 Japanese Facial Massage is a unique method that focuses on a blend of the aesthetic and physiological.

The focus is on:
1. Increasing the flow of oxygen and blood to the facial area, neck and shoulders
2. Toning and tightening of the skin and fascia
3. Lymphatic drainage and detoxification of skin and organ systems
4. Better mental alertness, focus and relaxation for the client
5. Emotional cleansing through ear-acupressure and essential oils
6. Preventive maintenance for aging and skin blemishes\

Traditionally, through the use of Acupressure and special manipulative massage strokes, the treatment goes beyond Swedish massage and concentrates on opening up the acupuncture meridians that energize the face, head and shoulders to achieve a balancing and grounding effect.
Additional physiological relief is obtained for all types of headaches, TMJ dysfunctions, sinusitis and emotional balancing.
This is a hands-on course where the student learns to incorporate theory by working with Qi using penetration techniques, field awareness and intention concentrates on the practitioner going beyond the superficial beauty of the client by bringing out the RADIANCE OF INNER HEALTH
