The Clinical Foundation The Industry No Longer Gives You
Relying on fragmented advice and online forums leaves too much to chance. Move beyond the “two-day course” and rebuild the clinical skin science that legislation removed — taught by Professional Beauty Awards Judge, Jody Adele Taylor.
Passion Gets You In. Clinical Understanding Keeps You In
I’ve spent 30 years watching practitioners enter this field full of passion — only to discover that the education they were given was never enough to support long-term, safe, confident practice. Most therapists were never taught the foundation the industry used to require. Short courses, social media forums, and fragmented training leave capable professionals unsure of their decisions. This academy restores that foundation — teaching you to think like a specialist, not just follow a protocol.
Stop Guessing. Practise With Confidence
Skin isn’t “easy” — and when education is reduced to shortcuts, therapists are left exposed to poor outcomes, damaged confidence, and reputations they didn’t deserve to lose. This academy isn’t another shortcut. It’s where you learn why treatments work, how to explain them to clients, and how to practise with authority.
Test Your Clinical Understanding - Skin Analysis
If the clinical protocol in this module feels unfamiliar, it’s a sign that the industry’s shortcuts left gaps in your education — not a reflection of your capability. If it excites you, you’ve found your home.

Build Clinical Authority That Keeps Clients Coming Back
“I’m often asked how I’ve kept clients for over a decade without spending a penny on ads. It’s simple: clients stay when expectations are exceeded, explained with authority, understanding, and education.
If you can’t explain the ‘why’ to your client, you aren’t an authority. You’re just a technician. The SkinDeep Academy is where we change that.”
FAQ
-
Being qualified doesn’t always mean you were given the depth of clinical theory that used to be standard across the industry. Changes in legislation and training models have shortened education pathways, often leaving gaps in understanding rather than ability.
This academy exists to restore that foundational knowledge, so practitioners can make confident clinical decisions and explain them clearly — not simply follow protocols.
-
he Academy is self-paced, allowing you to engage with the material alongside clinical work rather than around fixed schedules. Modules are structured to be taken in focused sessions, but meaningful benefit comes from reflection and application — not speed.
This is not designed to be rushed. Practitioners typically engage in short sessions and return to modules as their clinical questions evolve.
-
No. The Academy is clinically led, with business education taught through the lens of professional practice rather than marketing tactics.
Business-focused sessions explore how clinical standards, decision-making, and clear client communication support a sustainable clinic — including how Jody plans and evaluates her own practice. There are no scripts, shortcuts, or growth “hacks”. The emphasis is on thinking, not tactics.
-
Live webinars are structured teaching sessions led by Jody, each focused on a specific clinical or business topic. She shares how she approaches decision-making, planning, and problem-solving in her own practice.
Questions at the end of each session are there to deepen understanding of the subject being discussed. The intention is to support practitioners in developing their own clinical reasoning, rather than relying on individual case-by-case advice.
-
Yes. Membership can be cancelled at any time, and you will not be charged for future renewals. The Academy is designed for practitioners who choose to engage over time, but there is no obligation to continue if it no longer feels appropriate.
