There is body language and then, there is the language your body speaks…

A Tale of Two Faces: Part 2 of our 3-part Read Between the Lines series is now available to watch.

In this session, Christy, Linda, and Sean discuss the powerful insights of face splits – showing how the left and right sides of your face can reveal different aspects of your personality, emotional expression, and inner world. From uncovering the face you show to others versus the one you keep private, to identifying patterns of tension and transformation, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on self-awareness through psychosomatic therapy.

What if Every Face was a Map?

Every face holds information – not just about how someone looks, but about how they think, feel, and move through the world. The lines, shapes, and expressions you see every day can tell you a lot – once you know what to look for.

Gaining insight into others' processing styles brings clarity to your own perceptions and responses and opens your awareness of others through a compassionate lens.

Face Reading gives you the tools to read that map.

In our Level 1 Face Reading Course, you’ll learn how to:
• Read the face holistically (not just traits in isolation)
• Understand how facial zones relate to personality and life patterns
• Spot emotional habits and protective masks
• Interpret differences between the public (right) and private (left) sides of the face
• Begin to build personality profiles through facial features

This training is ideal for therapists, coaches, health professionals, and anyone interested in human behaviour, connection, or personal insight.

🗓️ Starts Sunday 21 September 2025 – Online
💻 15 hours of training delivered over 8 sessions
🕒 3:00pm–5:30pm AEST (Sept: 21, 28 · Oct: 19, 26 · Nov: 9, 23 · Dec: 7 – last session is 1 hour)

Do you show one face to the world and another in private?

In this session, Christy Foster, Linda Thackray, and Sean Jago will explore the powerful insights that come from left and right side face splits – revealing how the two sides of your face can mirror different aspects of your personality, past experiences, and emotional expression.

Learn to identify which side reflects your public persona, which shows your inner world, and what emotional imbalances might be written across both. This is a thought-provoking session for anyone interested in face reading, emotional wellbeing, and psychosomatic self-awareness.

Some habits run deeper than we realise. In psychosomatic work we explore behavioural patterns - consistent ways of thinking, feeling, and acting often shaped by early experiences. These patterns once offered safety but now quietly drain our energy.

One of these patterns is the Overachiever, or the Controller. To the outside world, you’re the one who keeps things running - always organised, dependable, and rarely asking for help. But beneath that capable exterior, a nervous system may have wired itself to seek safety through control and certainty.

This post explores what happens when doing becomes a defence strategy - and how that pattern impacts mind, body, and wellbeing.

Overachieving and control often mask deeper stress responses. Learn how these patterns impact your nervous system and what your body may be revealing.

Could the face be a map to understanding yourself and others?

The way your eyebrows arch, how your jaw holds tension, the softness (or sharpness) around your eyes - it all says something. Not random, not just genetics but a reflection of how you’ve moved through the world.

That’s where our training begins - teaching you how to read what the face already knows.

Ideal for coaches, therapists, counsellors, HR professionals - or anyone curious about personality profiling and human behaviour

Online training - Starts 12 August 2025
8am – 11.00am AEST | Times to suit Australia / USA / Canada

It was 2008, I was working in the Corporate world, when I first experienced a Face Reading and signed up immediately for the Psychosomatic Therapy Training. What an amazing journey it has been since then, and very humbling to introduce Face Reading and Psychosomatics to people wanting to discover more about Mind Body Communication and energy patterns which can be read in the Face and Body, voice and posture, and in health issues. I love this work and feel blessed to be one of the Psychosomatic Teachers sharing this work globally.

Meet Linda Thackray, one of our long-standing Certified Teachers at the Psychosomatic Therapy College and the founder of The Face and Body Interpreter.

After a life-changing session of Face Reading and Psychosomatic Therapy, Linda left her corporate role to follow what she describes as the missing link in her work: understanding the emotional stories held within the face and body.

For over a decade, Linda has guided clients and students to uncover the unconscious patterns that shape their lives - working with facial structure, body language, muscle tension and postural habits to reveal the deeper truths beneath the surface.

Her work is transformational for personal growth, and also an invaluable skill for professionals - from therapists and coaches to team leaders and health practitioners. By learning to read the body’s signals, Linda helps people discover the root of long-held emotional blocks and return to a more authentic version of themselves.

As a registered teacher since 2012, Linda continues to teach, mentor and share the teachings of Hermann Müller both in Australia and internationally.
Linda's next courses are:

✅ An online Psychosomatic Therapy training starting 8th Aug
✅ Face Reading online starting 18th Aug
✅ Face to face Psychosomatic Therapy training in Sydney, in October.
