The Dragonfly Ranch is a Healing Arts retreat center and holistic B&B best known for the spirit of aloha that abounds there. It has luxuriously rustic indoor/outdoor treehouse-style lodging and a large organic garden which provides most of the wonderfully healthy food served there.

Ancient cultures have always known that beauty comes from the inside out. Common sense tells us that treating the underlying cause of aging effects is preferable to masking the symptoms. With this highly effective method of Facial Rejuvenation, one can simultaneously benefit a person's appearance and overall health. In this course, you will learn: * How to customize facial rejuvenation treatments utilizing an Oriental Medical approach * How to assess which meridians are involved in the various ways that individuals physically manifest the aging process * Point selection and needle technique for conditions such as acne, age spots, dry skin, sagging skin, wrinkles, scars, double chins, as well as bags and dark circles under the eyes * Chinese herbal patent formulas for facial rejuvenation treatment.

NOTE: Be prepared to give and receive a Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Treatment. Please dress for a full body treatment. Patients will be provided on Sunday for a second clinical encounter. Certification from Ms. Doran is optional and may be granted to students who pass both a written and practical exam
