Product Description
Course Overview:
This is a foundational & intensive course – not simple formula’s that put people in limiting boxes. You will learn the science of personal image, how to SEE, use your intuition, and how to speak the language of affirmation. Many who have trained with other programs find this to be more comprehensive and an added value to previous training.

Lynne Robson – :
This class was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to study with a true master of style. I am so glad I went! It was more than worth the cost; the experience was priceless. The week with Carla Mathis (and Erin Mathis) was life-changing. Carla is a great teacher and very wise. I had my doubts that I would leave in five short days ready for clients, but the course is so well-designed that everyone there indeed walked out with professional-level skills. We learned so much! We were given a huge binder of detailed, thorough information. We got lots of practice time in as well as hands-on lectures. Of particular value was the chance to interact directly with Carla, who created the language personal stylists use worldwide today, and to see style through her eyes. She clearly cares about her students as people and does all she can to help us succeed. For someone so accomplished she is very down to earth and ready to pass on all she can. Her eye is so developed after all the years of styling that anytime I asked her a specific question I ended up seeing things I never would have seen on my own. The days were long and intense, but in a good way, because everything we did was fascinating. Of great value too was hearing Carla’s insights into how we could improve our personal look; it really helped me understand proportion in a new way. At the end I did an individual 3-hour session with Carla, had my mind blown again, and then dashed out for the trip home, transformed.
