Your face reflects your inner world.

TCM facial mapping shows how different areas of the face connect to internal organs. This is a super interesting concept considering each organ holds its own emotional and physical patterns. 

Below are some of the functions and emotions linked to these organs from a TCM perspective.

Each area can show signs of either excess or deficiency: too much of an emotion, or a lack of it (numbness).

✨ LIVER
Emotion: anger, frustration
Functions: smooth flow of Qi, stress regulation
Imbalance signs: tension, headaches, overwork

✨ KIDNEYS
Emotion: fear
Functions: energy reserves, water balance
Imbalance signs: depletion, dark circles, exhaustion

✨ LUNGS
Emotion: grief
Functions: breath, immunity, skin
Imbalance signs: dryness, congestion, low vitality

✨ LARGE INTESTINE
Emotion: letting go vs holding on
Functions: elimination, clearing waste
Imbalance signs: stagnation, breakouts 

✨ HEART
Emotion: joy vs anxiety
Functions: circulation, Shen (mind/spirit)
Imbalance signs: heat, redness, restlessness

✨ BLADDER
Emotion: fear, tension
Functions: water metabolism, fluid regulation
Imbalance signs: tight neck/shoulders, stress activation

✨ SMALL INTESTINE
Emotion: discernment, clarity
Functions: sorting & seperating what nourishes vs what doesn’t 
Imbalance signs: heat, sensitivity, indecision

✨ STOMACH

Emotion: worry, overthinking
Functions: beginning digestion, nourishment
Imbalance signs: bloating, nausea, breakouts

✨ The reproductive organs are usually where a variety of deep emotions are held. 

There are different versions of facial mapping depending on the lineage — this is the one I personally resonate with.

✨ A little Intro from me 🤍

Hey! I’m Ellie, a holistic aesthetician & TCM Acupuncture student who is obsessed with healthy glowing skin, emotional wellbeing & treatments that support the skin on a deeper level. 

My approach is really simple:
✨ results you can feel
✨ techniques that support your nervous system alongside your skin
✨ a calm safe space for women to feel held and looked after

After being on a holistic skin journey for the past few years, whilst also recently turning 28 I have been looking for ways I can continue to support my skin holistically, whilst also giving my collagen all the help it can get. 😅

That is why I’m blending modern science with holistic skincare in my treatments. 

One of my favourite additions is PRX-T33 which was originally developed for children with scarring. Which is why it’s so powerful yet gentle. No peeling, no downtime just collagen stimulation and that glassy glow. (More to follow on this… 👀)

Anyway, my goal is to create a space where you can feel held, supported, and leave with skin that feels alive, lifted, and loved from every angle, inside and out.

If you’re new here, welcome 🤍
If you’ve been following me for a while, thank you for being part of my little journey. ✨
