THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT IS HERE.

Have you been thinking about starting a business—but aren’t sure where to begin?

Or maybe you’re already in business and wondering what you could be doing differently.

After more than 20 years in leadership, management, entrepreneurship, and business ownership, I’ve learned a lot about what works, what doesn’t, what costs money, and what I would absolutely do differently today.

That’s why I created The Business Blueprint: A Real-World Business Development Class.

We’ll cover the details that actually go into building and running a successful business—from startup planning, pricing and profitability to branding, marketing, customer retention, policies, systems, staffing, leadership, and growth.

And this is important: this class is NOT just for the beauty industry. It’s for aspiring entrepreneurs, startups, and established business owners in any industry.

My professional career began in 2002 in golf course and country club management, followed by more than a decade of entrepreneurship, business ownership, and professional education. Today, my career has grown to include international judging, multiple industry awards, Miss Omaha, and becoming a Published Industry Author with Skin Inc. Magazine.

Now I’m ready to take the lessons I’ve learned along the way—the good ones and the expensive ones—and teach them.

✨ Founding Class: $395 through December 1, 2026

Oncology Esthetic Certification Training

Safe & Compassionate Skin Care for the Oncology Client

November 8, 2026

Time: 10am-6pm

What You’ll Learn

  • Understanding cancer and oncology terminology relevant to esthetic practice
  • Common cancer treatments and how they can affect the skin, hair, and nails
  • Skin changes associated with chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and endocrine therapies
  • Oncology-focused client consultations and skin assessments
  • Identifying contraindications, precautions, and when medical guidance may be necessary
  • Understanding compromised, sensitized, and barrier-impaired skin
  • Safely modifying professional esthetic treatments for oncology clients
  • Treatment considerations for radiation-treated and post-surgical skin
  • Lymph-node and swelling considerations within the esthetician’s scope of practice
  • Gentle cleansing, hydration, and barrier-supportive treatment protocols
  • Ingredient science and appropriate product selection
  • Ingredients, products, and procedures that may require modification or avoidance
  • Infection prevention, sanitation, and client safety
  • Professional communication, compassionate care, and maintaining appropriate boundaries
  • Knowing when to treat, when to modify, and when to refer
  • Creating appropriate home-care recommendations for compromised skin
  • Case studies and real-world treatment scenarios
  • Building confidence in serving clients affected by cancer within your professional scope of practice

Created and taught by Jessica Johnson, Licensed Esthetician, Master Educator, International Judge & Breast Cancer Survivor, this training combines professional esthetics education with firsthand experience.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Jessica personally experienced the cancer journey through surgery, 15 radiation treatments, and ongoing treatment and recovery. As an esthetician, she found herself experiencing skin changes, sensitivity, healing and recovery not only as a skincare professional—but as the patient herself.

“I’ve sat on both sides of the treatment room.”

Going through radiation gave Jessica an especially personal understanding of how cancer treatment can affect the skin and how important it is for estheticians to understand radiation-treated skin, barrier changes, sensitivity, healing, treatment modifications and appropriate professional precautions.

That experience changed the way she viewed caring for clients affected by cancer and inspired the creation of Oncology Esthetics Certification Training.

This course brings professional education together with the compassion that comes from personally understanding what it feels like to be the person on the other side of the treatment room.

Students will learn about the potential effects of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapies and endocrine therapies, with special attention given to radiation-related skin changes and considerations for professional esthetic care.

The goal is not to medically treat cancer or its complications. It is to give esthetic professionals greater knowledge and confidence to provide safe, thoughtful and compassionate skincare services within their professional scope of practice.

Cancer can change someone’s skin, body and confidence. Sometimes the smallest act of compassionate care can help a person feel like themselves again.

Knowledge makes us better professionals. Experience teaches us compassion.

A Class Created From Professional & Personal Experience

As a licensed esthetician and educator who has personally battled breast cancer, I have experienced oncology care from a perspective I never expected to have.

I’ve sat on both sides of the treatment room.

This course combines professional esthetics education with a deeply personal understanding of how cancer treatment can affect the skin, comfort, confidence, and overall client experience.

My goal is to help other professionals provide oncology clients with knowledgeable, safe, compassionate care—while clearly understanding the boundaries of our professional scope.
