Emotional Intelligence, TCM & the Stories the Face Tells
The face holds an extraordinary amount of information — about the body, the nervous system, emotional patterns, and how a person moves through the world. Long before someone tells you what’s going on, their face often already has.
This course explores facial reading as a tool for emotional intelligence, clinical awareness, and compassionate care. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and 5-Element Theory, you’ll learn how facial features, color, texture, lines, and expression can offer insight into internal organ systems, emotional tendencies, and long-held patterns.
This is not about diagnosis or judgment — it’s about seeing more clearly, listening more deeply, and working more effectively with the whole person in front of you.
In this course, we will explore how the face reflects both physiology and emotional experience, and how that information can support your work as a therapist, practitioner, or caregiver.
You will learn:
The foundations of facial reading through TCM and 5-Element Theory
How different areas of the face relate to internal organ systems
Emotional patterns commonly associated with each element
How stress, trauma, and life experience show up in the face over time
What facial color, tone, texture, and expression can indicate
How to observe without labeling or diagnosing
How to use facial awareness to improve communication and client care
This course is especially valuable for those who work hands-on with people and want to deepen empathy, presence, and intuitive intelligence in their practice.
Understanding how to read the face helps you:
Improve emotional intelligence and client communication
Recognize stress patterns and nervous system states
Tailor treatments more thoughtfully and effectively
Meet clients with greater compassion and awareness
Strengthen trust and therapeutic rapport
This knowledge supports better care — not just better techniques.
This course is taught by Meghann Lawrence, a massage therapist and educator with over 25 years of experience in the massage and wellness industry. Meghann has studied and worked extensively with TCM principles, 5-Element theory, and integrative bodywork, weaving emotional awareness and energetic understanding into hands-on care.
Her background includes decades in luxury resort spas, clinical settings, and advanced continuing education. Meghann’s teaching style blends anatomy, energetic awareness, intuition, and real-world experience, helping students see clients more fully — beyond symptoms alone.
Students value her grounded approach, clear explanations, and ability to make complex concepts approachable and practical.
Class size is intentionally kept small to allow for:
Thoughtful discussion and questions
Observation and shared learning
A safe, respectful space to explore emotional awareness
This is a course for practitioners who want to understand people more deeply, not rush through material.
This class is ideal for massage therapists, bodyworkers, wellness practitioners, and caregivers who want to expand their understanding of the emotional and energetic layers of healing.
