Not Just Another Gua sha Class. A Whole New Way of Seeing

At the Komorebi Institute, we teach Gua sha differently. Ecology in Motion™ is a system born of over two decades of research, clinical practice, and deep study of nature-based Chinese medicine. It’s not tool-focused. It’s not trend-driven. It’s fascia-first, circulation-focused, and rooted in a true understanding of how the body works.

  • Based in ancient Chinese principles, natural science, and modern anatomy
  • Practical tools and frameworks for real results with real people 
  • Taught by a global Gua sha educator with clinics and projects in 3 continents
