Requirements

Completion of Tsuboki Japanese Face Massage course. This is essential, as many of the new techniques build on ones learned on that course

Description

This course is for students who have completed my previous Tsuboki Japanese Face Massage course. It will allow you to add much more variety to your face massage.

The course is mostly practical, since we covered basic theory last time. As before, it is broken down into modules with me demonstrating, so that you can progress in small stages in your own time. There are also written notes with points to remember for each move.

You will learn additional techniques, some of which are based on those learned in level 1, and some brand new ones, several of which are especially rejuvenating. You will learn the meridians and points on the scalp, extending the meridians over the head. And you will learn a routine I have devised for using rollers on the face, either ridoki or other types, such as jade rollers.

So go ahead, sign up, and I will see you very soon
