Age Powerfully with Facial Renewal

superj2022-04-07T20:52:40-07:00

Age Powerfully and Embrace Deep Beauty with the Three Treasures of Facial Renewal. Today I wanted to write about the theme of my upcoming book trilogy. This focuses on embracing deep beauty to age powerfully. The idea behind this is changing our mindset when it comes to how we age. Changing it from a place of fear around aging. Becoming "less than" as we age, and that focuses on outer beauty as society tells us. By choosing to focus on surface aging, we ignore the deeper layers of ourselves. This can create blockage and stagnation within our bodies. In Chinese Medicine [...]

What is Medical Microneedling? Medical Microneedling is an incredible treatment. It utilizes the ancient secrets of Acupuncture with the modern technology used by Dermatologists.
