View Foundation & Advanced Programs

Who This Training Is For

Designed for Licensed Massage Therapists, Estheticians, Cosmetologists, and other beauty and bodywork professionals looking to expand their skills through advanced hands-on facial work.

Many professionals add facial sculpting and buccal massage to their practice to:
• Create a premium specialty service
• Reduce physical strain from repetitive bodywork
• Increase client retention and perceived value
• Differentiate themselves in a growing market
• Build confidence through a deeper understanding of facial tissues and anatomy.

Why Our Training Programs Are Different

Direct Correction & Guided Practice

Small-group training with real-time feedback helps students develop confidence, improve pressure control, and build professional hands they can trust.

More Than Technique

Students learn how to assess facial structures, tissue response, tension patterns, and depth — not simply memorize massage movements.

Built For Real Client Sessions

Protocols, business guidance, and practical application designed to help students integrate their new skills into professional practice immediately.

Training Programs

Meet Your Educator

Hi, I’m Elena Childers — a Licensed Massage Therapist, Licensed Esthetician, and Facial Sculpting Educator based in Texas.
I’ve been working in bodywork and massage therapy for nearly 10 years, with the last 7 years focused specifically on facial work, including both aesthetic and therapeutic approaches to facial tension, posture, jaw imbalance, and tissue dysfunction.
My work goes far beyond memorizing massage movements. I teach licensed professionals how to understand facial anatomy, read tissue response, develop sensitivity through the hands, and work with the face as part of the whole body system.
At The Sculpt Lab Academy, students learn not only clear technique and safe practice — but also the “why” behind each movement, so they can build confident, thoughtful, professional hands.
