What Our Clients Say
"Met Maria and knew that I’d found the right teacher for me. I’m brand new to aesthetics and was nervous to take the plunge into a new career. I shouldn’t have been; Maria had me every step of the way. Great training pack, informative guides, in-depth understanding of the disciplines you’re training in, live models and practicals all formed part of the learning. I completed the 1-2-1 skin specialist training with Microneedling and Chemical Peels and can’t wait to come back for my Skin Boosters course. Can’t thank you enough, Maria - your experience and passion shine through. Thank you for all your support and guidance."

"Where do I start? I have had the best time learning with Maria. I have done a couple of courses with Maria, and she really does go the extra mile for her students. Maria feeds you with great confidence and gives you such knowledge. She really has put me at ease and believed in me through my new journey. She is at hand 24/7 for support and advice, which I’ve never had with any other training I have done in the past. I couldn’t recommend Maria Carmen Academy enough - totally amazing."
Charlotte G
"I can not give Maria enough stars! I have been on many training courses but Maria’s has hands down been the most informative course I’ve ever been on. From the moment I arrived I was greeted with a huge warm smile and I felt at ease straight away! Maria is truly a people person who makes you feel so comfortable in her presence! No question is silly and I have left feeling so confident in IV & NAD+ drips!
I will most definitely be back for more training with Maria she is honestly so professional and so good at what she does. Thank you so much I can’t wait to train in more things with you."
