Refined Recovery
If you experience regression with fatigue, stress, or aging — or continue to navigate the lasting effects of a lengthy recovery or complications such as synkinesis —
You are not alone.
Just like any other injury or affliction, facial recovery may require ongoing maintenance and occasional refinement. It’s natural for symptoms to shift over time — especially during periods of stress, illness, or change. With the right tools and awareness, these moments can become opportunities to restore balance rather than setbacks.
I offer a free audio meditation designed to help induce the relaxation response — a powerful way to calm the nervous system and support facial symmetry when stress begins to impact your progress. You can download it and use it as often as needed to help ease regression and bring the body back into a state of healing.

Revisiting the foundation periodically is often the key to restoring function, comfort, and appearance. A little focused self-care can prevent or even correct deterioration, even decades after initial recovery. It truly depends on where you are at and what you’re hoping to refine.
If you’re unsure where to start, I recommend exploring the material offered in Slow To Go, which revisits core techniques and helps you identify where your focus should be.
