Somatic Breathwork + Facial Massage Workshop
We carry stories, emotions, and unspoken stress in our bodies — and often, the face is where it shows up first.
Jaw clenching, tightness in the temples, forehead lines, and shallow breathing patterns create tension that gets stored in the facial muscles and connective fascia. Over time, this tension not only shapes how we look, but also how we feel: anxious, stuck, and disconnected from our sense of ease.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the deep connection between breath, fascia, and the nervous system. Through guided somatic breathwork, you’ll learn to soften your body’s stress response and reconnect to calm, spacious energy. Paired with intentional facial massage techniques, we’ll work directly with the fascia and muscles of the face — releasing stored tension, increasing circulation, and opening pathways for deeper relaxation and expression.
This is more than skin-deep: by releasing what your body holds in the face, you create space for emotional release, nervous system regulation, and a radiant sense of presence. You’ll leave feeling lighter, softer, and more connected to yourself.
This event is a partnership between Women Who Breathe + Bare Beauty Rituals, an Austin-based mobile holistic esthetician business by Erin Winters. We're excited to share ways to release facial muscles and leave clear, calm and refreshed for your weekend!
ABOUT BREATHWORK:
If you are new to somatic breathwork, please see this important FAQ document for things to consider before joining. If you have any contraindications, please let me know in advance so we can choose a way for you to modify the breath patterns. By joining the event you acknowledge you've read through the FAQ document & safety considerations.
Breathwork is a term that includes many different styles of breath control - different breath patterns, holds, etc - that create various physical and emotional states. Each pattern I guide you through is done with a specific purpose. My sessions typically follow a - warm up, peak experience, and cool down progression. The process will often create feelings of relaxation, emotional release, and potential for new and insightful mental states. Participants can often revisit past events, let go of any emotional blocks or barriers, and make peace with different life stressors. There is often a big physical tension release that follows a session.
For any questions that might be personal to you, feel free to email marina@womenwhobreathe.com at any time!

Warmly,
