Chinese Gua Sha & Cupping Facial

Facial Gua Sha is the use of a scraping tool, usually Jade to clear out facial tissue, increase blood supply, tone and lift the facial muscles and generate new collagen whilst increasing the luminosity of the skin. Facial Cupping is the use of a cup to increase blood supply, encourage elastic growth and flush the skin increasing luminosity.

Gua Sha or kerokan, is part of traditional Chinese medicine in which a tool is used to scrape people's skin in order to produce light petechiae.

Gua Sha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff or injured muscle areas to stimulate new oxygenated blood flow to the areas, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, regeneration, healing and recovery.

After completion of this class you will be asked to provide 10 case studies. You will only be awarded your certification after you have submitted these case studies and feedback has been given.
