Hi, I'm Joanna!


I train massage therapists, estheticians, and acupuncturists to deliver results-based buccal massage and facial work using a method that integrates:

  • Myofascial release

  • Intraoral (buccal) techniques

  • Lymphatic drainage

  • Gua sha

Not as a routine…taught in a way that helps you understand what you’re feeling and how to respond to it—rather than follow a set of steps.

Because the face doesn’t need more choreography.

It needs assessment, intention, and precision.

 

When applied strategically, this work can:

  • Reduce chronic tension patterns in the jaw, head, and neck (often tied to TMJD and headaches)

  • Improve how clients feel—not just how they look

  • Influence whole-body patterns through fascial connections

  • Create visible lift, contour, and skin vitality—without aggressive or artificial methods

You're learning from someone who still does the work...

Most educators don’t work with clients anymore.
I do.

I’ve been in practice in New York City for over three decades, working hands-on with clients whose faces are part of their livelihood—actors, performers, and professionals who expect real results.

I’m a licensed massage therapist and esthetician, and an NCBTMB-approved educator. My work has been featured in publications like Elle Magazine.

What I teach isn’t theoretical, trendy, or outdated.


It’s what actually works—day after day, on real clients.

Joanna’s approach to buccal massage has been recognized for its ability to release tension patterns held in the face—supporting both how clients feel and how they look..

Joanna is a very knowledgeable and supportive instructor. Working with her has helped my hands on and business skills improve. She is dedicated to her craft and loves to share it with other professionals. Highly recommend her classes!

Joanna Tringali is a true professional. She is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to her craft. I particularly appreciated that she was mostly concerned with teaching me how to understand and think about the concepts.

The facial I had here was done very well and Joanna gives recommendations based on a holistic perspective. 

Crystal Y.

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...
