I participated in Virginia Doran’s workshop on her original method of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and found her protocol to be highly effective. She presents information clearly and with an engaging manner. Her commitment and integrity to her work shine through all the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have spent over ten years using the amazing protocol Virginia developed, after flying out to the US to train with her.\u00a0 What Virginia teaches is the most wholistic and comprehensive approach to FRA that I have experienced \u2013 she leads the competition I have to say!\u00a0 I have many happy clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This seminar has been the best facial rejuvenation acupuncture seminar that I\u2019ve taken. I\u2019ve taken 2 others previously. The point combinations to benefit the skin!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved taking your workshops.\u00a0 It has been very beneficial to my clinic.\u00a0 Please let me know when you\u2019re going to offer rejuvenation workshops in the Boston area again.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to brush up my skills, and learn something new. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a busy practitioner, always grateful to have tools where I can look up and recall things I had seen or heard. Virginia’s DVD does just that.\u00a0 Whether you had taken her seminar or not in person, the DVD is a great reminder. Like many great resources, it serves as a launching pad for other ideas or theories I came up with on my own journeys with my patients. Save time and frustration, take a look \u2013 it is definitely not just about the face.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am so enjoying your DVD, it’s great, and you come across really well. Can’t wait for the book too, I’m so pleased you are doing them, it really establishes you as the lead player. Brilliant!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for my handouts, they are great too. A book will be great and really make it clear that you are such an innovator and leader in the field.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Virginia, I just watched the DVDs. I have to say I learned so much more. Classroom is not the best for me. If you are not fully engaged 100% of the time you can miss the boat. I think it is well presented, and clear. Good photography, and diagrams. Thanks again.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is me that should be THANKING YOU! I truly enjoyed your workshop and learned so much – in fact I came home last night and went right to the DVD, which is fantastic. I actually saw what I was doing wrong with my points on the scalp….I was forming a triangle with the wrong points…..no wonder I couldn’t get it right. The visuals on the DVD made me see that clearly …so thank you so much for the DVD and ALL the amazing oils. We will definitely meet again soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My patient says people who haven’t run into her for several\u00a0weeks, just blurt right out, “my god, what have you done to your face, it\u00a0looks fabulous!” \u00a0She just beams to return for treatment #8.\u00a0Actually, I am incorporating quite a bit of the flower essence therapy with\u00a0treatment, which I have just come to love using. . .I use it for everything\u00a0now – \u00a0injury, stress, psychic protection, etc.\u00a0Thanks for you time and your teaching. \u00a0You have an incredible gift, and I feel blessed to have been a recipient of a small portion of your knowledge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Virginia! I bought your new DVD in December and I watched it several times. It’s really great!!! Especially the practical part, which is very good to remember – the special techniques. I also liked the written facts and power points, to underline the most important facts you spoke about. Greetings from Vienna!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been using your treatment techniques for several years now and I\u2019m continually impressed with\u2014and sometimes even surprised by\u2014the effectiveness of these treatments. My patients are just as pleased as I am!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was just looking at your wonderful video! I remember taking your awesome class in 2003 at Bastyr University in Seattle. I was just about to graduate at the time, and now several years later still occasionally refer to my notes from your class! Classic and effective treatments prove to provide long-lasting results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the midst of \u201ccatching up\u201d after your seminar on facial rejuvenation in Santa Cruz, I felt compelled to write you a letter of gratitude. Your discussion, demeanor, presentation and \u201cno-nonsense\u201d approach spoke to me in a precise and efficient manner which I so<\/em> appreciate. Additionally, I returned to Dallas feeling competent to perform the treatment protocol because of your taking the time to personally critique the work I did on patients in class.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so very much for sharing your long-term in-depth experience and knowledge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for the all the work you’ve done putting together the Facial Rejuvenation program. I started giving the treatments as soon as I got back from the workshop and am really enjoying it. I like how specific it is – it suits me perfectly and I really love working with the essential oils and hydrosols.