Facial retraining therapist in CA?
« on: February 29, 2012, 09:04:37 am »
Hi,
Can anyone please recommend a facial therapist in CA? I have heard of Wanda Crook. Does anyone have any experience with her?

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Heather,
I know that there on people on the forum who have worked with Wand Crook and I recall they spoke highly of her.  She trained with Jackie Diels.  When Ken saw Jackie Diels in January we discussed the scarcity of facial retraining therapists in the States and Jackie mentioned  that Wanda Crooks is very good.  When you get in touch with Jackie, she might have some suggestions.  Best of luck to you in connecting with Jackie or Wanda. 
Regards,
Mirana

I've been seeing Teresa England for the past 4 years and have seen a great deal of success.  She's in Garden Grove CA in Orange County.  She did the retraining of Mary Jo Butafucco.
