What You’ll Learn:
The history and traditional roots of Gua Sha, and how these concepts translate into modern clinical bodywork
How to hold and use the tool efficiently, using body mechanics that protect and support your hands
Massage techniques that pair seamlessly with Gua Sha to enhance your existing sessions
Safe, practical ways to integrate Gua Sha into a variety of massage treatments
How to use Gua Sha for your own self-care, because your well-being matters too
You’ll have time to observe, ask questions, and practice. The workshop includes lecture, discussion, demonstration, and plenty of hands-on experience, so you leave feeling confident and ready to apply these techniques right away.
This course is a prerequisite. Completion of this course prepares you for the Gua Sha for Specifics class, where we dive deeper into targeted applications.
You do not need to bring a tool to participate. There will be a wide range of tools available to borrow during class—so you can try different materials, sizes, and shapes. We also offer a buffalo horn Gua Sha tool for just $10 (cash only, first come/first served).
