Train live in New York City with Clive Witham.
Blending ancient Chinese wisdom of nature, modern anatomy, and holistic wellness for truly integrative esthetics


Most practitioners see the face as isolated skin, treating only wrinkles, puffiness, or dullness but they miss the hidden patterns caused by the body, emotions, and environment. This leaves results temporary, inconsistent, and frustrating for both you and your clients.
In this 4-day live training, you’ll learn to uncover these hidden influences and treat the root causes, so your clients experience real, lasting transformation.







Are you ready to elevate your holistic beauty or wellness practice with a revolutionary approach that goes beyond surface-level skincare?
This September, join bestselling author and educator Clive Witham for a 4-day live, in-person certification training in New York City— where you will explore Ecology in Motion, a groundbreaking system that redefines how you assess and treat the face and body through the ancient art of Gua sha.
What Is EIM Integrative Esthetics?
Integrative esthetics is the art and science of blending time-honored techniques—like Gua sha and the Ecology in Motion (EIM) approach—with contemporary skincare, anatomy, and holistic health practices. This ensures every treatment supports both visible beauty and deep, lasting wellness.
Benefit List:
• Addresses the root causes of skin and wellness concerns, not just symptoms
• Combines ancient and modern methods for optimal, long-lasting results
• Supports both immediate beauty and long-term health
• Empowers practitioners to offer comprehensive, client-centered care

Forget cookie-cutter facials. This training empowers you to see the face as a living, breathing ecosystem — a dynamic landscape of muscles, fascia, circulation, and river pathways. You’ll learn to perform a complete facial and body assessment that identifies root imbalances, stagnation, and tension with precision.
Through this method, you’ll map your client’s unique “terrain,” understand their internal landscape, and apply targeted Gua sha techniques that restore balance, vitality, and radiant health.

Most trainings leave you wondering if you're really prepared to treat clients.
Mine doesn’t.
If, within 14 days of completing the 4-day EIM™ Facial Gua sha course in New York City, you don’t feel fully ready to use it in your treatment space, you’ll receive a private 1:1 troubleshooting session with Clive - free of charge.
This guarantee reflects our total confidence in your ability to learn and succeed.
A gift for younand your circle of care.
So many of my students tell me they wish they had someone nearby to practice with, or simply to receive the healing power of Gua sha themselves. As therapists and practitioners, we’re always giving to others, yet research shows over half of us neglect our own self-care and regular treatments. That’s why I created the Practice Partner Bonus: to give you both the gift of connection, wellness, and something truly special.

The ground-breaking EIM Ecosystem Audit™ is a structured, intuitive approach to reading, interpreting, and restoring the face and body as interconnected natural systems—rooted in East Asian medicine, the natural world, and modern esthetic needs.
Rather than chasing symptoms (like puffiness or dull skin), you’re identifying the root imbalances in the terrain—and then guiding the system back to harmony through touch, tools, and therapeutic presence.
You assess the face like a topographic map:
🌀 Stagnant zones (dullness, congestion, puffiness) = blocked riverbeds or muddy valleys
🌲 Tension patterns (jaw clenching, brow tightness) = overgrown forests or weathered cliffs
🏜 Lack of tone or sagging = depleted earth or dry fields.
Using Gua sha tools with precision strokes, you:
🌿 “Unblock rivers” (clear obstruction)
🌿 “Nourish forests” (stimulate circulation & fascia)
🌿 “Restore soil” (replenish and nourish areas of collapse).
Each technique is chosen based on what the landscape needs to heal, not based on a pre-set routine.
You’re not just treating “beauty issues” - you’re rebalancing physiological flow using facial access areas.
Forget cookie-cutter facials that leave you guessing why results fade. This training teaches you to see the face as a living ecosystem so you can identify and resolve the root causes of persistent skin and wellness issues.
You’ll learn to solve the problems that frustrate most practitioners:
- Stagnant or dull skin persists? → Learn to map stagnation and restore circulation.
- Clients return with puffiness, congestion, or tension? → Read fascia patterns and rebalance flow.
- Results feel temporary or unpredictable? → Address hidden emotional and environmental factors for lasting transformation.
- Unsure how to connect body, face, and mind? → Perform a full Ecosystem Audit to see the face as a dynamic, interconnected system.
Through targeted Gua sha techniques and the Ecology in Motion framework, you’ll guide your clients’ systems back into balance - from the inside out - and create results that truly last.
Many trainings leave you uncertain about treating clients or helping to resolve stubborn face-related issues.
Our 4-Day Client-Ready Guarantee ensures you leave confident and capable.
Complete Levels 1 & 2 of EIM™ Facial Gua sha in New York City and leave with the skills, confidence, and support to start treating clients right away. If you don’t feel ready, you’ll receive a private 1:1 troubleshooting session - free of charge.
