Face Lift & Sculpt Mastery

A comprehensive training in myofascial release, muscle reeducation, and nervous system integration.

This full-day certification course is designed for licensed estheticians and holistic practitioners who want to master the art and science of facial lifting.
You’ll learn how to reeducate the muscles of expression, release fascial tension, and integrate nervous system regulation into every movement—so your facials deliver results that are both visible and deeply restorative.

  • Read facial patterns, tension, and asymmetry to tailor each session to your client’s needs

  • Integrate fascia release, lymphatic drainage, and sculpting techniques seamlessly

Why It Matters

Fast facials might create a glow, but they rarely change the deeper structures that shape the face—or the nervous system patterns that hold tension in place. When you slow down and work with fascia, muscle tone, and flow, you create lasting transformation that your clients can both see and feel.

This class helps you:

  • Build trust and safety through intentional, anatomy-led touch

  • Achieve more lift with less effort

  • Refine contour, tone, and balance through fascia-aware sculpting

  • Deliver facials that clients remember for how they felt, not just how they looked

How It Fits Into Your Training Path

This advanced certification can be taken on its own or as the next step after Reclaim the Art of Touch. Each course expands your mastery of fascia mapping, anatomy, and nervous-system-led touch.

From here, continue your training with:

  • Buccal Massage Training

  • Lymphatic Drainage, Gua Sha & Cupping

(No prerequisites required.)

  • “I thought I knew facial massage—until this class. The Sculpt & Lift training completely changed how I see and feel the face. Joann’s guidance helped me understand muscle tone and fascia on a deeper level, and now my clients say their faces feel lighter, lifted, and more alive. This course gave me back my confidence as a practitioner.”

    Emily R, Licensed Esthetician

  • “What stood out most was how nervous-system focused Joann’s approach is. The entire day felt like an immersion in presence and anatomy. My results improved immediately, but so did my energy levels. I’m not exhausted after facials anymore. It’s the kind of education our industry has been missing.”

    Renee M., Holistic Skin Therapist

  • “The Sculpt Mastery course helped me elevate my business. Clients now book my ‘Sculpted Lift Facial’ weeks in advance, and I’ve doubled my facial income without adding any machines. Joann’s method taught me how to work smarter, slower, and with purpose. Worth every penny.”

    Bavana L., Spa Owner

Inside the Course

The curriculum is designed to build skill layer by layer — blending advanced anatomy with embodied practice.

  • Learn to understand the anatomy, fascia, and energetic systems that shape the face.

    You’ll explore the evolution of lifting through touch—from ancient methods to modern fascia science—and practice foundational sculptural principles that combine art, anatomy, and awareness.

  • Dive into the muscles, fascia, and fat pads that define contour and emotion.

    You’ll learn precise mapping for symmetry, assess posture and tension, and understand how facial expressions influence both structure and energy flow.

  • Master your pre-treatment ritual.
    This module teaches how to prepare the body, space, and nervous system for sculptural work through lymphatic activation, fascia hydration, and presence-based touch.

    You’ll also learn intake, contraindications, and emotional readiness to create true safety in the system.

  • The core of the course. You’ll practice the full Sculptural Facial Massage—from lymph flow to deep muscle lift—through guided sequences, drills, and real-time instructor feedback.

    Each phase blends fascia work, breath synchronization, and pressure precision to retrain muscle memory and awaken structure.

  • Integration is what transforms technique into art.

    Here, you’ll learn how to create personalized sculptural experiences for different face types and nervous systems, incorporating Ayurveda, rhythm, and intuitive flow.

    You’ll leave with your own cohesive sculptural ritual ready to bring into your practice.
