Release the jaw • Relax the whole body
Do you hold tension in your jaw without realising? Wake up with headaches, facial tightness, or sore teeth from clenching or grinding? Jaw tension is often a sign of deeper stress patterns held throughout the body — and true relief begins by addressing the whole system.
TMJ – Jaw Relief Massage is a deeply restorative treatment designed to gently unwind tension held in the jaw, face, neck, and body, while calming the nervous system and encouraging long-lasting relaxation.
A Whole-Body Approach to Jaw Tension
Jaw discomfort is rarely isolated. Tension in the hips, lower back, shoulders, and neck can contribute to clenching and restricted jaw movement. This treatment begins by releasing deep-seated tension in the glutes, helping the body feel grounded and supported. From there, the massage works upwards to unwind the back, shoulders, and neck using targeted pressure point techniques and therapeutic touch.
As the body softens, the nervous system begins to settle — allowing the jaw to naturally release without force.
Targeted TMJ & Facial Work
The session includes focused facial and jaw work, using gentle external and internal pressure techniques to ease tight muscles around the jaw joint, cheeks, and temples. This careful approach helps reduce discomfort associated with TMJ dysfunction, clenching, grinding (bruxism), and tension-related headaches, while promoting a sense of ease and lightness through the face.
All techniques are applied with clear communication, care, and respect, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and at ease throughout the treatment.

About me
I’ve come to appreciate the uniqueness of each individual. No two bodies are alike, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why I reject the notion of massaging by numbers. My philosophy? Never rush. I take the time to understand you, your body, and your specific needs. It’s not just about physical touch; it’s about connecting with your energy, listening to your muscles, and intuitively healing. Let’s embark on a journey of holistic well-being together.
