Islander takes a study sabbatical

Maureen Elizabeth Quinn, doctor of acupuncture, otherwise known as "Dr. Beth," will take a one-year sabbatical.

Quinn will go to Hawaii, where she earned her Master of Science Degree in oriental medicine. She will study Lomilomi, which is Hawaiian prayer massage. The training will give her a certificate and license to practice massage/ bodywork, and she will also focus on seaweed wraps and other such healing-treatment protocols.
