magic hands

Currently, there's much discussion surrounding the efficacy of touch and hands-on therapies compared to mechanical interventions.

Reflecting on my background, I've always been deeply immersed in the world of creation and craftsmanship. From painting and crafting to woodworking and gardening, creativity has been a constant in my life. I've exhibited my work both independently and collaboratively, defining myself as an artist and creator.

Despite not having the most aesthetically pleasing hands, they boast exceptional functionality and dexterity. Transitioning into Buccal/Facial massage therapy felt like a seamless progression.  With over a decade of experience as a Pilates Instructor, my familiarity with the human body facilitated the transition. Sensing and alleviating tension and trauma in a new domain felt intuitive.

The tactile sensitivity of my fingertips allows me to perceive and manipulate tissues in ways machines cannot emulate. Working on the face is a canvas for me to explore, offering a profound opportunity to positively impact individuals suffering from stress, trauma, TMJ and more. Beyond enhancing facial expressions and softening lines, techniques like GuaSha also sculpt and rejuvenate the tissues and tap into my artistic sensibilities. Qi Beauty, in particular, resonates deeply with me offering remarkable results that blur the line between artistry and therapy.
