Tight jaw
A sense of gripping, clenching, or tension that keeps returning in the jaw.
I work with the face through a holistic approach that also considers the neck, posture, breathing, jaw and tension throughout the body.
Faceplasty can help if you notice tension, asymmetry, facial fatigue or tightness in the body.
A sense of gripping, clenching, or tension that keeps returning in the jaw.
Stiffness in the neck, lifted shoulders, or difficulty letting the upper body truly soften.
Breathing feels high or restricted, the chest stays closed, and the body does not fully settle.
A feeling of collapse, holding, or a body that stays braced without real support.
The face looks more tense, more closed, or more tired than it used to.
A feeling of heaviness, fullness, or visible puffiness in the face.
One side seems to work more than the other, or some areas feel less free and less mobile.
Night-time clenching, morning tension, or a jaw that tires quickly through the day.
I do not see the face separately from the body.
Tension in the neck, head position, breathing, chest, diaphragm and posture can all affect the face, facial expressions and overall wellbeing.
During a session, I consider not only the face, but the body as a whole.
My goal is to help the body feel more freedom, softness and ease.
The face is connected to the whole body.
If there is tension in the neck, jaw, chest, breathing or posture, it can affect the face.
That is why working only on the face often creates only temporary results.
The approach always stays gentle, progressive, and adapted to your body.
We begin with a calm conversation about how you are feeling, your tension patterns, your posture, and what brings you in.
I observe how the body is organised, how it breathes, and where tension is being held before the hands-on work begins.
Depending on your needs, the session may include the face, jaw, neck, chest, and other connected areas of the body.
If helpful, I offer simple guidance so you can notice what is changing and understand what may support you next.

Simple answers to help you understand the approach, the sessions in Paris, and the next step before booking.
Faceplasty is a registered method and a distinct practice in which the face is approached in connection with the jaw, neck, breathing, posture, and the body as a whole. If you would like to understand the logic behind it in more depth, you can start with the blog.
One session lasts 90 minutes. That allows enough time for observation, hands-on work, and a calm conversation about what you are feeling.
It depends on your needs, your body, and the rhythm that feels right for you. Some people begin with one session and then decide from there. You can look at the prices before booking.
In most cases, it does not make sense to isolate the face. Tension in the jaw, neck, chest, breathing, or posture can show on the face, which is why the work stays holistic.
Often yes, especially if there is lingering jaw tension, a change in breathing habits, or a feeling of tightness in the face and neck after braces. If you are unsure, you can ask in advance through the contact form.
Yes, Faceplasty is often combined with osteopathy and other gentle body-based approaches. The important thing is to keep the rhythm comfortable for your body.
If you have an acute condition, pain, inflammation, a recent procedure, or any medical restriction, it is best to check first whether a session is appropriate at this time. If in doubt, please write through the contact page.
