ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Most teachers on this subject studied with VIrginia Doran originally though she has not authorized anyone to teach her material. As an experienced international teacher and practitioner of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, Virginia Doran is a recognized expert in the field and had the great honor to be the first Westerner to teach acupuncture in Japan. Ms. Doran has been a teacher and lecturer in the field of holistic health since 1980 on the subjects of massage therapy, acupuncture, aromatherapy, flower essences, Chinese and Western herbs, nutrition and supplements. She graduated the Tri-State College for Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in 1995 as well as their postgraduate course in Chinese Herbology in 1999. Ms. Doran is nationally certified (NCCAOM) in acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. She graduated from the Swedish Institute of Massage and Allied Health Sciences in 1978 where she has since taught post graduate courses and has been a licensed massage therapist practicing since 1979. Ms. Doran has been sought out by major television networks to demonstrate acupuncture facial rejuvenation. Ms. Doran has also been featured in and been a consultant to many magazines and newspapers on acupuncture for facial rejuvenation and dermatological conditions. To share with others the benefits of the publicity, Virginia created a referral service on her website for her students. She is currently writing two books on facial rejuvenation, one for practitioners and one for the public. Her instructional DVD series on FRA was released in 2012.
