January 9 through 11 and May 8 through 10, 2011 BellaPelle Skin Studio will be hosting Mórag Currin Method Oncology Esthetics™ Training courses. BellaPelle is very excited about the new training our skin care specialists will be receiving and we invite other Bay Area estheticians to register and join us for the class!
The 3-day training is for skin care professionals who want to learn specialized techniques in Oncology Esthetics. An oncology RN and licensed esthetician instructor trained in the Mórag Currin Method of Oncology Esthetics™ will educate the estheticians at BellaPelle Skin Studio on Maiden Lane in San Francisco.
Participants will learn about the special skin care needs and challenges of individuals living with cancer and how to perform safe skin and beauty treatments for these individuals. The course includes live and video demonstrations, and students have the opportunity to meet and work with cancer survivors who are present during the training. Certificates are personally signed by Mórag Currin, the facilitating oncology RN, and the licensed esthetic instructor.

- Have been touched by cancer directly or indirectly and want a more in-depth understanding of cancer, cancer therapies and their side effects.
