In 1️⃣ minute, I save you a lot of time, mo#$y, and unnecessary treatments.
Because hooded eyes, puffiness, or changes around the eyes are almost never just “an eye problem”.
Your eyes are often showing you where tension is building in the body - in the neck, jaw, chest, posture, breathing, lymphatic flow, and nervous system.
And this is exactly what I teach through Face Up: to stop looking at the face as separate parts, and to start understanding the whole system behind it.
Please treat yourself with love.
Before you rush to cut, fix, inject, or change something permanently, learn to listen to your body first.
Because once something is cut, it will never work in the same way again.
The body is incredibly intelligent.
And very often, your face is not asking to be “fixed” it is asking to be understood.
This is exactly what I teach professionals in my Face Up trainings, so they can create not just treatments, but truly out-of-this-world experiences and results for their clients. Details in bio @olga_faceup
And this is also what we explore inside Face Up Club, where I personally guide online practices for the face, posture, body connection, and deeper self-awareness. You can find link in bio @olga_faceup

Most people think it’s TMJ.
But here’s the reality ⬇️
Only about 5% of cases are actual TMJ disorders, diagnosed and treated medically.
The other 95% is jaw tension - built through muscular, fascial and functional patterns over time.
Your jaw is your stress gatekeeper.
And for most people, that tension is simply treated locally - without ever resolving it.
So millions keep living with tight jaws, facial tension and discomfort — misdiagnosed, overtreated, or never properly addressed.
This is where the shift is happening.
Professionals who know how to read these patterns — and release them properly — are becoming truly in demand.
📆 This is now a 2-day live workshop experience
Day 1 — Assessment & Understanding
How to actually read jaw tension and see what’s behind it.
Day 2 — Practical Workshop
Live work on a model. How real jaw release is created in practice — without pain, without aggressive pressure, and without relying on Botox.
❗Only workshop attendees will get access to a special bonus from me.

I genuinely loved reading this piece in @elleaus !
@rubyfeneley , thank you for such a generous, intelligent and beautifully observed take on the FACE UP experience. I truly appreciate the depth of your writing - and yes, I’ll gracefully accept the Gwyneth comparison 😌
What resonated most was this line that just after 1 session: “I learnt more about how the body works and how the way I hold and use my body will impact my future face than I have in 10 years of working in the beauty industry.”
That, for me, captures the essence of FACE UP.
This work isn’t about surface beauty or incense-cloud mysticism. It’s about fascia and the connecting networks that shape our faces as we age, and about understanding the body with the precision of structural engineering because I do believe bodies are intelligent mechanical systems that respond to alignment, load, tension and capacity.
At the same time, structure is only part of the story. The nervous system and the energetic state of the body matter just as much. FACE UP works where mechanics and feeling meet where safety allows release, and support allows change.
When someone who has spent a decade inside the beauty industry says that one session shifted her perception of beauty and health, that matters. Because what happens in that room is not a treatment in the traditional sense - it’s a re-education of how the body is held, used, supported and understood.
If you’d like to read the full article please comment ELLE and I’ll send it to you.

