How can you practice facial acupuncture as a transformative tool for improving not only your patients’ physical, but also their emotional and spiritual health?

Mary Elizabeth Wakefield (of the Wakefield Technique of facial acupuncture) and MichelAngelo, her life, business and teaching partner, present an alchemical approach to facial renewal which engages patients at a deeper level and honors the transformative potential embodied within the facial landscape. Changes occurring within patients through facial acupuncture are mirrored outwardly, providing eloquent testimony as to the benefits of healthy aging.

In this handbook, you will be provided with grounded practical skills that can be readily incorporated into a pre-existing acupuncture practice. With a blend of spiritual knowledge and practical information, chapters include topics such as elemental physiognomy, the use of essential oils with the eight extraordinary meridians, and spiritual point arrays for treatment.

Features a fully developed, illustrated facial protocol, along with a wealth of information regarding supportive constitutional treatment strategies to spark your patients’ Shen.

Editorial Reviews:

In over 40 years of practice, I’ve never seen such alchemical and practical facial acupuncture combined so beautifully, all in one place. A must for every practitioner interested in deep transformation. Pure genius! — Dr. Susan Lange, OMD, L.Ac. ‘The Power of Your Face – from Trauma that Ages to Radiance that Transforms’

Another great work by Mary Elizabeth Wakefield! Through its fusion of both Eastern and Western alchemical philosophies, this book not only allows you, the practitioner, to elicit noble transformation of your patient but also of yourself. — Terry Fox, MSTCM, L.Ac., co-author of ‘The Hunt For My Smile’

Alchemical Facial Acupuncture embodies the elements of theory and practice, making this book both captivating to read and essential for a superior constitutional facial acupuncture treatment. In addition to facial motor point protocols, the book includes a wealth of supportive constitutional treatments.

Mary Elizabeth and MichelAngelo write like they teach, entertaining their audience with wonderful stories that help to make the material relatable. Kudos! — Patricia Gust, L. Ac., M.Ac., Diplomat.
