My Journey in Holistic Healing and Skincare

I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by the principles of holistic healing, where my family embraced traditional remedies and sought the expertise of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctors for various ailments.

 

This early exposure to natural wellness practices deeply influenced my understanding and passion for holistic health. With a clear vision of my future, I pursued my passion for wellness immediately after high school.

 

In 2004, I enrolled at the esteemed FREDERIQUE ACADEMY in Hong Kong, a school renowned throughout Asia. By the age of 19, I had become both an Esthetician and a Massage Therapist, marking the beginning of my nearly two-decade-long journey in this field.

My career began at the prestigious PENINSULA HOTEL in Hong Kong, where I joined the Grand Opening Team for E'SPA. This experience set the stage for a remarkable journey that took me to the Spa at the FOUR SEASONS HOTEL in Hong Kong, to ELEMIS in the UK as part of their Regional Training Team, to BABOR in Aachen, Germany, and to COMFORT ZONE in Parma, Italy, where I served as a Regional Training Manager

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL

In my late 20s,

I had the incredible opportunity to open the stunning 32,000 square-foot Amnis Spa at the FOUR SEASONS HOTEL in Moscow, Russia.

This achievement was followed by my move to the United States, where I finally realized my dream of owning my own business. This venture allows me to share the knowledge and expertise I have gathered over the past 19 years, traveling the globe, learning diverse massage techniques, and working alongside some of the most talented masters in the industry.

 

Through my experiences, I have developed unique treatments that reflect a blend of tradition and innovation

Why Learn Buccal Massage from Me?

My training in this technique was extensive (I have been practicing for over 15 years), having spent over a month in dedicated study under a French expert, a far cry from the brief courses often offered today.

 

This in-depth training has given me a profound understanding of the anatomy and nuances of Buccal Massage, allowing me to deliver truly transformative results. ​As a student, you will benefit from this deep expertise, gaining insights and skills that go beyond surface-level knowledge.

 

My approach combines rigorous anatomical understanding with hands-on practice, ensuring that you not only learn the technique but also master its application in real-world settings.

 

Whether your focus is on anti-aging or tension relief, learning Buccal Massage from me will equip you with a powerful tool to elevate your practice and deliver exceptional results to your clients.

Hands-on buccal face massage training at Face Massage School in Franklin, Tennessee — professional instructors demonstrating advanced facial lifting and anti-aging techniques during in-person course in the USA

You’re not just learning a technique you’ve seen replicated online

– you’re learning an entirely different approach that’s been perfected over two decades of hands-on experience and study.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all method picked up from a single person or online trend

Katerina Summers, founder of Face Massage School, expert in buccal facial massage and advanced facial anatomy techniques in the USA

My Signature Buccal Massage combines

15 years of specialized training

in buccal techniques from diverse global experts

20+ years of practice integrating advanced knowledge

of anatomy, physiology, and injury recovery

I’ve dedicated years to understanding how muscles, connective tissue, and facial structure work together

This massage is deeply rooted in science, precision, and results – not just trends. It’s designed to not only lift and firm the face but also to optimize the health of the tissue

My personal innovations in blending techniques

like myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, sculpting movements, Thai massage, Indian head massage

Why This Training Stands Out

01

Not the Same as “Online Buccal Massages”

Many popular methods online are incomplete or even harmful, taught by individuals without a foundational understanding of massage therapy or anatomy. My training is based on proven, safe, and effective techniques tailored to provide real results.

02

Comprehensive Approach

This is more than just buccal (intraoral) massage. You’ll learn how to prepare the tissue, work with muscle groups, and incorporate advanced techniques for maximum effectiveness.

03

This isn’t borrowed or copied

This is my unique methodology, created through years of refining and combining techniques I’ve learned from experts across the world. My approach ensures that every client gets a treatment tailored to their individual needs.

04

Scientifically Sound

My method is built on a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, and the way our bodies function, ensuring you’re providing safe, evidence-based care to your clients

A Year of Craft.
A Future of Mastery.

Gratitude for the 16 incredible professionals who joined me across 5 intimate, in-person trainings — from Texas to Florida, Indiana to Colorado — each one bringing passion, precision, and purpose to the table.

I’m also exploring new locations to add to the calendar — and I’d love your input.

Jenn from Simply Skin Ohio — testimonial about how Face Massage School USA buccal massage training helped expand her business and client base

This massage has really changed my business

I own Simply Skin in Ashland Ohio. I went from having just enough clients to pay the bills to having enough clients to be able to move to a larger location and hire an additional esthetician. I also really like that fact that this massage is rare. As of right now (4-8-2021), to my understanding...
 
I am the only one in Ohio that is doing this. Do you know how important that is to me?
 
I am certified in the massage and was one of the few in her first class. She did an amazing job and I would take any classes she has in the future. Thank you Katerina

I have the most powerful tools with just my hands and Katerina showed me the how and why

Katerina is an excellent instructor and made me fall in love with the massage part of the facial again.

Having the knowledge to relax my client and give them physical results with just my two hands was bringing me back to the fundamentals without all the fancy tools.

I have the most powerful tools with just my hands and Katerina showed me the how and why. I’m so happy I invested in this class to give my clients even more benefit during their service

I met with Katerina while she was working with BABOR and she was our team trainer for the new opening spa in Germany

We always kept in touch and I learned that she moved permanently to the United States and started her own journey, which did not surprise me. 

I always wanted to learn more from her, as she has a gift of being an amazing tutor, having the hands on practice and the knowledge. So of course I joined her course and it was, no doubt, the greatest lesson I attended. I really hope Katerina will start to travel over the ocean to teach her techniques.
