The Face and Body Interpreter

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.

What if your client’s face held the answers they weren’t yet ready to say out loud?

In therapy and coaching, so much is unspoken. Emotions like fear, grief, anxiety, and shame often sit behind the words, quietly shaping a person’s posture, facial expressions, and sense of self. This training shows you how to recognise those patterns—and respond with more clarity, connection, and care.
