One of the biggest mistakes I see in treatment rooms is distraction.⁠

Small talk.⁠

Gossip.⁠

Thinking about the next client.⁠
Thinking about lunch.⁠

Instead, my attention is squarely on the client.⁠

I listen carefully and ask clarifying questions, so I understand the real concern. That clarity allows me to design a treatment plan — not just for that day, but often for a series of sessions.⁠

When you truly understand the problem, your work becomes more efficient and more effective.⁠

And clients feel the difference.⁠

When your attention is fully on the client and you design treatments with clarity, the results you achieve are more precise and lasting.⁠

What does “work smarter, not harder” actually mean in massage and esthetics?⁠

When you work smarter — focusing on client needs, boundaries, and protecting your body — the results you create for your clients can be more effective and lasting.⁠

Comment LASTING below if you’d like to learn more.⁠

In our field, working harder usually means longer hours, more clients, and eventually burnout.⁠

Working smarter means something different.⁠

It means structuring your practice so you can do excellent work without running yourself into the ground.⁠

For me, that comes down to three things:⁠
• Deep focus on the client’s real concern⁠
• Clear professional boundaries⁠
• Protecting my body so I can keep doing the work⁠
I’ve been in practice 36+ years, and these principles are a big reason I’m still going strong.⁠

1. There’s a cultural shift is happening NOW — and your ideal clients are already looking for you⁠

- There's a real backlash building against the ""done"" look — overfilled faces, frozen foreheads, that overdone vibe that's actually aging people⁠

- My celebrity clients are flocking to me for this exact reason — they want results without looking like they had work done⁠

- And here's the thing: when celebrities go for something, the general public follows — they want what celebrities have. This wave is coming YOUR way.⁠

2. Skilled hands can do what injectables can't⁠

- My method of Myofascial release and lymphatic drainage work WITH the body's natural structure, not against it⁠

- You must address the CAUSE (muscle tension, fascia adhesions, stagnant lymph), not just masking the symptom⁠

- When you work with skills, Results last because you're creating structural change, not temporary inflammation⁠

3. This is your differentiator — and your pricing power⁠

- While everyone else is recommending Botox or staying quiet, YOU are the expert who solves the problem naturally⁠

- You can charge significantly higher rates for work like this — because the results speak for themselves⁠

- You're not competing with injectables — you're offering the smarter alternative⁠

So that's how you get real anti-aging results without the frozen, overdone look that injectables leave behind.⁠


Share this with a massage therapist or esthetician who's ready to stand out and charge what they're worth — because this is how you become the go-to expert in your area.⁠

Despite being popular with NYC celebrities, my method of Buccal Massage and Facial Sculpting with Myofascial Release works for everybody, no matter what state your skin is in.⁠

This is about promoting a healthy lifestyle, wellness, and beauty. It helps reduce pain, it deeply releases tension and chronic patterns of dysfunction, helping the client look and feel their best.⁠

BUT - it’s not just a technique I teach - it’s the business of aesthetics from a facial massage perspective. It’s not about discounts and “packages” that erode your income. ⁠

When your work produces results that clients truly value — and that are lasting — building a profitable practice becomes much easier.⁠
Comment LASTING below if you'd like to learn more.⁠

I’m all for education but it’s not wise to just accumulate endless techniques and certifications - you need solid business and practice management skills to build and maintain a profitable practice. ⁠

Your profit is what keeps you in business. In your personal life, you wouldn’t want to live “paycheck to paycheck” - you’d want some wiggle room. My Mom used to call it “saving for a rainy day”. She was so right!⁠

You can also call it investing back into your business to;⁠
- update your studio ⁠
- have product stock on hand for when your client actually wants it⁠
- upgrade your technology to make booking and payments seamless for your clients and easier for you to manage “the books”⁠
- hire out for the dreaded laundry or cleaning help⁠
- invest in that course to upgrade your skills or attract a new type of client. ⁠

You have choices with profit. Without it, every month is a nail biter.⁠

How would you feel if you ended each month and year in the black while doing facial massage?⁠

To the therapists that told me clients would never pay more than what we've always charged —⁠

I believed you.⁠

I was working most days of the week. My hands were breaking down. My back was shot. I wanted to raise my prices, but everywhere I turned, you all told me the same thing: *clients won't pay it. They'll leave. You'll kill your business.*⁠

So I didn't.⁠

I kept showing up. Kept undercharging. Kept grinding through sessions that left me in pain — because I thought that's just what it took to make it in this field.⁠

But that advice didn't just keep me stuck. It made me feel like *I* was the problem. Like wanting more meant I was greedy. Like if I couldn't handle the grind, I didn't deserve to be here.⁠

So I stayed quiet. I kept my prices low. And I kept destroying my body — because you told me I had to.⁠

But then I stopped listening.⁠

I took the time to build a system — a way of explaining my work to clients and demonstrating results that were real, honest, and undeniable. I raised my prices. And you know what happened?⁠

Demand soared.⁠

I'm booked out 3 months in advance. I charge $325 an hour. I work 3 days a week. No nights. No weekends. I see clients who *appreciate* how my work changes them — who get the natural results they want without the injections, the lasers, the surgeries.⁠

It is possible.⁠

You don't have to work yourself into the ground. You don't have to accept what everyone else is charging just because ""that's how it's always been.""⁠

