When she is comfortable with that, then go from there, taking tiny baby steps along the way. The more you "practice" the better she will get.

Good luck.
Great advice!! Loves all the "P"s!!

You can also occupy her with treats or a bully stick. Whenever you are watching TV or just holding her give her a massage and teach her to relax. Practice looking at her teeth and in her ears and massaging her face and her paws. She will get to where she likes it if you are gentle and soothing and it is part of "your time together".
Good luck.
