Not sure if you're doing facial Gua sha right? Let me kick start you with this 12 module introductory video course to show you how it's really done based on Traditional Chinese medicine. There are 25 videos (2 hours 45 min) + 37 text/PDF files + a personal one-to-one tutorial with best-selling author, Clive Witham.
Learn the real basis of Facial Gua sha!
Hello. I'm Clive and I built this to show you how simple ideas from Chinese medicine can transform how you treat worry lines, frown lines, saggy eyelids, crow's feet, eye bags, dark rings under the eyes, bunny lines, smile lines, lip lines, double chin, jowls and platysmal bands!
This isn't your average aesthetics course!
Let me put my hands up right from the start and say I'm not an esthetician. I'm not approaching Facial Gua sha from the world of beauty. It's the other way round! I'm coming to beauty from the world of traditional Chinese medicine and the exciting thing about this is that I don't only show you how treat the face - but how to use the whole body to treat the face too! I don't talk about creams, or oils or lymph nodes or what you might get in upteen online videos. Instead, I base everything on tried and tested methods and ideas from Chinese medicine and as practised over 20 years in my clinic.
Learn with confidence!
I've sold more than 25,000 books in 5 languages, have run a busy 5-treatment-room clinic in North Africa and a Gua sha Center in Barcelona. If you want to learn about Gua sha, real Gua sha based on Chinese medicine, not some hybrid, invented facial massage-type technique, click the button and come and join me!

THEN THIS VIDEO COURSE IS FOR YOU!
NOTE: If you are looking for a facial Gua sha course which is rubbing some cream on your face, and doing lifting motions while repeating banal explanations of toxins, chakras and massage mantras, then this is NOT the course for you! Really, it just isn't. There are too many dubious claims and all round hot air floating around the internet and you can just make any wild thing up, do a video, hype it up and take people's hard-earned money.
My approach to Gua sha is to always stand on solid ground. Firstly because I base everything I do on Traditional Chinese medicine and in particular I try to base as much as possible on the oldest known text of Chinese medicine. And secondly because I use the evidence-base of modern Gua sha research to refine and expand on how we can best use Gua sha esthetically.
In this way you get the security and confidence that everything that you do with Gua sha is based on an advanced understanding of natural science and good practice.
So, let's get back to it! This introduction is for people who REALLY WANT TO KNOW what they are doing and why in terms of Chinese medicine with facial Gua sha and to make lasting changes to the face.

What participants say about the course
OMG what a difference! I was doing Gua Sha but not YOUR way and nothing was happening. I accidentally come across your name, liked what you said about treating the body in order to treat the face as it all connected was like a light bulb going off in my head. Big thank you. Clive
S.Eade
Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your facial Gua Sha Course. The results are so amazing in terms of general wellbeing as well as the lovely glow and lift it achieves on the face. I'm so pleased that I took your course and will be introducing the protocols into my salon treatments as soon as I can.

EnrolFAQ
What's the difference between this course and the Facial Gua sha Certificate level 2 course?
This facial course is part of my Basics series of Gua sha skills. Like others in this series, it gives a basic, practical overview of Gua sha allowing you to get straight into my way of using Facial Gua sha and use it without any fuss!
The level 2 certificate course is much longer and more in depth and gives you the theoretical background and practical skills to take Facial Gua sha to a whole new level. In order to take the level 2 course you need to first complete level 1 which gives you the foundation for all the things you look at in level 2. It also reveals an ecological way of looking at the body and the face based on Chinese medicine and will I'm sure, open up a whole new world for you!