If you can clearly demonstrate the value of your work — clients will pay for it.⁠

You can earn a good living without working every day.⁠

You just have to be willing to work smart.⁠

And stop listening to people who are stuck in the same cycle they're trying to keep you in.⁠

Is facial massage “fluff”? ⁠

It is if you don’t get results. And too many massage techniques don’t have much ummmphhh. Feels nice, but…⁠

I love relaxation as much as you do, but clients are more convinced to pay when there are specific results, results they can see and feel, and quite frankly, show off.⁠

The result they’ll pay for is transformation. ⁠

The transformation they’ve come to expect from celebrity endorsements is face lifting - high cheeks, sculpted jawline or “V-line”, firm and glowing skin.⁠

When your work produces results that are noticeable and lasting, your confidence grows — and so does your client list.⁠
If you'd like to explore this approach, comment LASTING below. ⁠

Those results cannot be from haphazard application of the same old techniques you see everywhere on the internet. It also is less likely to happen when the same “steps” are applied to every client. Not everyone is the same - clients’ needs vary. So techniques must too.⁠

Admit it - when you get results that wows your client, you feel terrific!⁠

That feeling repeated turns into CONFIDENCE!⁠

And increased confidence attracts more clients…and the ability to be a FULLY BOOKED esthetician or massage therapist.⁠

You can then EARN what you DESERVE, without killing yourself every hour of every day :)⁠

Let me be your guide. I’ll show you what has worked for me, because I want you to have the joy and fulfillment that I have in my career.⁠

Many therapists tell me they’re “slow” this time of year.⁠

If you want to be slow, that’s great. You might want the downtime.⁠

But I’m not talking about that kind of slow.⁠

When your work produces results that clients feel are truly lasting, they come back — and they refer their friends.⁠
If you'd like to explore this approach, comment LASTING below.⁠

I fill my 4 client days per week because I’d rather be “slow” on the days I’m not in the treatment room.⁠

This way I choose my slow time and decide how I want to spend it. ⁠

- Not worried about why my books are empty. ⁠

- Not wondering where the clients are or if they’re coming back.⁠

Not wondering how my bills will be paid this month.⁠

Not wondering if I’ll have enough to keep my practice going ⁠

Not wondering what will happen in the Fall, because after all, it can actually be slow anytime if I don’t have the right strategy.⁠

The right strategy boils down to a focus on getting results that your clients actually want.⁠

You’ll pay a big price if you are just trying to hustle your way to success as an esthetician or massage therapist.⁠

“Hustle culture” has been a thing in the last several years. It grew out of people experiencing a lack of abundance - for whatever reason.⁠

It implies that if you just work harder, you’ll succeed at getting what you want.⁠

If you want to build a career that produces results for clients that are truly lasting, comment LASTING below.⁠

I’ve been a massage therapist and esthetician for decades now, and that doesn’t work with healing professionals like us.⁠

I know - I tried. And failed. And stubbornly tried again and again and again. And failed even harder each time.⁠

This approach resulted in injury and emotional/mental burnout. Which ironically, made me work less, and made me less effective when I did work.⁠

My clients deserve better. I deserve better. You deserve better.⁠

That’s why I teach my students more than just techniques and superficial business concepts. ⁠

Your success and longevity are important to me; I want you to succeed and I’m here to help my students.⁠

There have been a lot of new faces that have been following me lately, and I thought it would be a great idea to re-introduce myself :)⁠

And if you're interested in learning how to create lasting results with buccal massage, comment LASTING as well.⁠

I’m Joanna Tringali and I’m a Buccal massage practitioner and trainer helping my students to learn this fascinating work so they can provide impactful facial massage services to their clients. You may be wondering why my students choose to work with me.⁠

Some are into credentials;⁠
•36-year NY licensed massage therapist⁠
•17-year NY licensed, ITEC certified esthetician⁠
•approved by National Certification (NCB) and NY State to train students in Buccal Massage⁠

Some want what I have created;⁠
•3-day week doing the service I love, Buccal massage⁠
•working with actors, models, executives, performers, and anyone who truly values my work ⁠
•charging a premium rate so I can enjoy both my career and my life and loved ones, without the 6 days per week grind and money worries⁠
•using my creativity and intuition to help my client look and feel their best⁠

Some want to offer the same results I get to their clients and reap the rewards that come with being skilled at Buccal massage. I’m all about the results and want to help you develop the skills you need to help your clients and yourself.⁠

But enough about me, I want to learn more about you! Tell me something about yourself! I promise to respond in the comments.⁠

My method of doing Buccal Massage works because of HOW I do it.⁠

I use it everyday with my celebrity, performer and high level executive clients. ⁠

These are some of the most demanding clients in the world, and without results, they won’t stay.⁠

When you understand how to work with the tissue, the results tend to be more predictable and lasting for your clients.⁠
If you'd like to explore this approach, comment LASTING below.⁠

Because these clients want the benefits of easing tension in the head, jaw and face, with the great side benefit of having lifted, sculpted cheeks and jawlines, they fill my books weeks in advance. ⁠

Its gotten to the point where I have to reserve “secret times” on my booking calendar just to accommodate these clients, who need a weekly appointment for a few weeks to get their situation under control.⁠

Your clients want and deserve the best, too. And I know you like repeat bookings.⁠

So why not learn how? I’d be honored to be your instructor!⁠
