What is Gua Sha?
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gua Sha facial massage is a natural skincare and wellbeing technique using a smooth, flat tool, often crafted from Jade. It has gained popularity in recent years as a modality to lift and sculpt the contours of the face by releasing tension and to achieve glowing skin by boosting circulation and supporting lymphatic fluid flow. Following the application of facial oil to clean skin, the Gua Sha tool is glided over the skin using gentle, controlled strokes that follow specific pathways on the face, neck and décolleté.

What it isn't
Not to be confused with Body Gua sha, Facial Gua Sha much more gentle in it's approach. Think of it as a modern day cousin of Body Gua Sha, a practice steeped in Eastern tradition that has been passed down through the generations. The purpose of body Gua Sha is to release stagnation from the body to treat dis - ease, it's name roughly translating from 'Gua', meaning scraping and 'Sha' meaning sand. The 'sand' refers to the petechiae marks left on the skin that resemble areas of red dots not dissimilar in appearance to bruising, although not painful. Rest assured, this is not the aim with Facial Gua Sha; if at any time sha does appear on the skin resulting from being over zealous, it's nothing to worry about, it just means your body is releasing stagnation and the mark should disappear in a day or two.

Bonus live session!
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the 5 Elements are represented on the face along with their corresponding organs and associated emotions. When organs are energetically out of balance through under or over use, emotions can become trapped in the facial landscape, leading to tension or stagnation.To mark the transition from winter into spring, the Wood Element in TCM, I will be hosting a complimentary additional live class on Tuesday March 17th at 7.30pm 2026. We will be focusing on both Gua Sha and Face Yoga techniques to work with the Wood Element and it's associated organs, the Liver and Gallbladder. The areas on the face where these organs are represented are the eyebrows and in between the eyebrows and the jawline, both typical areas prone to the accumulation of tension. The recording of this session will uploaded to the Gua Sha Masterclass course following the class.
