there’s nothing wrong with your face.
But it makes sense if you’ve felt like there is.
We’ve been sold a million “fixes” for something that was never broken — Just (purposefully) disconnected.
you’re not wrong to feel that way.
This course doesn’t fix, tweak, or glamorize.
It helps you feel yourself, through the structures that shape you.
You don’t need more products. You need rhythm.
Structure. Repatterning. Clarity.
That’s what this course offers: through the fascia, the lymph, the nervous system.
Through the face, but never just about the face.
“I went through this course because I wanted to learn how to gua sha at home (Chryssa is an amazing teacher!) and I’m shocked at how the course has opened up my eyes to so much more.”
foundations teaches you to work with your face in a way that is:
Rooted in rhythm, not shoulds
Supportive of your nervous system, not at war with it
Aligned with who you are, not who you’ve been told to be
Gua sha is important, don’t get me wrong.
But what is a tool without the structure that holds it?
Your fascia. Your lymph. Your stories.
The way you breathe, touch, and witness yourself: day after day.
This isn’t a beauty course. It’s an embodiment course (in disguise… because yes, you’ll also learn how to actually use facial tools).
So yes, you’ll walk away with practical skills. But you’ll also come out the other side with a deeper connection to your body, your expression, and your sense of self.
This is what it looks like to engage with your face without abandoning yourself.
most face-focused courses center beauty, anti-aging, or flawless skin.
This one doesn’t.
This course isn’t about sculpting your face to meet someone else’s standard.
It’s about reclaiming the structure beneath it through your rhythm, your breath and your body’s own intelligence.
You don’t need to perform youth or perfection, but you do deserve to feel like yourself in your own skin.
The Transformation is Deep
This course is made up of 5 elemental chapters, each one grounded in a part of your face, your body, your story.
You’ll get short, clear video teachings for each element and detailed demos of how to work with your own face using gua sha, facial massage, and structural touch.
These aren’t spa techniques.
They’re invitations to come home to yourself.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll move through.
the structure
is simple
chapter 1: introduction to the face as a portal
Your face isn’t separate from your story; it is the story.
In this opening chapter, we explore how your face holds tension, truth, and the survival patterns shaped by patriarchy.
We’ll ground in the five-element framework and begin to reframe your face as a site of return, not repair.
chapter 2: the ground you stand on
We start with the neck because it is the foundation to your face.
The Earth element teaches us that true support is cyclical, not static.
You’ll learn how neck work impacts lymph, circulation, and emotional stability, and why maintenance is sacred, not superficial.
chapter 3: the power of what you are
Fire lives in the eyes: your most expressive, and most masked, feature.
This chapter explores visibility, performance, and what it means to actually be seen.
You’ll reclaim the spark behind your gaze, without dimming or performing for anyone.
chapter 4: living your truth
Metal holds the cheeks and the stories etched into them.
Here, we work with refinement: not erasing, but distilling what’s real.
This chapter reconnects you to breath, structure, and the sacred material of your own body.
chapter 5: listening to what you know
The jaw holds intuition, tension, and restraint.
Wood asks: What have you been clenching down on?
We’ll explore how to soften control without collapsing, and how to hear what your body’s been trying to say.
chapter 6: where you begin again
Your forehead holds loops: thoughts, fears, inherited patterns.
Water reminds you that rest is intelligence.
This chapter helps you slow down the mind and root back into the wisdom of your lineages.
chapter 7: the full facial flow
This is your full-body ritual, expressed through your face.
You’ll integrate each element through a guided facial sequence—one that restores rhythm, clarity, and connection.
It’s not a routine. It’s a return.
You don’t need to fix your face the patriarchal way.
You get to meet yourself through embodiment: slowly, gently, and with depth, starting now.
this isn’t about looking more perfect.
it’s about feeling more like you.
is this for me?
-
This course is for anyone who’s ever felt disconnected from their face, and wants a path back that isn’t about perfection or performance.
It’s for women (and women-aligned folks) who are done with self-improvement and ready for self-return. It’s for practitioners, seekers, caretakers, creatives, and anyone longing for rhythm, not rules.
-
Nope!
If you have a face and a willingness to connect with it, you’re ready. This course is designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you’ve been using gua sha for years or are brand new to the practice.
-
Both.
You’ll get clear, instructional video demos of facial exercises and gua sha techniques, alongside deeper context for why they matter, how they work, and what they connect you back to.
This isn’t a beauty tutorial. It’s a structural, embodied reclamation.
-
7 robust chapters
Instructional video teachings for each facial area + theme
A framework that ties facial anatomy to feminist theory, matriarchal rhythms, and embodied repair
A full facial flow you can return to again and again
-
There are no refunds for this course.
Not because we don’t care, but because this is a digital offering you receive in full the moment you enroll.
We believe in the value of what’s inside, and we encourage you to read through the course layout above and trust your body’s “yes” before purchasing.
-
We get it. $399 can feel like a lot, especially when it comes to something as intangible as a digital course.
But this course isn’t about buying the next product. It’s about investing in a rhythm that lets you see your face as part of your self, not as a problem to fix.
