Your face carries
every thing.
Years of clenching, guarding, grief, and stress don't just live in the mind - they live in the jaw, the fascia, the subtle holding patterns of the face. Facework has evolved over time and experience from a deeply personal understanding of what it means to heal from the inside out.
This isn't skincare. It's bodywork for the face - precise, intentional, and rooted in the belief that lasting change happens when tissue releases what it has been protecting.
​
The Philosophy
Fascia & the Face
Connective tissue holds the memory of tension. Release it, and the face begins to soften - structurally and emotionally. Our faces are changed by the effects of stress and jaw tension - we can shift and reverse this with Facework. When we release the connective tissues, they start to function better with increased blood flow and circulation.

The Somatic Thread
Many clients experience emotional release during sessions. This is the work - mind, body, and tissue in conversation. Release can come in many forms - laughing, crying, coughing, sneezing, fidgeting around, yawning - are all signs that the nervous system is shifting and vagal toning is occurring. It's important to be open to and compassionate with yourself during the time after your experience.
The Story Behind the Practice
Ritual Skin+Soul was born in 2018 from a vision and desire to serve women in a nourishing and nurturing way that brings them back to a regulated nervous system. There is a neuroscience field called neuroaesthetics that studies how beauty changes the brain, body and nervous system. Facework is an evolution of the protocols I have intuitively created over the years that have resulted in relief from pain and radiant rejuvenation of the skin, face and soul.
"I built this practice because I needed it to exist - and I think that a lot of people do." -Candice, Founder of Ritual Skin + Soul
