#1 - 

Comprehensive Video Lessons and Training Manual

 

We’ve designed the Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training to be as flexible as possible. You’ll study from home, with 16 lessons that you can follow in your own time and at your own pace.

 

You’ll receive an electronic copy of our 150-page Facial Gua Sha manual, which was written specifically for this course. Each lesson is also accompanied by video guides to help you learn the techniques.

 

The manual and videos are packed with both theory and practical information, giving you everything you need to learn to use Facial Gua Sha techniques on yourself and teach them to others.

 

You’ll keep these resources for life, so you’ll always have them to refer to as you continue on your Facial Gua Sha journey.

 

We ask you to complete at least 12 hours of study before moving on to the assessment phase. But you can choose to do more if you prefer. There are no time limits – we want this training to fit easily around your life.

 

#2 - 

Support from your Super Trainer

 

Although the course is taught through pre-recorded content so that you can focus on your learning at a time that is convenient to you, you’ll have the full support of your super trainer as you embark on your Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training journey.

 

Katie Blake is our super trainer for the Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training Course.

An Internationally Recognised Certification

 

One of the things that makes this course stand out is that it leads to an internationally recognised certification. The course is accredited by both the IHPM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine) and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists.

 

When you are ready, you’ll complete the certification process by doing a short written assignment to check your knowledge and understanding. You’ll email this to your trainer, who will mark it and reach out to book your 30-minute 1:1 video call.

 

During the first ten minutes of this call, you’ll complete the practical exam. Don’t let the word exam put you off – we just ask you to teach a mini Gua Sha class as though you were leading a session for clients.

 

After the practical, you’ll have the opportunity to review your learning with your trainer, ask questions, and get feedback. Then, we’ll send you your diploma and you’ll officially be a qualified Facial Gua Sha Teacher. 

Your teacher training course was designed and written by three passionate, experienced wellness professionals (myself, Katie Brindle and Katie Blake). Together we collaborated to bring you the very best course to ensure you are fully equipped to teach facial Gua Sha.

The Result?

Your new knowledge will support your own self-care, giving you loads of wonderful techniques that you can use on your own face. And, if you want to build your wellness business, you’ll also have the tools you need to teach Facial Gua Sha sessions to paying clients.
