Our Instructors

Andrea Goodfellow
President
Esthetic, Nail Technology & Make up Instructor
Andrea has been in the esthetic industry for over 14 years. After running her own salon for 7 years, she ventured into the teaching of esthetics. Throughout her teaching career, one of her students was awarded the honor of top practical student in the province of NB for esthetics, and her nail technology students in 2006-07 and again in 2007-08 received the highest theory and highest practical for nail technology in the province. Annual upgrading is a must for instructors, so Andrea traveled to Toronto to attend the Spa International Trade Show. Andrea’s love of the industry ensures every student at Essence gets exactly what they came for!

"After selling insurance for years, I wanted a change. Essence Institute has a close knit family atmosphere and with the one-on-one training I was comfortable asking questions. As a mature student, I was afraid I would be out of my comfort zone, but I quickly felt like part of the Essence family. If you are looking for a change and want to be part of a fast growing industry, I recommend you come and check out Essence!"

"After doing 15 years of office work, I decided to fulfill a life long dream and pursue Hairstyling. At the age of 57, I stepped through the doors of Essence Institute and joined a class of young energetic girls. At first I felt a bit over-whelmed with everything, but I soon settled in. I've enjoyed the course tremendously at this school and have made new friends. I would encourage anyone to pursue your dreams."
