In advanced buccal work, the missing link isn’t more technique: It’s somatic intelligence combined with an anatomically informed touch.
Lasting change happens only when tissue work and nervous system regulation are addressed together.
Somatic-Myofascial Sequencing is built on this principle.
Somatic-Myofascial Buccal Sequencing goes far beyond surface technique. It teaches you how to deliver an informed, anatomy-led touch that is both structurally precise and somatically supportive.
You’ll work with facial clinical anatomy and somatic co-regulation, using a truly client-centred approach that recognises the equal importance of nervous system state and soft-tissue organisation.
Every step of the protocol is intentionally designed to support both systems simultaneously creating deeper integration, a more powerful and lasting ease as well as a genuinely transformative client experience.
TESTIMONIAL
"Fiona’s mastery of anatomical facial studies and her well-structured approach to somatic buccal massage education gave me a deeper understanding and greater confidence in my own face-lifting facial protocol."
