I am a licensed massage therapist with focused training in buccal (intraoral) massage and facial myofascial release. My work emphasizes clinical hygiene, patient comfort, and precise techniques that complement dental care environments.

All sessions are performed using medical-grade gloves, clear consent practices, and a calm, professional approach aligned with dental standards.

Buccal Massage

Buccal massage is a hands-on technique that addresses the muscles of mastication from both inside and outside the oral cavity. These muscles play a central role in jaw movement, clenching patterns, and facial tension.

Because many of these muscles cannot be accessed externally, intraoral work allows for targeted release that often produces immediate changes in comfort and mobility.

This service may be beneficial for individuals who:

Clench or grind their teeth
Experience jaw fatigue or facial tension
Have TMJ-related discomfort (non-diagnostic)
Feel stress held in the jaw or face
Experience dental-related anxiety

Patients commonly experience:

Reduced jaw tension and clenching
Improved jaw mobility and ease of opening
Relief from facial tightness and headaches
Decreased stress held in the jaw and face
Improved circulation to facial tissues
A calming effect on the nervous system

Results vary by individual, but many clients notice changes after a single session.

What to Expect

One-on-one, session-based service
Medical-grade gloves and sanitation protocols
Gentle, communicative intraoral techniques
Focus on comfort, consent, and patient feedback

Booking

Sessions are offered individually and may be booked directly or arranged through participating dental offices.
