Who this is for.
And who it isn't.
For you if
You already offer facials and want one treatment that is recognisably yours, rather than another one on the list.
- You already offer facials and they are not being rebooked
- You want one treatment that is yours, not five that are everyone's
- You are starting out and want a signature service from day one
- You would rather charge properly for one treatment than discount three
Not for you if
You want a regulated qualification. This is CPD in my own method, and if you need an awarding body's name on the certificate, the VTCT Level 2 is the honest answer.
- You need an awarding body's name on the certificate
- You want to rename the method and teach it as your own
- You want a broad facial qualification rather than one method
A method is only as good as
where it came from.
Every facial sculpting course is somebody's own method with a trademark on it. Very few tell you who taught the person teaching you. Here is my lineage.
- Trained under
- Yakov Gershkovich
- Trained under
- Sophie Perry, the original training behind FaceGym
- Trained under
- Dominika Dracz-Le Grange
- Also trained in
- Kobido, in London
What you'll learn.
Five things, and they are one treatment rather than five modules. The order matters, because each stage prepares the tissue for the next.
The hands
- Sculpting massage, and the pressure that actually moves tissue
- Muscle lifting and release
- Fascia technique, and why a face holds tension where it does
- Lymphatic drainage, and the difference it makes to puffiness
Why it works
- Nervous system regulation, and why clients fall asleep
- Reading a face before you touch it
- Adapting the sequence to the client in front of you
- What to expect after one treatment, and after six
Selling it
- Pricing a signature treatment rather than a facial
- Positioning it so it is not compared to a cheap facial
- Building a course of treatments clients rebook
- What TrueLift™ treatments typically charge, and why
How it runs.
One day in the clinic, 10:00 to 18:00, with three other people. Or the same method online if the drive is not realistic.
Four is the number, and on a manual technique that is the whole point: pressure is something I have to feel on your hands to correct. That does not scale, which is why this is a day with four people rather than a room with twenty.
Learn the sequence
The full method, step by step, in the order it is performed, with the reasoning for each stage rather than a list of moves to copy.
Practise it, hands on
On a real face, with me correcting your pressure and your angle as you work. This is the part that does not translate to video, which is why the in-person day exists.
Take it to your price list
Pricing, positioning, and how to introduce it to existing clients without discounting it to get them through the door.
Why this one and not the others
Over the years I've trained in many different treatments, but I've deliberately refined my offering to focus on the ones that deliver excellent client outcomes, encourage repeat business and build profitable clinics.

From two graduates of this course
In their own words.
The small course size allowed plenty of time for individual attention, detailed feedback, and lots of hands-on practice. I left the course feeling genuinely excited to get started.
EmmaTrueLift™ Facial Massage · Lincolnshire Sarah is very knowledgeable and I felt very well supported throughout the day. I left feeling confident in being able to offer the TrueLift treatment.

EnrolThe usual facial course.
The usual facial course.
And ours.
Facial massage training in this country runs from about £120 to £600 plus VAT, and most of it teaches you a renamed blend of other people's techniques. Here is what a day with me contains instead.
The usual facial massage course
- A blend of other techniques, renamed
- A group of ten or twenty
- Practised on the person sitting next to you
- Nothing at all about what to charge for it
- Taught by whoever is rostered that week
- It ends the day the certificate is printed
Training at the Academy
- My own method, built from named teachers
- Four students, and I teach all four myself
- Practised on a real face, with your pressure corrected
- Taught in a working clinic, not a hired training room
- Pricing and positioning included, not sold separately
- Questions still answered once you have clients of your own
Easy to reach fromPeterborough, Stamford, Bourne, Spalding, Lincoln, Grantham, Rutland, Oakham, Boston, the East Midlands.
Before you enrol.
If your question is not here, ask it on the call. It comes straight to me.
Do I need a qualification before I can learn this?
No. It suits qualified therapists adding a signature treatment and complete beginners alike. What matters is whether you will practise it: pressure is a physical skill and it improves with repetition rather than with revision.
Is this a qualification?
No, and I would rather say so plainly. It is CPD training in my own method. If a regulated certificate is what you need, the VTCT Level 2 Facial Massage and Skincare on this site is the honest answer, and it is a different course.
Can I really learn facial massage online?
The sequence, the reasoning and the business side, yes. Pressure, no: that is the one thing I have to feel on your hands to correct. Most people who take the online course later add the in-person day, which is why the upgrade exists.
What can I charge for a TrueLift™ treatment?
Treatments in this range typically charge from around £80 to £150 or more. What you achieve depends on your prices, your market and whether clients rebook, which is why the pricing and positioning are part of the course rather than an afterthought.
What is the difference between this and a facial?
A facial cleanses and treats the surface of the skin. This works the muscle, the fascia and the lymphatic system underneath it, which is why the result shows in the shape of a face rather than only in its condition.
How many of us will be there?
Four maximum, and I teach all four myself. On a manual technique that number is not a luxury, it is the mechanism: I cannot correct your pressure from across a room of twenty.
Before you enrol
One treatment, done properly. Beats five, done like everyone else.
Ring me on 07734 821778 and tell me what you already offer. If TrueLift™ would sit oddly next to it, I will say so.
