For the client

A Facial Harmony treatment is balm for the soul, the body and the mind. A treatment creates a space for beauty and relaxation where stress and the everyday life have constricted the tissue and the perception.
When I give somebody a session I am completely present, here and now. I can´t be thinking about what will be next or what happened before. I am open for the exchange with the client´s energy field. The skin serves as a media for the exchange of information. I get involved with the client without interfering. The client feels automatically that he/she is accepted, free of any judgment. Titles, social roles or names are not needed. We are on the level of the hearts and here there is no room for judgment and competition, but for empathy and compassion. This is why these encounters are so profound and touching.
Beauty comes when we are in harmony – with ourselves and with everything that surrounds us. Then we feel the quality of an inner peace and are able to shine in the light of clarity.

Experiencing a treatment, by H. Schäfer

During one hour I got to feel how refreshing and relaxing a treatment on the head can be for the whole body. First my body is gently stretched into place with some light manipulations on my shoulders, hips and knees. I am lying comfortably covered with a soft blanket. A fragrant pair of hands softly strokes my head in a first encounter. Then two fingertips start following the energy lines on which the acupuncture points are located. The first one is the Governor Meridian, which runs in the center of the head. I notice how my body becomes warmer: first on the shoulders, then the thorax, the legs, the knees and finally the feet. During the first half hour the left side of the head and face is treated. Two forefingers slide over the numerous acupuncture points. It is a very pleasant feeling. I am completely relaxed and the soft touch produces a comforting tingle in my whole body.  Soon I notice how my left half of the face gains space and feels softer and bigger. With a careful pressure the fingertips float over the eyebrow and the temple, surround the ear and wander to the most various acupuncture points on the face and the head. I am astonished to notice how sensitive the area of the head is, although it´s formed of strong bones. After half an hour the work on the left side is over. There is a small interruption and I have the chance to look at myself in a mirror. What I was feeling can also be seen: more vitality, relaxation and softness. The left and right side of my face feel so different that if the treatment would stop now, I would feel crooked. But now I may lie down comfortably again and follow the pleasant touch. What a great combination: I get pampered, enjoy the relaxation and at the same time energy blockages are solved: cosmetology from inside – a wonderful gift!

For the student

Facial Harmony can be learned by anybody. For a therapist it becomes an enriching asset. Many students have made it into a new career and for others this method has become a wonderful tool to treat friends and relatives. The course is not about theoretical knowledge on meridians only, but also trains the perception and the intuition. 
In my courses I impart the idea that the client should feel as being treated by his personal guardian angel. I teach how to get immersed in the client’s energy field, without judging or interfering and I show how to create a space free of stress that allows small wonders to happen.

For the practitioner

A Facial Harmony treatment is as relaxing for the practitioner as it is for the client. The absolute presence here and now and the interaction with the client create a symbiotic space of which both take an enriching advantage.
