The Facial Gua Sha Teacher Training Course was developed jointly by Katie Brindle, founder of Hayo'u, Katie Blake and myself, and is accredited by International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM).

Your training is done exclusively online with video content and you can study in your own home, in your own time and at your own pace. We ask you to study for a minimum of 12 hours (but many choose to do 20 + depending on experience level) prior to completing your written assignment (which you email to Katie Blake) and your practical assignment (which is done via video call Katie Blake).

The course comprises of 16 lessons in which you will learn all about facial Gua Sha and how to successfully use this on yourself and how to teach others to use it on their face. Please note this does not qualify you to touch others faces with a Gua Sha, you are showing them how to touch their own faces with the tool.

You will dive deep into face anatomy, the face muscles, skin structure, the lymphatic system, the role of organs, the Qi flow and energetic meridians as well as very specific Gua Sha techniques such as: warm up, definition, lifting, lymphatic drainage, targeted routines for lips, cheeks, eyes, forehead, stimulating acupressure points, and cool down routines. 

You will learn how to lead a consultation, how to do a face checklist and build a personalised Gua Sha programme for your clients. You will get to know how to teach a gua sha session online and get tips on building your business.

Included in the course you will receive a comprehensive course manual and a 30 minute 1:1 session with your trainer, Katie Blake, who will support you through your learning journey.

Your trainer will be highly experienced Gua Sha Instructor Katie Blake.

The course is a one-off payment of £495.
