The Top 5 Facial Massage Courses in Australia Right Now

Let’s be real — the skin industry moves fast. But lately? It’s slowing down in all the right ways. Less about instant results, more about intentional ones. Less machine, more muscle. Less peeling, more presence.

And at the centre of that shift? Facial massage.


Not just a ‘nice add-on’. Not just a trend. But a proven way to support fascia, lymph flow, facial tension and tone — with just your hands and some serious skill.


If you’ve been thinking about upskilling (or reshaping your current massage method), here are five facial massage trainings currently making waves in the Australian professional beauty space — and worth your time.


Sydney-based and in a era of her own, Isabella’s buccal massage course is the go-to for advanced therapists ready to move past fluff and into function.


She’s clinically trained, methodical, and doesn’t skip the hard stuff — which is why this course has earned such high regard. Expect intraoral work (yes, gloves and all), fascia release, and a full sculpting protocol that’s as technical as it is transformative.


Perfect for therapists who want to become the person clients book when their jaw tension, puffiness or structure needs real attention.


Bee’s work is built around the belief that lymphatic health is skin health — and honestly? She’s not wrong. Her facial sculpting training goes far beyond “massage” and dives into the why behind every movement.

The Lymphatic Wellness Academy is now the go-to for therapists looking to treat inflammation, fluid retention and subtle sculping — while still offering that spa-like flow clients love.


Perfect for those who want to blend wellness and results in one beautifully executed facial.


This one’s for the therapist who wants to bring a full toolkit into the room. ProAge Aesthetics offers a hands-on masterclass combining Gua Sha, facial cupping and deep sculpting massage — and importantly, teaches you when to use which and why.

There’s a strong focus on sequencing and understanding how fascia, blood flow and lymph interact — so you're not just winging it with tools, but delivering real physiological outcomes.


Perfect for anyone who wants to bring both structure and softness to their menu — with tools that do more than just “look good on Instagram.”


Joni doesn’t just teach technique — she teaches touch. The kind of intentional, responsive, rhythm-led massage that’s become her signature in WA.

Her advanced facial massage training is intimate, raw, and focused on helping you build your own “signature” — not just mimic hers. It’s the type of education that gets you re-inspired about being in the treatment room.


Perfect for therapists who’ve lost the spark or want to reconnect with the slower, sensory, client-led parts of the job.


Junko’s training is calm, clean, and precise — everything you’d expect from the Japanese facial massage tradition she represents.

Her Sculpt & Lift course is a blend of technique, repetition and small details that compound into big results. It’s not “showy,” but it is effective — and her students walk away with a whole new respect for control and consistency.


Perfect for therapists who want to refine their craft and deliver results that whisper, not shout.


You don’t need to learn everything. But one of these could be the upgrade your facials (and your client retention) have been waiting for.

Because a well-trained hand will always be more powerful than the latest trend.
