Every facial nerve injury and recovery journey is different, which is why the first step is a consultation.

During that conversation we discuss what happened, what you’ve tried so far, and what you would like to improve.

From there we can determine whether the Facial Recovery Roadmap is likely to be a helpful next step for you.

The consultation is a relaxed conversation where we take a closer look at what’s happening with your face and what you would like to improve.

During the call, we will talk about:

• your recovery history
• symptoms you’re currently experiencing
• what you have tried so far
• what changes you hope to see

From there, I’ll share my perspective on what may be contributing to the patterns you’re noticing.

Because the Facial Recovery Roadmap is a guided program and I work closely with each client, I only take on people when the program is a strong fit and when space is available.

If it appears to be the right next step for you, I’ll explain how the program works and what moving forward could look like.

If not, I’m always happy to point you toward other helpful resources.
