Discover the art and intention behind Facial Gua Sha — a time-honored technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that promotes circulation, lymphatic flow, and natural rejuvenation of the skin. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to perform a complete facial Gua Sha sequence along with specialized protocols to address jaw tension, puffiness, and dull or devitalized skin.
This class begins with an introduction to the history and philosophy of Gua Sha in TCM, followed by an exploration of facial anatomy, acupressure points, and energetic meridians that influence skin health and vitality. Students will also learn how to select and use botanical facial oils and floral waters
that enhance the results of Gua Sha and facial massage—supporting balance, hydration, and radiance for all skin types.
Through guided practice, you’ll gain confidence in performing lymphatic drainage and facial sculpting techniques while developing sensitivity and flow in your touch. The class includes targeted mini-protocols such as Jaw Pain Release, Eye & Brow Lift, Radiance & Circulation Boost, and Cooling & Calming
sequences to customize treatments for individual client needs.
