Love everything Gua sha?
Then have we got the
Gua sha Extravaganza
for you!
Three or four days of immersive training on the history, benefits and practical applications of both fundamental and facial gua sha, and how to incorporate this time-honored medicine into your practice.
Starting on Day 1 with Therapeutic Gua Sha for the Body, you'll learn about the history of Gua sha, its benefits, contraindications, common conditions treated and how to incorporate it into a therapeutic session.
Day 2 will focus on Therapeutic Facial Gua Sha, where you'll learn its history, benefits, how to apply basic and specialized techniques, and how to treat headaches using specific acupoints.
​
Day 3 brings you Part 1 of the Advanced Therapeutic Facial Gua Sha experience where you'll learn advanced techniques to treat allergies, dizziness and TMD (jaw issues) using specific acupoints.
​
Day 4 is Part 2 of the Advanced Therapeutic Facial Gua Sha series that gives you training on how to treat Bell's Palsy, colds/flu, insomnia and tinnitus using specific acupoints.
​
You'll receive 6 CE credits per class - that's 24 credits if you take all four, which fulfills your LMT renewal obligations!
