Buccal Facial Massage:
Your Face Has Been Waiting for You
Your face holds stories the same way your body does.
Every emotion you’ve swallowed, every word left unsaid, every held breath — it all lives in the fascia and muscles of your face. When we release what’s been held, faces don’t just relax. They transform.
What Is Buccal Facial Massage?
Buccal facial massage works both inside and outside the mouth to reach deeper facial muscles and fascia that regular facial massage can’t access.
Trained and certified in the Joanna Tringali Method in New York, I use gloved hands to work the interior oral cavity — the cheeks, jawline, and structure that have been holding tension you didn’t know was there.
This is where the real change happens.

Why Your Face Needs Fascia Work
Think of facial fascia like a sweater that's been bunched up in spots for years. No amount of smoothing the outside will fix what's happening underneath. Myofascial release addresses the actual structure - releasing adhesions, rehydrating tissue, and allowing your muscles to finally return to their natural resting position.
When we release these chronic holding patterns, faces literally reshape. Jawlines emerge. Cheekbones reappear. Asymmetries soften. That tight, held quality gives way to something more open, more alive, more you.

Why this Work is Different
Fascia holds patterns your body has learned to protect. Surface work touches the symptom, not the source.
Release chronic holding patterns
Facial fascia is like a sweater that’s been bunched for years. Surface work can’t fix what’s happening underneath.
Support structural balance
Myofascial release restores the natural resting position of your facial muscles. Jawlines reappear. Cheekbones lift. Asymmetry softens.
Ease pain and tension
Migraines, TMJ, clenching, and stress patterns often dissolve as fascia rehydrates and reorganizes.
What I’ve Seen This Work Do
I’ve worked with clients after mini-strokes who regained tongue mobility they thought was gone. Chronic TMJ pain has eased. Headaches and migraines become less frequent or disappear completely and also, a restructuring of the face, almost as if they had a facelift.
This isn’t magic. This is what happens when we address the actual tissue holding the patterns.
What sessions feel like
Gentle, deep work that unwinds long-held tension
Fascinating awareness of where you’ve been holding stress
Results that build as the tissue reorganizes
A nervous system that learns a new pattern of ease
Adaptable sessions: intraoral work when appropriate, surface work when preferred
Why I'm So Passionate About This Work
As an Energy Alchemist, I'm able to clear energetic patterns that might be preventing you from feeling as much relief and transformation as possible. The physical work opens the door; the energetic work helps you walk through it. For more information on how energy alchemy enhances this work, visit the Energy Alchemy page.
This work is deep. Some areas may be tender as we work through restrictions, but most clients find it fascinating - almost revelatory - to discover where they've been holding tension they didn't even know existed. Results build over sessions as your tissue reorganizes and your nervous system learns new patterns of ease.