\u00a0 It’s obvious that you’ve put an incredible amount of time and energy into this – and I feel really lucky to have gotten the chance to learn from you. Thanks also for the website referral.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Susan Beck, Acupuncturist \u00a0Portland, OR (USA)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The experience of \u00a0the Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture certification at Bastyr University was awesome. I so appreciate your investment of creating such a wonderful system. It is a contribution to health care that serves individuals in the four areas of experience…physical, mental, emotional and spiritual…all of which can certainly afford rejuvenating to enhance well-being. I am amazed by what a difference each treatment accomplishes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is truly a gift you have shared with us as your budding apprentices. I am committed to making a flow of energy happen in this arena, and will alter my acupuncture practice accordingly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have already 6 clients in progress, five women and one man. Each of these people is profoundly aware of the shifting of energy not only in their faces but also systemically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am sending on to you my registration info for your referral site, and I look forward to being available for referrals here in Seattle and in Sequim, WA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope to register for the Aromatherapy course you will be teaching here. In the meantime, it will be fun to try out the various suggestions you have included in this category.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With appreciation and gratitude to you,<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Thank You!” again, for the opportunity to assist with the class this past weekend in PA! I truly appreciate having the chance to refresh my skill sets and learn (or relearn) a few new things as well. It’s totally awesome to see the reaction of students and patients, when they observe the positive changes in their appearance and how refreshed they feel afterwards. It inspires me to promote this work to a MUCH larger degree in my practice, plus I really enjoy implementing the protocol and the “meditative zone” that goes with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your new DVD – Wow!! I can’t wait to sit down and watch it – it will clearly be an invaluable tool to view repeatedly, especially the practical close-ups, as I am a perfectionist when it comes to these things. Congrats on producing and offering such a high quality product to your students. I also love all the wonderful tidbits that you share with us, from the teas, to the awesome line of energetic angelic sprays you’ve discovered, etc. Great stuff!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was wonderful to see you again & I look forward to the next time you come back, to hopefully offer some of your other workshops also!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just wanted to thank you for presenting such an informative workshop last weekend. It really gave me a lot of new information and ideas about how best to help my patients look and feel better. Also, thank you for letting me be the guinea pig! You have a great way with the needles. I am wondering if you know the name of the newspaper that the article is going to be in? I would like to contact them to arrange to get a copy if at all possible. \u00a0I look forward to coming to more of your workshops.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You did a great job and never forget that. YOU are the expert on your topic–after all, you are teaching us! \u00a0I know that I am not the only one there who was excited, stimulated, and encouraged by your program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am interested in being on your referral network.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was my good fortune to have studied with you, and have treated about 10 clients this first year, and hope to continue. Hopefully, there will be\u00a0another opportunity in the future to study further. Let me know if you have\u00a0any more advanced workshops planned for 2003.\u00a0Is it alright with you to\u00a0link to your website if people want more information about facial rejuvenation? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your wonderful healing and inspirational presence. \u00a0 I hope we meet again soon.\u00a0 I brought a little bit of Hawaii back with me in my essential oil mix…it’s really quite ecstatic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the way, I did a have quite a terrible rash\/reaction to the tiny jellyfish that get inside your bathing suit and sting….Tried all kinds of things but the itch is horrible. \u00a0 However, what really worked was the hydrosol that I had made at the workshop for my daughter’s acne!!!\u00a0 Luckily I could easily carry and apply it in the car and plane or keep by the bedside. \u00a0 Worked much better than Calamine, Benadryl, aloe, alcohol, vinegar, etc. etc. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use my testimonial to the power of your wonderful teaching and excellent quality hydrosols.\u00a0 It really was a saving grace on those jellyfish stings.\u00a0Many mahalos (thanks).<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I attended your September seminar in Vancouver, 2003, received\u00a0certification, and spoke with you about being listed on your website.