Elisa Lune is a highly trained holistic facialist based in West Sussex, holding a VTCT Level 2 Award in Facial Massage, Gua Sha Facial Fusion CE Training, Level 1 TMJ Massage Therapies and an SFL Professional qualification in Sculptural Face Lifting.

Elisa offers a truly unique holistic facial experience—where skincare meets deep emotional and physical release. Specialising in advanced facial massage techniques including Gua Sha and Intra-Oral work, her treatments go far beyond the surface. By gently working with the muscles of the face, jaw, and neck, she helps to ease built-up tension caused by stress, clenching, and emotional holding—often stored unconsciously in these areas. Her facials include fascial release and rhythmic lymphatic drainage to free restriction, reduce stagnation, and reawaken the skin’s natural glow.
What is Holistic Facial Massage and Its Benefits?
Facial massage is a rejuvenating, hands-on technique that uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate blood flow, encourage lymphatic drainage, and release tension in the facial muscles. This natural practice not only improves skin tone, elasticity, and detoxification but also helps sculpt and lift the face for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Perfect for those seeking to age gracefully, facial massage provides both visible results and a sense of calm, making it a powerful addition to any self-care routine.
What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves gently gliding a smooth-edged tool over the skin to stimulate circulation, release tension, and promote lymphatic drainage.
What is Intra-Oral Massage?
Intra-Oral massage, also known as Buccal massage, is a highly effective technique where massage is performed inside the mouth. This specialized approach works deeply on the facial muscles, targeting areas of tension that are often hard to reach, such as the jaw, cheeks, and around the mouth.
Elisa uses this technique to:
- Release deep-rooted tension, especially for those who clench their jaw or grind their teeth.
- Lift and tone the lower face and cheek area.
- Enhance circulation and oxygenation in the skin for a healthy glow.
- Provide profound muscle relaxation, which can also help relieve headaches and tension stored in the face.
This holistic facial method not only transforms the skin’s appearance but also offers deep emotional release, leaving you feeling lighter, brighter, and fully rebalanced.
How does Intra-Oral Massage benefit Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction?
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction refers to a range of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, difficulty chewing, and headaches. This dysfunction can result from various factors, including stress-induced teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, or muscle tension.
To help alleviate TMJ-related pain, Elisa uses advanced intra-oral techniques, trained through TMJ Massage Therapies. She works gently inside the mouth to access and release the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles—two deep jaw muscles often responsible for chronic tension and discomfort. By targeting these specific areas, Elisa is able to reduce pain, increase mobility, and relieve the pressure associated with clenching, grinding, and facial tension.
Particularly beneficial for those experiencing TMJ dysfunction, Elisa’s method helps to relieve jaw pain, improve mobility, reduce headaches, and soothe the nervous system. These sculpting, restorative facials naturally lift and define the face, enhance tone and elasticity, and support a brighter, more youthful complexion. The result is skin that glows, a face that feels lifted and free, and a nervous system that finally exhales.
Why Did Elisa Become a Holistic Facialist?
Elisa’s journey into holistic facial therapy began during her 8 years working for a skincare brand. After countless conversations with clients, she realized that true skin health runs far deeper than what’s applied topically—skincare alone can only do so much.
As Elisa began noticing changes in her own skin and was surrounded by many choosing Botox as a solution, she felt strongly that there had to be a more natural, long-term approach to aging gracefully. This sparked her passion for holistic skin care and led her to train in advanced facial techniques designed to work beyond the surface.
Her bespoke facials focus on more than just skin health—they work deeply on the facial anatomy, releasing physical tension, emotional blockages, and stress held within the muscles. This mindful, whole-body approach not only helps you look refreshed but leaves you feeling lighter, balanced, and restored from within.
