Tsuboki Japanese Face Massage
I had the honour of training in Tsuboki® with Anne Parry who developed the system. It involves applying traditional Japanese massage techniques (Anma) to the neck and face and acupressure techniques which concentrate on specific points, or tsubo's, on the face. Although the treatment is done above the shoulder line, it has the effect of giving the client a "full body" treatment because we work on the meridians which run right through the body, passing through important glands and organs, releasing blocked energy (Ki). With regular treatment, the techniques used in this holistic face massage can leave your skin looking toned and healthy as well as giving you the time out you need to reduce those stress levels. I may suggest using aromatherapy to complement this treatment but there will be no extra charge for the use of essential oils.
