Facial Massage Courses
by Joanna Tringali, Facial Massage Therapist and Holistic Esthetician
Hi, I'm Joanna!
I'm Joanna Tringali, and I help estheticians, massage therapists and acupuncturists learn to confidently apply Facial Massage to effectively release the tension and stress held in the facial muscles and fascia, which affects whole body wellness and esthetics.
My methods are a combination of myofascial release, intra-oral work (commonly known as buccal massage), lymphatic drainage and gua sha.
These methods, when strategically used can;
-ease the discomforts of the head, jaw and neck which are implicated in conditions like TMJD, various types of headaches, even vision, hearing a voice distortions
-provide deep relaxation and restoration by releasing emotions and trauma that are trapped in the facial muscles
-release deeply held tension throughout the entire body because of the paths of fascia from face to feet
- provide esthetically pleasing yet all natural results by lifting weak tissues, sculpting facial contours stimulating lymph and blood circulation for glowing, healthy skin.
I'm a 35 year massage therapist, 16 year esthetician and 18 year massage instructor with a successful Facial Massage practice in NYC focusing on a wide range of clients, including actors, singers, performers, models and others who want to look and feel better with natural, non-invasive methods.
My classes are specifically geared to professionals who want to understand how to help the growing number of clients who are in need of results-based, professional facial massage.

My experience with Joanna was the best and exactly what I needed. I had a specific request to focus on the Gua Sha technique and she was able to answer all my questions about it...
