Your Customized Facial and Buccal Massage combines manual techniques and Gua Sha to create a deeply transformative experience. This treatment promotes lymphatic drainage, lifting, and sculpting of the face, neck, and jaw, leaving you with radiant, glowing skin.
Service Overview:
1. Holistic Consultation: We begin with a detailed analysis of your concerns, preferences, and goals, discussing any underlying factors that may contribute to muscle tension and skin issues.
2. Initial Relaxation: A soothing massage of the upper back, neck, shoulders, and scalp releases tension and opens drainage pathways, preparing you for deeper facial work.
3. Manual Techniques: We use manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release to target the muscles in your head, face, and neck, easing tension, improving circulation, and enhancing your natural glow.
4. Buccal Massage: Starting externally, the buccal massage progresses to intra-oral work using non-latex gloves, releasing deep-seated tension, sculpting cheekbones, and smoothing the jawline.
5. Lymphatic Drainage: The session concludes with a flowing lymphatic drainage massage, leaving you deeply relaxed with clear, rejuvenated skin.

Christy Linson is a lifelong learner dedicated to exploring how tension and emotion are stored in the body and how they impact our overall health. With a journey spanning over 25 years, she has delved deeply into the root causes of these issues and seeks to find healing methods that offer the greatest benefit with the fewest side effects.
Christyā€™s path began in 1999 on Maui, where she first encountered the transformative effects of intra-oral massage while studying massage and Yoga. She was immediately struck by the difference in how working on just half of the face could lift, soften, and relieve tension, and she has since woven this discovery into her broader practice.
Today, Christy combines her expertise in Yoga, meditation, somatic psychology, nutrition, and bodyworkĀ to create a nurturing and encouraging space for her clients. Her approach is holistic and effective, incorporating breathing practices alongside facial and intra-oral massage to release tension, reduce puffiness, and achieve a natural lift.
Passionate about helping others find balance and well-being, Christyā€™s work is a testament to her dedication to thoughtful and transformative healing practices.
