When I started out on this journey of studying TCM, I had heard about ‘cosmetology’ or ‘cosmetic acupuncture’ but I boohooed it, as I didn’t think it had much credibility.
A few years after graduation, I was looking for a speciality that really interested me. It got me thinking, as I knew it would become a huge growth industry on its own right. So I started researching meticulously who was teaching this and what were their credentials. There are only a handful of people internationally who teach this and it was extremely important to me that they had an impressive resume and were highly respected. I came across Mary Elizabeth Wakefield who coincidently was teaching her first protocol ‘Constitutional Acupuncture Facial Renewal’ for the first time in Australia. She was elected as ‘educator of the year’ so realised she must be very good. I wasn’t proven wrong. She has an exceptional teaching ability with a user-friendly protocol that works. At the same time a fellow Australian colleague suggested I check out ‘Qi Beauty ‘ and soon as he mentioned the ‘ gold magnets ‘
I had already remembered I had previously seen the website but dismissed it as it sounded too good to be true. On a hunch I again researched the site and phoned Kathy Pederson to discuss potential business.
At the same time I was planning to market ‘cosmetic acupuncture’ here in NZ and I was looking for innovative products that had a TCM focus. I was immediately impressed by Kathy Pedersen’s professionalism and passion for the products. Kathy Pedersen was in the process of launching the ‘Qi Beauty MING’ facial and I was really intrigued by it and realised I had an opportunity that was too good to miss. The great thing was Kathy flew out to me in NZ and all I had to do was organise clients. The training was concise and effective and the great thing was I ready to treat full paying customers after ONLY two days of training.
I have found having Qi Beauty products and the MING facial has given me a huge edge in a very competitive anti-ageing market. I love the fact the Qi Beauty Ming facial is so unique that no one else has it (yet) in New Zealand and it attracts so much interest. Clients love the instant results. There could be potential clients who initially maybe put off by the thought of needles so having the MING is a great way to attract needle phobic clients to the clinic.
In summary if you are looking for a competitive edge with products that are backed with research that has credibility and its foundations in TCM, has fantastic mentoring and support I couldn’t highly think of anyone else in this industry other than Qi Beauty.

To whom it may concern,
I have been fortunate to have trained under Kathy Pedersen with the Cleopatra Facial last weekend in Auckland New Zealand.
The Cleopatra Facial will bring another dimension and an edge to my and your Acupuncture practice. I would like to stress that Kathy’s professionalism and the one on one teaching suited me perfectly and I would consider it absolutely mandatory if you wanted to learn the Cleopatra Facial.
Kathy was able to teach me in a way that complemented my learning abilities and she could personalise this in a way that suited me. I loved that fact it was a hands on workshop and I came out of it armed with my questions answered and more than enough skills and knowledge to get started.
So if you were seriously considering learning the Cleopatra Facial I would highly recommend the one on one tuition.
Sincerely,
Patrice Hardy