\u00a0I would be totally honored to give a testimonial.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the many seminars I have taken, yours has really been one of the most\u00a0practical and beneficial ones to help build my practice and provide a\u00a0genuinely exciting direction. I eagerly anticipate your book and know that it\u00a0will be of great benefit to help my patients.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was very impressed with your\u00a0healing abilities and like you, devoted to the use of my hands in my\u00a0practise so I felt you’ve got that healing touch.\u00a0 My practise has\u00a0definitely changed since the seminar. I am more subtle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can honestly say that within the first weeks I had such enthusiastic\u00a0results, I felt like devoting myself entirely to skin conditions. I had a\u00a0case of shingles and a scleroderma patient that received superior results\u00a0that were gleaned directly from your expertise. The shingles patient had a\u00a0severe case on her forehead towards the eye. We used a hydrosol of Melissa\u00a0(50%), German Chamomile(25%), and Lavender(25%) with a herbal formula. She\u00a0loved the hydrosol so much I had to fill it twice for her because she felt\u00a0it took the pain out immediately and helped her get over the intense acute\u00a0period. She came a few weeks after to show me that her forehead was\u00a0completely clear. Shortly after I had another elderly gentleman who said the\u00a0same thing with his shingles. The hydrosol was so good and easy to apply for\u00a0the burning sensation that accompanies the virus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My scleroderma patient said the facial rejuvenation has made her feel normal\u00a0in the mourning when she looks in the mirror and has continued treatments to\u00a0the point that she is willing to be a before and after testimonial. The\u00a0people in the health food store said she was looking so good and she was\u00a0very happy to tell them what kind of treatments she was getting and from\u00a0whom. But then again I’ve heard this a number of times already from others I\u00a0have treated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, my patient who had the series of 12 Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatments no longer wears\u00a0glasses.\u00a0 Her optometrist told me that there had been a change of 1.5\u00a0diopters, and this lady has worn glasses for driving, movies, tv, etc.\u00a0since her teens.\u00a0 She is very happy, doubly happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to highly recommend Virginia Doran’s acupuncture facial rejuvenation class. I have received a lot of interest from my clients as to what Chinese Medicine can offer in terms of a more youthful appearance without surgery, and Virginia’s combination of acupuncture, herbs and aromatherapy are amazing. Her techniques address not just the superficial, cosmetic concerns of clients, but work to heal the person on a very deep level, so that mind\/body\/spirit are in balance, and therefore a more youthful appearance, as well as a greater level of health are attained. Thanks, Virginia, for your very informative, innovative class!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia Doran\u2019s enjoyable FRA course added a completely new dimension to my acupuncture practice, and it is one which is fascinating and a new way of engaging with clients.\u00a0 A FRA treatment, as I provide it, is the \u201cGold standard\u201d of all the treatments I offer, because it is so thorough. I do a good healing acupuncture treatment and make sure that any health issues are addressed, and I do a massage which is so nurturing for people, then I look at the face in detail with a client — that is so interesting, it tells a story.\u00a0 Most important to me is empowerment through the treatments, and clients emerge somehow more beautiful, but also more themselves.\u00a0 I love this time spent with women tackling the issue of aging together, and I find that through this issue we can reach places inside ourselves which steal so much of our life \u2013 force, places where we unjustly judge ourselves or try to be other than who we are.\u00a0 But through these FRA treatments, it\u2019s done in a way which is light, fun, we are aware that this is a great luxury \u2013 my most recent client said, \u201cI feel like a Princess,\u201d people come out feeling and looking so good that self-acceptance comes easier.\u00a0 I have to say, as an acupuncturist who loves detail, I also really enjoy looking closely at the beautiful bones in the face and skull and I derive satisfaction from the sacred privilege of using these points, there is magic in them, and some of them relate to the window of the sky.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been using the red\u2013beam laser cluster from Thor, that I showed you, once every three days, on the wound line on my face, and I have been using the Hydrosols\u00a0spray twice a day (and the Essential Oil formula) at night on the wound line.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is visible improvement on this wound line, and it has only been a week! There is still a ways to go, but I am so pleased with this progress!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture was a three-day elective offered by my school. I decided to enroll because it sounded interesting; I’m very glad I did.