About this Event
In Chinese medicine, the face is a map of what’s happening inside: how we sleep, how we digest, how much stress we carry. Lines, puffiness and tension aren’t flaws to hide but messages worth listening to. In this intimate evening for up to 20 people, you’ll learn to read your own face, then work with it using only your hands: gentle Gua Sha strokes, acupressure and jaw release that soften what the day has left behind. We close with breath, warm tea and time to connect, so you leave with practices you can return to every morning at home
What We'll Do
01
Arrival & Welcome Tea
We arrive, settle in with a cup of tea and take a moment to land in the space and in our bodies.
02
Face Mapping Mirrors out.
Discover what each zone of the face reflects in TCM, from the forehead to the chin, and what your own face may be telling you.
03
Hands-Only Gua Sha & Acupressure
Gentle drainage strokes to reduce puffiness, points to relieve tired eyes, and soothing work around the temples. No tools needed.
04
Sculpt: Jaw & Neck Release
We begin with the masseter, where most of us hold our tension, then move into the neck to release tightness and bring softness back to the face.
05
Beauty from the Inside
A short introduction to TCM foods that nourish skin and hair, so the care continues on your plate.
06
Calm the Nervous System
Breat-hwork combined with acupressure on Yin-Yang and ear points to help the body shift out of stress mode.
