On The Radio!!!
On August 11th I had the previlage and joy to be interviewed by a dear client of mine, Marie Manuchehri.
Marie is an energy medicine healer who is the perfect bridge between conventional and holistic medicine. She was raised in a family that appreciates preventive medicine, including the importance of eating nutritional organic foods and taking healthy supplements. Yet, it was during her work as an oncology nurse that she discovered and developed her skills as an energy medicine practitioner. The hospital turned out to be the ideal place to understand the energetic relationship between health and disease.
A self taught healer, Marie learned to connect conventional medicine’s understanding of disease—as it was described in a patient’s chart—to what she could intuitively understand about how a patient’s condition related to his or her energy system. Over time, she learned to identify stagnant energy—a sign of disease—and move it out of the body, making room for free healthier energy to move in and work its healing magic. Freely flowing energy can release pain, disease, and help people move in a positive direction—toward health, wealth, and fulfilling relationships and careers. Marie also discovered she is a medium, with the ability to connect with those living on the other side. She uses her talents as an energy medicine practitioner and as a medium to help people heal their wounds and expand consciousness.
I had so much fun and if you would like to listen to my interview you can do so by clicking HERE!!

Introducing DERMASPACE THERAPY'S TRIPLE C&E COMPLEX
TRIPLE C&E COMPLEX
Stabilized Vitamins C & E For Sun Damaged Skin
Dry, lackluster | Lacking firmness or elasticity | Frequent blackheads or clogged pores, Deepening lines around the eyes, mouth, cheeks or jawline.
ACTIONS
• Youthful radiance begins to return within minutes
• Obvious lines around eyes, mouth, cheeks and jawline appear to diminish within weeks
• Evenness of skin tone starts to improve within days
• Blackheads and clogged pores begin to clear within days
DESCRIPTION A blend of three unique, time-released, targeted delivery systems slowly diffuse three stabilized forms of Vitamin C and three forms of Vitamin E throughout the skin, creating a reservoir of vitamins at all levels that helps visually repair years of sun damage within weeks.
The three forms of targeted Vitamin C absorb more efficiently, magnifying Vitamin C’s antioxidant, cell protective power up to six times. This means lower percentages of Vitamin C produce maximum results without risk of irritation or vitamin oxidation.
Known to be synergistic in their effects, Vitamin C recycles Vitamin E as an antioxidant, increasing Vitamin E’s free radical-scavenging effects fifty times normal. These vitamins also help prevent sebum oxidation, working together to reduce and prevent blackheads and clogged pores.
Within days to weeks, skin’s youthful radiance is revived, obvious lines and wrinkles diminish in appearance, normal skin tone begins to return, and blockages in pores are reduced or eliminated – without the irritating effects of other extra-strength Vitamin C products.
Note | The three delivery vehicles in Triple C&E Complex ensure the equivalent of 14% free Vitamin C is delivered into the skin. Because the Vitamin C is time-released and slowly converted to its acid state over several hours, irritation is significantly reduced or eliminated. The delivery vehicles also ensure the Vitamin C level stays constant throughout the shelf-life of the product, producing maximum vitamin stability and activity of a year or longer. Formulas that contain 10-20% Vitamin C frequently do so to offset the amount of Vitamin C that is oxidized throughout the product’s lifetime. Within six months, retesting of high percentage Vitamin C products shows their content can diminish to 2% or less, with the remainder of the Vitamin C oxidized – which is apparent as the product begins to turn brown. Oxidized Vitamin C can irritate the skin and cause blocked pores.
Triple C&E Complex is a gentle, no-sting formula that is tested and proven safe for sensitive skin.
When stored in a cool, darkened area, the stability of this formula is guaranteed for a minimum of one year. Does not contain synthetic fragrance, colorants or parabens.

Cool Photo from German Vogue!!!
Recently German Vogue did and article called "Perfect Beauty" and featured in the main photo was the treatment I offer at DERMASPACE, The Iderm Facial Treatment. I am the only clinical Esthetician north of San Francisco who offers this treat.
Great photo by Torkil Gudnason. The mask is actually backwards for dramatic interpretation and there is WAY more to the treatment than what this photo infers. Come see for yourself!!
You can learn more about this treatment by visiting my website.