Almost two weeks in Canada.
People, places, spring, and the incredible deep touch of Face Up shared with my new students.
I appreciate all your stories, your beauty, your words, your tears, and the amount of love we held in these days.
A few of my favourite highlights from this trip.
Thank you, beautiful spring Canada. You were very special 👌🏻🍁
Olga Newman is the brains behind The Face Up Method - a specialty sculptural facial massage technique earning her an impressive rebook rate of 90%.
For Professional Beauty’s Autumn issue, we chat to Olga on what led her to develop the treatment, what’s involved, and what about Face Up leaves the client wanting more.
Read it in print or online now. Link in bio.
They asked me:
“Mom, what was the most painful moment of your life physically?”
“When you were born 😌”
“And what was your happiest moment?”
“The same one ♥️♥️♥️♥️”
I’m in Canada right now, and today is Mother’s Day here and I am without my boys…. and mother’s guilt is my ongoing pain tbh something I’m constantly dealing with.
I still can’t fully believe or process how a woman’s body can grow a human from her own cells, and how this already powerful, giving nature can turn into something so deeply intimate.
Every moment with little humans is incredible, even the hardest ones - the priceless smiles, the cuddles, the snuggles, and all those moments when you feel completely exhausted but still somehow keep going.
Motherhood gives you this incredible superpower: the ability to find strength when you truly think you have none left, to stand up and do things you probably wouldn’t do for yourself, but you do for them.
Because they become one of the strongest reasons to push, to move, to grow, to keep showing up and to keep becoming more, even through the hardest moments.
And to all beautiful mamas - with all this giving, we really need to come back to ourselves, put ourselves together and put ourselves first too.
Otherwise, we can’t help, we can’t give, and we can’t fully enjoy all this fun, chaos, joy and magic with our little humans.
Because you matter too.
To all kinds of moms ♥️ Happy Mother’s Day ♥️
Still trying to process this one…
Seeing Face Up featured in @dailytelegraph , one of Australia’s most-read newspapers, feels incredibly special.
What touched me most is how deeply and accurately @zarapowell_ understood the heart of this work. Not as “beauty”, but as something far more connected to the body, nervous system and the human experience itself.
“Our faces tell a story, not just of age, but of emotion, stress, trauma and energy.”
And this line honestly says everything about Face Up:
“The face is part of the body, not a separate aesthetic zone to be frozen, filled, or controlled.”
This is exactly why I do what I do.
For me, the face has never been just about appearance. It is somatics. It is stored tension. It is the nervous system. It is patterns, emotions, breath, stress, posture and life itself reflected through the face and body.
I feel incredibly grateful that more people are becoming educated about what is actually happening underneath the skin, and that these conversations are becoming more mainstream.
Huge thank you to The Daily Telegraph, to @zarapowell_ for such a thoughtful and beautifully written piece, and to my amazing PR @pippajageurs for helping bring this message into the world.
Very grateful for this moment ♥️
Saving for an eyelift surgery?
Try this first.
In just 1 minute a day, you can start changing how your eyes look and feel - more open, lighter, more awake, more lifted.
Because heavy eyelids are not always just an “eye problem”.
Very often, they are connected to tension in the neck, jaw, forehead, scalp, posture, lymphatic flow and nervous system.
I thought it was genetic but it was tension in my posture.
🔥 Comment LIFT and I’ll send you the full practice. 🔥
My Toronto crew ♥️, you got my heart ♥️ something very special.
This was my second Face Up group in Toronto, and I am amazed by what unfolded in the room - the depth, the openness, the courage, and the way each practitioner began to feel their own body, their own patterns, and their own touch in a completely different way.
So many of the words shared after the training stayed with me: “life-changing”, “out of this world”, “I can breathe again”, “so much more than I expected”.
And maybe this is the deepest part of the Face Up Method - you begin to experience the release of energy you never even knew you were holding, because so much of it was locked in tension through your face, jaw, neck, shoulders, breath, and body.
This work is not just about learning techniques. It changes the way you see the body, the face, tension, emotion, beauty, and your own role as a practitioner.
Behind every tense trap, every guarded hand, and every held expression, there is a life story waiting to be released — and a pattern ready to change.
I am so curious and excited to watch your paths unfold now: in your work, your businesses, your bodies, and in the way you hold space for your people.
So much love to my Toronto team ❤️
Next trainings:
Brisbane - June, 1 spot left
Auckland - June, hands-on with Rachel
Sydney - August, early bird available
Singapore & Hong Kong - September
Spots are moving quickly. Link in bio to apply.
If eye patches really fixed under-eye bags, you wouldn’t need to keep buying them again and again.
The truth is, very often bags under the eyes are not just about the skin.
They can be connected to fluid stagnation, digestion, neck tension, lymphatic flow, and the way your whole body holds stress.
I explain more in the video, but the main point is this:
your eyes are not separate from your body.
And after the last reel about hooded eyes, I want to make the next practical video for you.
What is yours?
HOODED -heavy upper eyelids
PUFFY - swelling around the eyes
BAGS - under-eye bags
Write in the comments, and I’ll prepare the next practice for the most requested one. 🙌
With love,
Olga

How do you get 25 bookings in 24 hours
and 90–100% return clients?
Because Face Up is not another facial. People don’t come for a “treatment” - they come for how they feel. They might arrive for appearance, but they leave with their nervous system reset and deep tension released.
I’ve explained more about how this works in my Highlights System ➡️just go to have a look 🙌
