How the Session Unfolds

The session begins with a warm Eco-Fin hand and arm treatment, a paraffin-free alternative that deeply hydrates the skin while helping the nervous system settle. Tension held in the hands and forearms often mirrors tension higher up in the body, making this an effective starting point.

The face and upper chest are gently cleansed and removed with warm towels to prepare the skin and underlying tissues for detailed work.

Hands-on facial massage follows, supporting circulation, tissue mobility, and relaxation. Warm bamboo tools are then used across the face, neck, chest, and shoulders to help soften tight muscles and fascia while allowing deeper work without excessive pressure.

Gentle facial and neck cupping supports circulation and lymphatic movement, helping reduce stagnation and prepare the tissues for intraoral work.

Intraoral (buccal) TMJ techniques, performed with gloves, address muscles inside the mouth that cannot be reached externally. This portion of the session is always optional and may be especially helpful for jaw clenching, grinding, facial tension, and headaches that originate in the jaw.

After intraoral work, the Eco-Fin is removed and the arms and hands are massaged, helping integrate the session before transitioning into cooling techniques.

Cold facial tools (gua sha) are used next to calm the tissues after warming and deeper release, supporting nervous system regulation, reducing heat or redness, and encouraging lymphatic drainage.

The session concludes with scalp work using hands and warm bamboo tools, followed by a hot oil pour for the scalp, hot towels infused with your choice of essential oil applied to the face, and a gentle hot towel neck stretch, allowing the body to fully settle and absorb the work.
