Finding those qualities as well as the undeniable level of skill in the people who care for your skin and wellbeing needs is so paramount and really makes all the difference.Gertrude Olia Ryan Downie, the daughter of the late Joseph Patrick and Olia Elgin Bryant Ryan was born in Union County, Mississippi on March 7,1915, and passed away at the Christian Health Care in Nevada, Missouri on March 10, 2006, at the age of 91 years and 3 days. Both Marvia and Lorraine are truly lovely, honest, considerate people who know what they are doing and will only advise what is best for each individual client. While I could go on and on I must say that the proof is very much in the pudding when it comes to Lorraine and the clinic.I get so many compliments on my skin and as a consequence friends, family and even strangers IвЂ™ve met here and there now flock to the clinic for their essential skin upkeep. This is one of the many added things I love about Wyndham. All bases are covered ! Lorraine and Marvia are always bringing in new treatments and specialists into the clinic and work hard to keep things current and constantly evolving and available for their clients. She sends me off with my many oils and passes on endless techniques and tips so that I can maintain my skin myself, keeping it in tip top shape when I canвЂ™t see her.

I have been going to Wyndham Place Clinic and seeing Lorraine for 18 years and my mother has been going for even longer than that.between us weвЂ™ve had just about every treatment and I wonвЂ™t let anyone else in the world other than Lorraine touch my face, even though I now spend more than half the year living abroad! It may sound dramatic but Lorraine is simply fabulous and I know that I can always rely on her endless years of experience and knowledge.