The Magic of Cell Youth ActÍf
Cell Youth ActÍf: A DERMASPACE High Performance Treatment
Activates Youthful Skin in 14 Different Ways For Mature or Maturing Skin
DESCRIPTION: Activate and restore the youthful nature of your skin with this exclusive combination of five anti-aging cell technologies. As its lightweight texture melts into the skin, this serum works overtime to correct 14 signs of aging including:
1. Lines & wrinkles minimized
2. Firmness repaired
3. Contours redefined
4. Clarity revealed
5. Tone evened
6. Hydration intensified
7. Smoothness refined
8. Radiance awakened
9. Redness calmed
10. Puffiness eliminated
11. Sun damage diminished
12. Fragile skin strengthened
13. Vitality recharged
14. Repair enhanced
The culmination of over a decade of scientific research and multiple patents, this revolutionary serum is the first to address the 5 key processes known by reparative and regenerative biologists to have the most impact on cellular aging. This skin transforming serum contains five different anti-aging cell technologies:
Problem | Activation-resistant stem cells
Solution | Activate youthful skin where it begins | As you age, skin cells die, youthful proteins decline and moisture-holding lipids decrease. Waiting to receive the molecular message to take the place of dying cells are reservoirs of adult stem cells hidden in microscopic niches within your skin. Recently, scientists discovered messengers in a North Atlantic alga reactivate dormant stem cells1 found in mature skin.
Within days, skin is energized. Within weeks, skin appears regenerated. Contours become more defined, firmness returns, lines smooth and wrinkles are less noticeable.
Problem | Loss of cellular water
Solution | Boost cellular water | Vital for life-giving hydration, aquaporins are newly discovered cell membrane proteins known to channel water into cells. Unfortunately, these water channels decline with age. Skin may be hydrated, but little water is delivered inside cells. Skin looks flat, dull, lackluster.
Remarkably, molecules from the Brazilian tree Piptadenia colubrina increases the presence of aquaporins.
ACTIONS
· Activates youthful skin 14 ways
· Addresses the 5 key processes biologists believe have most impact on cellular aging
· Fourteen different signs of aging are corrected within 2 days to 3 months
· Unlike any other anti-aging formula on the market
· Contains 5 anti-aging technologies in 1 perfect solution
· Over a decade of research, multiple patents
· 85% natural (including water)
· Amplifies effects of treatment modalities & procedures
Geared for Aging, Mature and Menopausal Skin | Skin lacking firmness | Sun-Damaged Skin | Dull, tired, devitalized skin | Dehydrated and flaking skin | Red, Sensitive, Rosacea-prone skin.
Action Ingredients:
· Hydrolyzed Algin | creates revitalizing environment to awaken skin’s dormant stem cells. Activates youthful firmness and smoother, healthier-looking skin.
· Piptadenia Colubrina Peel Extract | molecules from this Brazilian tree increase the presence of aquaporins – the water channels in cell membranes – resulting in hydrated cells and more youthful looking and acting skin.
· Arabidopsis Extract | contains enzymes that repair the most common form of DNA damage; skin begins to look younger within days.
· Peumus Boldus Leaf Extract | a rich source of Resveratrol – a powerful antioxidant and sirtuin booster believed to protect against DNA damage and cell death, boost cellular antioxidant defenses and increase the lifespan of cells. Improves elasticity, reduces sensitivity and addresses deeper signs of aging.
· Ergothioneine | the cell’s principal energizing antioxidant, restores power to cells, quenching age-producing radicals and supporting cellular activities from detoxification to the production of youthful proteins; within days, visible redness is calmed, signs of repair are enhanced, and an even tone and clarity begin to return to skin.
In a four-week consumer test, 4 out of 5 people who used this product twice a day reported the following:
• On contact | skin is visibly smooth, comfortably hydrated
• Within 2 days | redness & puffiness are dramatically reduced
• Within 2 weeks | radiance, vitality & repair are clearly enhanced
• Within 6 weeks |clarity, lines, firmness & sun damage are noticeably improved
• Within 3 months | wrinkles may be radically diminished & contours redefined
