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.

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. Her knowledge of Facial Gua Sha is unbeatable and past attendees always comment on how friendly and approachable Katie is.

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 IPHM (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.

Here's what people say about the course...
Rachel McKenna
I loved the Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training! My Super Trainer, Katie Blake, has been incredible from start to finish. Easy to contact, kind and a fountain of knowledge! The course itself was detailed and just the right balance of practical/ theory. I also loved learning more about the history of Gua Sha and the more holistic side of it all. The individual videos are fabulous, and I'm still watching them now to make sure I mirror Katie's every move! I just loved learning about the Meridians and the Chinese medicine side of things. I find it all fascinating and was so pleased it was included in the course.
My favourite thing about the training was my practical exam with Katie. It made me smile so much! I loved being in her energy. Her enthusiasm rubs off on you, and I learned so much more just from that short meeting. I would definitely recommend this course, and I would say if you want to learn Gua Sha, be sure to learn from the best in the business!
Mimi Heryet
The Facial Gua Sha Teacher training was excellent. The manual you receive is extensive and contains clear explanations, photos and embedded videos to support learning. In addition to this, Katie's online Zoom sessions were invaluable - I have learnt (and will, no doubt, continue to learn) so much from her, and I feel privileged to have her as my teacher. Probably the most important thing I have learnt relates to the crystals themselves and their healing properties. I have learnt to observe how heat is drawn out of the skin and now know which crystal is best to use and when and how to use it.
Personally, my favourite part of the training was that I loved developing my understanding of Yang Sheng, the self-care part of Chinese medicine. It works on so many levels and is the perfect antidote to modern stressful lifestyles.
Sari Daly
I thought the Facial Gua Sha teacher training was great; it really clearly presented information, and the videos were easy to follow. I loved learning the new techniques, but my favourite thing is probably the way energy work and affirmations are a part of the course. I would definitely recommend the course, and I would say that the course is well presented, the content is thorough and interesting, and Danielle and Katie are wonderful teachers. The methods taught really work, and it is a great skill to be able to share with the world.
Fani Mari
I'm very pleased with the Facial Gua Sha Teacher training! The most important part I learned was the proper Gua Sha techniques and ways of following a routine. I normally do whatever comes to mind, but this course was essential to further my understanding of how everything works. My favourite part of the training was how analytical everything was and the fact that the videos of the Gua Sha techniques were included in the material.
Kari Erickson
Earlier in the year, I considered following a route that so many women my age (more than you might think!) pursue, opting for medical-grade skincare and a little injection to help keep everything buoyant.
I went so far as to step into the office just to feel it out…and every part of my being tightened and clenched in fear. I felt very strongly that fear underscored all of my chosen aesthetician/injector's work, as understated as it was. I liked her, but I wasn't going to let her go near my face.
So I took the money I was going to spend on changing my face chemically and put it towards my Face Yoga teacher training and Gua Sha teacher training.
I can honestly say that my skin looks better than it has in years, and I enjoy meeting my face each morning with clean fingers and a calm mind.
Dominique Boesten
I loved the Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training course! It's beautifully created, and I have thoroughly enjoyed studying. The great thing is that the training is also accessible and understandable if you do not have a professional background (like me). And what's great, of course, is that Katie Blake is your Super Trainer. Not only is she available at all times to answer any questions you may have, but she also hosts biweekly Zoom drop-ins to delve deeper into specific topics and answer questions. Katie is just amazing and has SO much knowledge. What I loved the most was the background information about the skin, the microcirculation, the lymphatic system and above all, lesson 5, 'The role of the organs, Qi flow and meridians' because it is precisely this information that contributes to awareness about the profound benefits of Gua Sha
Susanne Aram
My favourite thing about The Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training was having the freedom to learn and practice in my own time. I have already recommended it to a fellow Skincare and Facial Reflexologist therapist, saying that it is amazing, beautiful and relaxing and that it would integrate beautifully into her existing work. I told her that the provided training was very professional.
Kerri Anema
My favourite part of the Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training was learning that Gua Sha is such a powerful tool! I liked that the training could be followed at my own pace, but I was eager to complete this course and bring the skills to practice. The training manual has great information that will enable you to feel confident in delivering great advice to your clients. You are supported throughout by your trainer, Katie; she is wonderfully kind and approachable...you will always feel like the door is open for questions and advice.
Vikki Higgins
My opinion of the Facial Gua Sha Teacher training course - I totally loved it! I cannot wait to do the Body Gua Sha, Hands-on Facial Gua Sha and hopefully the Super Trainer courses.
My favourite thing about the training was, honestly, meeting Katie Blake and passing!
I found the course to be a real life changer; the quality of the tools and the benefits of Gua Sha are amazing. The people who run the course are so kind and helpful, and the community is so friendly. I just love it all. I am hooked!
Joyce Piper
I LOVED IT! Even if you never have any intention of using the training in a professional setting, this is the type of knowledge that provides us with the power to take care of our own health and well-being (and, therefore, our beauty) in a holistic and sustainable way. I loved it so much, I want more!
Felicity Murley
The training was great, concise, informative and extremely good, even for someone with very little knowledge of Gua Sha. I thought the videos were great. I replayed them many times!! I would recommend this training as it is online, easily accessible, extremely easy to follow and has no time limits, took the pressure off.
Alexandra Liefke
The most important thing I learned during the Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training was how super important the relaxation element is. My favourite thing was the holistic part - it's not all about the face - it's so much more. I would definitely recommend the training.
Zinaida Gagina
I enjoyed the Facial Gua Sha teacher training! The course has been created with the great knowledge of three wonderful teachers and therapists. The information is broken into modules which flow from one to another. I loved the very clear demonstrations of each technique by Katie Blake. I also enjoyed taking the exam with Katie as she was super friendly, super supportive, and very professional.
Gianna Haro
I loved how easy to understand, dynamic and knowledgeable the Facial Gua Sha teacher training was, even for someone like me with no previous professional knowledge. I continuously recommend it to my friends and family here in Ecuador!
The most important part for me was to learn how different muscles are connected to different organs and emotions through the meridians of the body. And that when our QI flow is balanced, we are healthy.
This Gua Sha training opened my eyes and mind to an ancestral technique that can be used to cure today's problems, such as stress, with only 1 minute of training a day. On top of that, you feel and look healthier, brighter and younger, plus it's an excellent business opportunity!
Julia Bettermann
I loved that there wasn’t a time frame to complete the course—you could take as much time as you needed. You’re also being supported throughout the whole time, so you never feel like you have to do it all alone. The training sets you up with everything you need to know, and I love how much I’ve learned! I really enjoyed every part of the training. All the information in it was so helpful and interesting.
Nilay Bayrak
The gua sha teacher training course is clear, detailed and informative. In this course, I found answers to most of my questions about gua sha. I would give 10/10 for this course.
