Learn to work smarter, not harder, to release your clients’ tension with scraping tools. Tracing its roots for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine, we will modernize this ancient therapy or “Gua Sha” or scraping to make it appropriate for today’s clinical application and the use of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. We place special emphasis on allowing the tool-rather than your muscles-to provide immediate pain relief, fascial reorganization, and increased circulation. And bonus features: discover how to leverage the power of gua sha for your own self-care. Nicole and Heath Reed are excited to connect and learn with you!

Together we will practice several scraping approaches on the back, shoulders, neck, legs, arms, and feet. Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, you will learn how to safely and effectively use Gua Sha tools to:
-release muscle pain and tension
-reduce stagnation and inflammation
-stimulate circulation
-promote overall well-being.

By the end of the class, you will have the knowledge and proficiency to incorporate Gua Sha into your own practice or offer it as a standalone service.

This class provides a supportive environment for both beginners and experienced practitioners seeking to expand their healing repertoire.

Enroll now in our Gua Sha workshop and embark on a journey of rejuvenation, therapeutic discovery, and holistic healing. Should you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