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia Doran was a captivating speaker. She shared a story about how someone told her she would be doing facelifts with acupuncture over a decade before it actually happened. Manifest destiny? Perhaps\u2026 Anyway, the course was fascinating. She recounted how certain clients would come to her, their faces hardened by life, and through her treatments she watched them soften and transform their hardness into beauty. We learned the facial rejuvenation massage protocol as well as the acupuncture protocol. It was intense \u2013 there was a LOT of information, but Virginia provided ample handouts, diagrams and instruction. I left the course feeling like this was something I really wanted to pursue. I still feel that way! I’ve got a year left of school, and I am hoping to have the opportunity to practice the protocol on patients in my school’s clinic. I would highly recommend this course! Not only will it bring life to your practice, it can help make the world a more beautiful place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I highly recommend Virginia Doran\u2019s Facial Rejuvenation Certification Program.\u00a0 Virginia is very passionate and knowledgeable in this field and is able to convey her expertise in a fashion that is easily understood and allows you to easily grasp and put into practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DVD is also very beneficial and reinforced what was learned in class.\u00a0 The two combined have allowed me to hit the ground running and immediately implement this in my practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love Virginia\u2019s approach to Facial Rejuvenation as it is very profound and focuses on so much more than the superficial appearance of the face.\u00a0 Her method truly allows one to assist others in bringing out their inner radiance and luminosity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took your June seminar in New Preston and after seeing a couple of patients utilizing your approach, I wanted to let you know that I think that you provided a great base for understanding and performing facial acupuncture following your protocol.\u00a0 I will have to let you know my long-term results.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Deirdre Williams, ND, Wilton, CT (USA)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It has now been 7 years since I took your course at the Naturopathic College in Toronto.\u00a0 I decided to compare a photo of a client I had taken during the initial 12 sessions to a more recent photo.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I see the client regularly for health preservation mostly, and we occasionally do a top up of the face, although we have never done the full 12 sessions again.\u00a0 In fact, we have done maybe two in a row or one a month for a few months.\u00a0 Also have long stretches where the face isn\u2019t the focus.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I took the recent photo and showed the two photos to someone who doesn\u2019t know the person personally.\u00a0 He could tell which one was the younger photo, although he preferred the look of the more recent photo \u2013 thought the skin looked better overall.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I said there was a 7-year difference in the photos he said, \u201cI would have thought 2 years max.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As the client has transitioned from their 50\u2019s into their 60\u2019s during this time period, I thought this was excellent.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to say thank you for developing and sharing your technique.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With gratitude and wishing you continued success,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Virginia, I\u2019m a student of yours that trained in the early 2000s in Massachusetts with you.\u00a0 Also, we had a class together in Toronto some years ago.\u00a0 I\u2019m so grateful to have been able to have had you as a teacher.\u00a0 I\u2019m using the techniques that you taught me, regularly.\u00a0 Thank you much.\u00a0 Hope to see you again soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to assist in the Florida courses so I can further my practice of the facial technique. P.S. had a great time at the course in Fort Lauderdale.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like I said, this is the first time ever, that something has been able to clear up my acne type skin! I like it because it’s much smoother, the pores are smaller, and it’s less likely to break out. A noticeable difference showed up after just a few days of use of your hydrosol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am thoroughly enjoying your facial rejuvenation DVD’s. They are very well done! Thank you for all the effort you put together in making the DVD’s! I appreciated being able to see the technique again close up and with professional photography. The quality of the DVDs and your lecture are so good that I think a person could learn the technique in the comfort of their home, however, I think participating in your workshop allows for a greater depth of appreciation and the ability to get hands on feedback.
\nThanks again Virginia!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":796,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nTestimonials - Luminous Beauty - Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/luminousbeauty.com\/website_ba14ff06\/ninetynine\/testimonials\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Testimonials - Luminous Beauty - Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I am thoroughly enjoying your facial rejuvenation DVD's.
