your face reflects what's happening beneath the surface
from the tension held in your head, neck and shoulders to the way you breathe, move and carry yourself
The FaceUp Method™
holistic facial sculpting technique that works far beyond the skin
what is the FaceUp Method™?
Created by Olga Newman after years of clinical practice and research, the FaceUp Method™ is a holistic facial sculpting technique that works far beyond the skin.
Rather than masking the signs of ageing, it focuses on releasing the tension patterns held within the face, jaw, neck and surrounding tissues that can influence how we look and how we feel.
combining facial sculpting, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, buccal massage and somatic bodywork, the FaceUp Method™ supports the body's natural structure.
As tension softens and fluid movement is supported, the face appears brighter, more rested and more defined.
why facial tension matters
the face is deeply connected to the rest of the body.
the way we hold stress, our posture, our breathing patterns and our daily habits can all influence the muscles and tissues of the face.
Over time, tension can become something we carry without even realising it - showing up as:
a clenched jaw
tight temples
heaviness in the face
tension around the eyes
changes in facial expression
feeling like your outer appearance no longer reflects how you feel inside
by working with these patterns, facial sculpting can help the face feel softer, move more freely and express itself with greater ease.
how it works
Each session begins with a conversation about what you’re noticing in your face and body - such as jaw tension, headaches, puffiness, restricted movement or areas that feel tight or overworked.
We then look beyond the face, paying attention to your breathing, posture and everyday movement habits that may be contributing to how you hold tension.
The hands-on treatment may include work with the face, scalp, jaw, neck and surrounding tissues, alongside facial sculpting, myofascial techniques, lymphatic drainage and intraoral buccal massage.
The session is not only about what changes in the mirror. You’ll also have time to notice how your face feels, how freely it moves and what feels different within your body.
the Casa Baba approach
at Casa Baba, the FaceUp Method™ is thoughtfully integrated with my broader understanding of the body, fascia and nervous system
Drawing on my background in Biofield Tuning and my studies in functional breathing, anatomy and nervous system regulation, I tailor each session to the individual patterns you may be carrying.
A session may begin with the gentle use of weighted tuning forks to help you slow down, bring your awareness inward and settle before the facial work begins.
by creating space for the body to soften first, we allow the face to release and respond more naturally.
“i believe that when the body softens first, the face can follow”
natural facelift alternative

release tension
your face reflects the way your body holds tension, your posture and the patterns you repeat every day
look beyond the surface
instead of focusing only on what is visible, we consider the tension and everyday habits that may be contributing to what you see and feel
support natural change
by working with your body’s structure and natural capacity for movement, the FaceUp Method™ supports change that feels gradual, individual and authentic to you
