What Is the
Original Face Module?
Ce que vous apprendrez
During the MER Original Face Training, you will learn how to:
The Original Face module is one of the core modules of the MER Professional Training pathway.
This module focuses on the upper body: the face, cranium, jaw, neck, shoulders, arms, thorax and breath. These areas are often deeply connected with expression, protection, communication, stress patterns and nervous system regulation.
In MER, the face is not approached only as a local area. It is understood as part of a larger fascial and energetic network connected with the breath, ribcage, diaphragm, arms, hands, spine and emotional life.
Through deep bodywork, myofascial release, soft listening techniques, breathwork, body reading and somatic awareness, you will learn how to support greater freedom in the upper body and help clients reconnect with their natural expression.
Work with the face, cranium, jaw, neck, shoulders, arms and hands through deep, sensitive touch.
Understand how upper-body tension can influence breath, posture, expression and communication.
Explore the relationship between the fascial network, breathing structures and the upper body.
Use soft listening techniques to support release in the breath and nervous system.
Develop bodywork strategies for neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, jaw and cranial tension patterns.
Work with the ribcage, sternum and diaphragm to support freer breathing.
Study the role of the vagus nerve in body awareness, regulation and embodied safety.
Explore the anatomy of the rotator cuff and learn specific palpation techniques for the shoulder area.
Understand visceral relationships with the breath and upper body, including the liver, lungs and stomach.
Create complete MER session plans for upper-body integration.

By the end of the module, you will have more confidence working with complex upper-body conditions through an integrated MER approach.
Face, Jaw and Cranial Integration
The face and cranium hold important patterns of expression, protection and communication.
In this module, you will learn how to work with the fascial structures of the face, jaw and cranium with sensitivity and precision. You will explore how tension in these areas can relate to breathing, neck mobility, stress patterns and emotional expression.
This work supports more space, softness and awareness in an area of the body where many people unconsciously hold effort, control or protection.
Neck, Shoulders, Arms and Hands
The neck, shoulders, arms and hands are deeply connected with action, expression, contact and communication.
You will learn how to assess and work with common upper-body tension patterns through body reading, palpation, myofascial release, joint awareness and deep bodywork.
The module includes specific attention to the rotator cuff, elbows, wrists and hands, supporting practitioners to create more complete and integrated upper-body sessions.
Breath, Ribcage, Diaphragm &
Vagus Nerve
Breath is central to the Original Face module.
You will learn how the diaphragm, sternum, ribcage, thoracic structures and upper body influence breathing patterns and nervous system regulation.
The module also introduces the vagus nerve as an important part of body awareness, regulation and embodied safety. Through touch, breath and presence, practitioners learn how to support clients in finding more space and ease in the breath.
Deep Bodywork &
Psychological Insight
Upper-body conditions are often connected with protection, stress, emotional holding and communication patterns.
MER does not treat the body as separate parts. It looks at the relationship between fascia, breath, structure, emotion and awareness.
In this module, you will explore how physical restrictions in the face, cranium, neck, arms and breath can relate to psychological and emotional patterns — and how to support release through presence, sensitivity and professional bodywork.

Pourquoi est-ce important ?
The face and upper body are strongly connected with how we breathe, express, protect, communicate and meet the world.
When the jaw, neck, shoulders, arms or ribcage hold tension, the effects can influence the whole body — from breath and posture to emotional expression and nervous system regulation.
The Original Face module teaches practitioners how to work with these sensitive and meaningful areas through depth, precision and respect.
When the face softens, the body can remember a more natural way of breathing, moving and expressing.
