THE FULL WORKS
This treatment is beneficial for both men and women looking for deep relaxation, release of tense jaw muscles and revitalisation. Having mastered various powerful ancient modalities, Bibi offers, a deeply therapeutic, lymph stimulating massage incorporating back, neck, head, chest and, of course, face, with lasting results.
We begin by grounding the body and move on to working oil through with finger pressure and mobilisation to calm and soothe the muscles of the back, shoulders, neck and back of the skull.
The back massage stimulates the Bladder meridian channel, which runs through the muscles either side of the spine from where the nerves emerge to enervate the entire body and its systems. Massaging this channel directly stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and encourages deep relaxation and feelings of peace and optimism.
You then turn over to receive the facial massage. This combines lymphatic drainage, deep tissue massage and sculpting techniques, relaxing, and reviving the muscles of the chest, neck, face, and head.
External jaw and intra oral work are performed to release tension around the mandibular joint, the upper palette, and the pterygoids, hidden underneath the powerful masseter chewing muscles. This relieves tension in the head and neck created by constant stress-related clenching of the jaw.
The treatment ends with a grounding foot ritual.
Skin feels and looks lifted and radiant, leaving you revived and refreshed, inner balance restored, and able to focus and interact more harmoniously with the world around you.
PLEASE NOTE: Using natural oils and gua sha tools, as everything will be worked up the face, shoulders and neck and into massage of the scalp, you may want to come on a day your hair hasn’t been washed!

THE MIDDLE WAY
THE FULL WORKS
Unique to Bibi, and suitable equally for men and women, FACEWORKS is Facial Massage which is all about relieving deeply held tension in the tissues of the face particularly, also giving thorough attention to head, neck and shoulders. This give unused muscles a much needed workout, ironing out those that have crumpled through tension, draining lymphatic congestion, promoting the flow of vital fluids and production of smoothing and firming collagen.
It was born as a result of seeing a massive increase in head neck and jaw tension over the last two and a half years… I felt the need to create something specifically targeting these areas to relieve not only the physical, but also to aid the emotional responses to such tension. A difference can usually be seen and felt after just one treatment, bust as the effects are cumulative you will benefit more from a course of 4 weekly treatments followed by a weekly or monthly visit for maintenance.
3 levels to choose from. Each level, in its own way, smoothing out tense lines of expression as well as the physique, sculpting the contours of the face and giving you an overall uplift.
Also available is Jaw therapy, or Temporomandibular Joint Therapy which targets issues with the jaw and the muscles that surround it, treating the body as a whole as well as working directly in and around the jaw.
As a preventative and ongoing wellbeing option, regular monthly treatments are recommended.
NB. Therapies at Align are not a substitute for medical treatment and appropriate advice should be taken in these areas
