Sculptural Face & Buccal Massage

Holistic Facial, Jaw & Nervous System Therapy

We hold so much in our face—our expression, emotion, our story. Yet it’s rarely an area that gets intentional work as more than an afterthought. The face contains dozens of muscle groups, a complex lymphatic network, and a direct connection to the nervous system. These highly specialized Neolifting treatments address all of it, methodically and with great care.

Working both externally and inside the mouth, each session addresses the face not just as a surface, but as a living system, awakening areas that may be dormant, releasing deep muscular and fascial tension and creating a shift that moves from the inside out. We see improved facial posture, skin health, increased circulation and oxygen supply, deeper muscle awareness, and a visible radiance.

This is where the beauty world and nervous system bodywork meet. This is pro-aging care at its most intentional. This is not a quick fix, but holistic, noninvasive, deeply restorative and cumulative work. Each session builds on the last, creating transformation that is often felt not just in the face but throughout the whole body. If we are seeing these shifts on the outside, imagine what’s shifting within.

What to Expect During your Session

Sculptural Face Massage (75 Min):
Experience the full Neolifting protocol. You’ll undress from the chest up and lie comfortably on the table, fully draped. We begin with breathwork and lymphatic drainage before moving into myofascial, neuromuscular, and nervous system practices to release tension, sculpting and lifting the face from within. I’ll then put gloves on for the buccal intraoral portion of the treatment, finishing with a deeply relaxing scalp and head massage. The entire session is focused on the face, jaw, neck and upper décolleté.

Sculptural Face Ritual (90 Min):
This longer session creates additional space to explore and address your body’s unique needs. We begin with craniosacral therapy and myofascial techniques, to release tension in the neck, shoulders, face and jaw. We then move into the full Neolifting protocol, including the intraoral buccal work, followed by lymphatic support and targeted cranial or neck work to help flush and integrate what’s been released. Every session is tailored to you, and while the focus is on the face, jaw, and neck, clients often experience shifts throughout the entire body.

Scupltural Face Massage sessions are available at my peaceful downtown Santa Barbara studio. These sessions are also a wonderful treatment for those receiving injectables but please wait at least 5 weeks after receiving Botox etc. or lip filler. If you have any facial filler, I recommend waiting 18 months before this treatment as we don’t want to move it around in your face. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

     Sessions are customized to your tissue, nervous system, and goals

  • Recommended Frequency for Optimal Results: The changes you will begin to see on the outside are a reflection of what’s shifting internally. For clients seeking visible facial lift, sculpting, and nervous system integration, it’s highly recommended to start with a series of 4-6 weekly sessions. After completing a series, most clients move into a maintenance phase of every other week for a month or two, followed by monthly sessions as needed.

    Single Sessions are also beautiful and restorative treatments. Longer sessions offer more cranial, lymphatic and integrative massage work, which can help clear the system, release tension, and support nervous system balance.

  • While many people benefit from this specialized treatment, it isn’t recommended for everyone. If Neolifting isn’t the right fit for you please reach out and we can discuss other supportive treatments.
