Structural Fundamentals
Develop your foundations in observation, tool handling, and facial treatment. Work with relationships across the scalp, neck, jaw, and face, learning a practical sequence you can apply with care and precision.
Learn in person through practical, closely supervised training with Clive Witham, creator of Ecology in Motion™.
Choose the two-day module that suits your experience, complete the four-day certification, or develop your skills through advanced integration.
From foundational facial work to advanced professional integration, each module combines clear teaching, practical application, and individual guidance.
Develop your foundations in observation, tool handling, and facial treatment. Work with relationships across the scalp, neck, jaw, and face, learning a practical sequence you can apply with care and precision.
Build on your existing facial training. Refine treatment around the orbital region, brow, and jaw, and develop your ability to observe, adapt, and make decisions across the face and its wider relationships.
Study both modules as one immersive four-day experience. Establish a sound practical foundation, progress into more complex facial work, and bring the two stages together in professional treatment.
Extend your decision-making for complex facial presentations, reactive skin, scalp and hair concerns, and treatment adaptation. Focus on thoughtful dosage, tissue response, and individual treatment planning.

We are planning additional in-person Facial Gua Sha training. Dates, modules, and venues have not yet been confirmed for the locations below.
Interested in attending? Tell us your preferred location and which Facial Gua Sha module you would like to study. We can contact you when details become available.
These are live, in-person professional courses. You learn through demonstration, extensive supervised practice, and direct feedback rather than watching a fixed treatment sequence alone.
Ecology in Motion™ brings observation, anatomy, technique, and treatment response into one approach. The aim is to help you understand what you are doing, why you are doing it, and when to adapt.
The modules are designed to develop practical treatment skills, not simply a collection of isolated techniques.
Develop clear, repeatable treatment skills with an understanding of relationships between the face and surrounding structures.
Deepen your understanding of facial patterns and learn to adapt techniques to the individual rather than following a sequence mechanically.
The combined course includes the full content of Modules I and II, progressing from core techniques to integrated professional application.
Work more precisely with complex presentations and learn when a lighter, slower, or modified approach is appropriate.
Clive Witham is an international Gua Sha educator, author of six books, and creator of Ecology in Motion™. His teaching draws on more than 25 years of professional practice and teaching, contemporary anatomy, classical Chinese approaches, and ongoing doctoral research.
Who can attend? These are professional courses for practitioners in relevant healthcare, bodywork, beauty, and wellness fields. Module II assumes prior foundational training. Module III requires completion of in-person Modules I and II, or equivalent previous live certification; online-only study does not meet that prerequisite.
Certification and CE: Course-specific certificates and any applicable continuing education hours are identified in the individual class information. The complete four-day I + II training has previously been offered with 32 NCBTMB-approved hours in the United States; confirm approval for the particular event before enrolling.
For practitioners seeking longer-term study, casework, supervised development, and a specialist pathway in Integrative Facial Gua Sha, explore the 12-month Diploma. Eligible previous live training may be recognized within the program.
