"What is gua sha? Gua sha is a therapeutic technique from within Chinese Medicine that involves scraping on the surface of the skin with a tool to induce a change in the tissue beneath. It is used in the treatment of common ailments, and even chronic and acute illness. It can also be used to enhance beauty and treat facial features in a combined approach called Facial Gua sha. The basis of how Gua sha works in all of its forms is based on its improvement of blood circulation, the effect on the anti-inflammatory and immune responses, and the structural change in the biomatrix of the body. Frequency of Practice: Regular Gua sha ensures that these advantages continually optimize your body's systems. The more consistently your body experiences these benefits, the more efficiently it functions, creating a positive and perpetual cycle of well-being." Clive Witham
The gua sha services offer a blend of modalities that may resonate with your goals of wellness and relaxation in a NEW way.
"Face up services" are especially beneficial during the winter months or during allergy flares to avoid sinus pressure from lying face down on the table while still facilitating relaxation, ease, and renewal or for clients that have difficulty lying face down becuase of low back pain, recent surgery, etc.
