Hi, I'm Joanna!
I'm Joanna Tringali, and I teach estheticians, massage therapists and acupuncturists to confidently apply Buccal Massage to effectively lift and sculpt their clients faces with their hands and gua sha stone.
I'm a 34 year massage therapist, 15 year esthetician and 17 year massage instructor who's specialty is Buccal Massage.
Ready to learn Buccal Face Lifting Massage? Then you're in the right place.
Why You'll Want to Learn
Buccal Massage
Buccal massage has exploded in popularity because of its lifting, sculpting and glow increasing effect on the face that looks completely natural and has no ill effects.
It's been covered extensively in the media, touted by beauty editors, influencers and celebrities because of its glowing results that rival a surgical face lift, without the pain, expense and unnatural pulled-tight look.
And YOUR clients are looking for it. They see it on social media and YouTube every day, and many tell me they can't find a practitioner in their area.
You can be the one to fill this need while reaping rich career rewards!
