Face-Lifting Massage with Ariela Grodner
Ayurvedic And Thai Massage Applications
September 12, 2027

 

Join us for a day devoted to the art of face and neck massage. We’ll cover marma point therapy, Ayurvedic face oils, facial cupping, Gua Sha, lymphatic drainage, and the lifting techniques that bring brightness and radiance to the face. This work is deeply stress-reducing for the whole body — it’s become one of my favorite ways to help people unwind.

Face-Lifting Massage is a series of specialized techniques designed to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and restore a more youthful, radiant appearance. The treatment begins with gentle lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and inflammation, then moves into therapeutic tools — facial cupping, Gua Sha, and the Kansa wand — paired with expert hands-on massage using the fingers, forearms, and heels of the hands to release tension and lift and sculpt the lower, middle, and upper face.

We carry stress and emotion in our facial muscles, often reflecting what we experience in daily life. When that tension is released through skillful, nurturing touch, the benefits extend well beyond the face — encouraging relaxation and balance throughout the entire body. Face-Lifting Massage suits people of all ages and skin types, whether your goal is healthy aging, a more natural glow, or simply deep relaxation. It offers the perfect blend of therapeutic care and luxurious pampering.

In this weekend workshop, you’ll learn to give a complete one-hour face-lifting treatment.

Ariela Grodner is the founder, lead instructor, and practitioner at the Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage. She has developed over 300 hours of curriculum, published nine books on the subject, and travels nationally and internationally sharing her love of this art.

Her teaching path began in 1992 in southern India, where she taught prisoners and tribal villagers the practice and benefits of Sivananda Yoga. She went on to spend many years cultivating the Buddhist meditation technique of Vipassana, and later, following her own Tao, discovered the joys of improvisational contact dance.

After graduating from the Florida School of Massage, she found in Thai Massage a perfect fusion of these disciplines. She is a certified Lotus Palm Practitioner (as taught by Kam Thye Chow) and has taught Thai Massage at the Florida School of Massage since 2004.
