SCULPTED - FOUNDATIONS.

This is a 1:1 training experience and I only take a select number of artists. It is designed for beginners and is also perfect for artists who’ve taken courses before but left feeling unprepared or unsure due to the lack of proper foundations. 

This isn’t fast-track training. It’s true foundations, done right. At Sculpted, I don’t train the masses—I mentor artists who are serious about skill, committed to excellence, and ready to invest in the time it takes to do this work properly.

My program is built to move with depth and purpose, not speed. These are peoples faces and every part of the treatment process matters—consultation, setup, safety, pre-draw, pigment science, color creation, needle and machine selection, execution, pre and post care, and the quality of healed results. These layers can’t be rushed. They must be understood, practiced, and mastered—because cutting corners leads to unsafe practices, confusion and poor quality work.

This program is for the artist who wants more—more intention, more guidance, more precision. If you’re looking for a quick certificate or a fast way to turn a buck, this isn’t for you. I don’t hand out shortcuts. I protect this craft because it’s changed my life—and I will not contribute to the alarming number of unprepared artists doing harm. But if you’re ready to take this seriously, to show up fully, and to learn the right way—I’ll be with you every step of the way.
