1:1 Face Tape + Facial Mapping Consultation
Unavailable
This 30 minute 1:1 consultation is an intimate, personalized offering designed to support your unique facial structure, daily rhythms, and lived experience.
Your body holds deep and profound wisdom. In this session, we slow down and listen to what your face is communicating, creating space for both practical change and deeper awareness.
We will discuss your goals, your lifestyle, and what is truly realistic and sustainable for you. From there, I’ll create a customized plan that includes tailored face taping applications alongside facial massage and sculpting techniques to help you get the most benefit from your practice. The method I share is informed by anatomical study, hands-on experience, and deep listening—grounded in physiology and emotional anatomy, and offered as a simple, accessible approach for cultivating softness, resilience, and long-term facial health.
You will receive an email with instructions after booking. I am available for in-person or remote sessions.
WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY FACE TAPING?
Face taping is a daily practice using gentle kinesiology tape to support the muscles and fascia of the face. By lightly lifting the skin, it encourages circulation and lymphatic flow, helping muscles relax and the skin appear smoother and more balanced over time. We created an online Kinesiology Face Taping Course so you can confidently learn to tape yourself. Inside, you’ll learn 15 techniques covering all areas of the face and neck to support your ongoing practice. You can learn more here.
WHAT IS FACIAL MAPPING?
Facial mapping is a personalized method of assessing your unique facial structure to understand how your muscles function and hold tension. This allows me to recommend targeted taping applications, facial massage techniques, and exercises that best support your goals and create balanced, lasting results.
ABOUT EMILEE
I am an herbalist, co-founder of GARA Skincare, and a certified Sculptural Face Lifting practitioner. In working hands-on with clients, I’ve witnessed how the face carries our stories—how tension, structure, habitual expression, and emotional patterns shape both appearance and function. Guided by these observations, I sought a gentle, non-invasive way to support muscle tone, tissue hydration, lymphatic flow, and overall skin vitality. This led me to Sculptural Face Lifting and Kinesiology Face Taping.
I offer Sculptural Face Lifting treatments at our private sanctuary in Ojai and have recently launched an online Kinesiology Face Taping Course. You can book a private SFL session or explore the course to continue your practice at home. When I’m not formulating products for GARA, you’ll find me in the garden—tending plants, listening closely, and learning from their quiet wisdom.

How does face taping impact the skin and soften wrinkles?
Face taping works in two primary ways. First, it gently lifts and separates the layers of the skin, improving blood flow, supporting collagen production, and hydrating the superficial fascia. This subtle lift helps improve overall skin tone and function.
Second, the tape is applied in the direction of the muscle fibers, encouraging tight, overused muscles to relax and lengthen. Over time, repetitive facial movements can cause muscles to shorten, leading the skin—especially as elasticity decreases—to fold over them. By relaxing and elongating these muscles, the skin is able to lay more smoothly, supporting proper muscle function and resulting in firmer, more balanced, and more toned skin.
