Why Facial Acupressure?

Facial Acupressure is more than a collection of points or movements. The technique is designed to create a calming yet revitalizing experience through intentional fingertip touch.

Using precise placement and gentle pressure, estheticians can often create a surprisingly deep response without relying on force or repetitive movement. Many students find the technique helps them work with greater ease while creating treatments that feel more intentional and restorative for the client.

When I first began performing Facial Acupressure regularly nearly 40 years ago, clients often described their skin as feeling energized and revitalized. Some even shared that friends and colleagues commented on how healthy and refreshed they looked, asking if they had been on vacation or were doing something differently.

Clients frequently describe the experience as deeply relaxing, grounding, and renewing, making Facial Acupressure a meaningful addition to modern facial treatments.

Rachel Brandis - Luminous Skin Studio, CA

I am so happy to be learning this technique as I am exploring our energies and it fascinates me.   I have made a goal to get this class finished and even lined up a model to practice on. I also purchased the scalp massage course which I think will be a great skill to have.   Again, thank you. Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge, but also your love for the power of touch. I feel blessed to be able to study under you and learn from you.

What a wonderful course!!!

Bethany Boyd, Perfectly Polished LLC, Arizona

What a wonderful course!!! I had a friend come in yesterday so I could practice on her .... she's very high strung and afterwards, I did 2 passes on her, she said that was the most relaxed she'd been in weeks! I followed along with your video.... I'm going to sign up for the scalp massage next!!!

Thank you for making your facial acupressure course available online! You did a great job with explaining all, providing the written materials and the visuals. I originally took this class many years ago and have incorporated acupressure into every facial. Clients love it and actually I also reap the benefits while performing it. Your course reminded me of the exact order and another tip I had forgotten over the years. I immediately followed the recommended format and noticed a difference. My clients have been highly complimentary! I can’t wait to take more of your classes!
