"Get in line" - Urban List

...I was a little late to see this 🤣 but Lift Me Up is at the TOP of Urban List's Auckland's Best Massage for 2025!!!...

True pinch-me moment. 💕

"There’s literally no greater luxury than getting a face massage from a professional violinist. That’s a fact. 

So, we’d like to introduce you to Milena of Lift Me Up Face Massage, algonside her soothing hands and spirit. Her approach is refreshing and totally unique: it’s a take on Kobido (the most complex of ancient massage techniques), international training and European techniques. Her facelifting ritual is an otherworldly mix of moments: there’s facial yoga, energy work, Zoga face integration, facial sculpting techniques, breathwork, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release—and golly gosh, oh so much more. 

Words won't ever describe the level of relaxation—almost hypnosis—that this experience offers you. But we cay say that you’ll come out of Milena’s space feeling taller, your face chiseled and like you’ve had a huge hug and hit reset on your body." - Ava Wardecki

Thank you thank you thaaank you!! :)

Mother’s Day gift that doesn’t suck??

…you know what I’m gonna say 😂

But WHY?

Well, let me list 5 reasons a face massage will make a mama happier than a dosen roses…🌹

1. It's a gift of TIME.

Time that mothers rarely take for themselves.

Time away from chores & children.

Time where they can just BE, relax & receive. 💕

2. It's a gift of RELAXATION & NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION.

Massage - especially done the Lift Me Up way - activates the vagus nerve and takes us from "fight or flight" and into the "rest & digest" mode, where our cells can regenerate, the body can heal, and the mind can calm down.

Win-win for both the mum & the fam 🙌

3. It's a gift of HEALING.

Mental (monkey mind emptying), emotional (emotions stored in the face, neck & shoulders finally getting released), AND physical (relief from headaches & TMJ, less teeth grinding, better eyesight, tension release, blood & lymph flow stimulation, more freedom of movement, improved posture, deeper breathing, better sleep, immune system boost... I could go ON AND ON).

4. It's a gift of GLOW. ✨

The release + activation combo means a SERIOUS nutrient boost from within, which means HELLO GLOWY DEWY ROSY SKIN..! 💕

5. Last but not least... it's a gift of a NATURAL FACELIFT without scalpel or needles, visible already after the first session ✨🙌

Show me a mum who doesn't want THAT.

Mother’s Day is around the corner (!) and I have digital (!) gift vouchers (as well as physical ones, if you prefer!;)) available for the first time ever. 🙂

Message me to get one and be the favourite child 🌹

You’ll thank me later! 💁🏻‍♀️

1:1 Mini-Intensives

Are you a face sculpting, buccal, or other manual rejuvenation modality practitioner, curious about Kobido and Eastern European lifting techniques?

Or maybe you’ve nailed that instant lift-and-glow, yet crave a deeper approach - something that gets to the root cause & creates a true release?

Perhaps you’re a master facialist wanting to turn everyone’s favourite part of the treatment (massage;)) into the heart of your sessions?

Or... are you totally new to this, but feel a sense of curiosity and excitement when you hear "face massage"?! :)

Wherever you’re at, I’m now offering 1:1 Mini-Intensives to level up your skills (or get a taste of face massage without commiting to a full-blown training!).

These 3-hour blocks are personalized, hands-on, and tailored to you and your practice 💕

Get in touch to schedule and let’s make it work for you!

I did Milena's one-on-one training in Sydney. It was a 3 hour intensive and I learnt so much from her! The massage techniques are incredibly effective and feel amazing. I highly recommend the 1:1 intensves! I hope to do more of Milena's courses in the future.

- Brianna Stepehenson, The Slowdown Facialist

I recently had the pleasure of learning facial massage techniques from Milena in a 1:1 mini-intensive and it was an incredible experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to detail. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she created a calm, soothing environment that made the learning process enjoyable. I left feeling relaxed and with a better understanding of how to incorporate facial massage into my routine. Highly recommend her if you’re looking to learn this technique!
