VELLORA Workshops: Questions and Answers

Who is this workshop for?
Massage therapists, beauty therapists, facialists, bodywork practitioners and anyone drawn to deepen their understanding of the face, not simply add another sequence.

Do I need previous experience?
No experience is needed, although a background in massage or skin work is helpful. Practitioners who have trained elsewhere are also welcome. The focus is on the why behind every movement and how to read the body in front of you.

What does the workshop cover?
Two days of facial massage and buccal technique, taught as a full structural sequence grounded in anatomy and nervous system science. Reiki attunement is offered separately.

What is included?
A workbook, a full kit, anatomy flash cards and gloves.

Will I receive a certificate?
Yes, a certificate of completion is issued to those who attend the full workshop.

Can I get insurance to practise buccal massage after this course?
Insurance requirements vary between providers, and intraoral work is not covered by every policy. Please check with your insurer before booking.

How many people are in each workshop?
A maximum of six, so every attendee receives close, individual guidance.

How is the workshop taught?
You will watch a full demonstration, receive the treatment twice so you understand it from the client's side, and practise hands on four times.

What do I need to bring?
Comfortable clothing and a water bottle. Please arrive with short nails and no makeup.

Is buccal massage safe?
Buccal work involves intraoral contact, so hygiene, consent and contraindications are covered in detail. Please do not attend if you are unwell.

Where are upcoming workshops?
Brisbane in October and Adelaide on 26 and 27 November.

What is your cancellation policy?
