Meet Katie
Honouring Ancient Wisdom, Supporting Modern Women
I’m Katie — an holistic therapist, energy practitioner, Gua Sha and Acupressure educator, and creator of The Skin Whisperers skincare range. I’m based in the historic city of Wells, Somerset, where I live with my husband and our two talented daughters.
My journey into healing began over 25 years ago, shaped by personal health challenges that led me to explore more intuitive, energy-led therapies. What started as a personal path soon became a calling: to help others restore balance, radiance, and emotional well-being — inside and out.
Over the years, I’ve trained with some of the world’s leading teachers in holistic health. From acupressure and Gua Sha to energy medicine and advanced facial techniques, everything I’ve learned is rooted in one mission:
To help you feel more connected, calm, and radiant — not just in your skin, but in your whole being.
I believe healing is both personal and layered. Whether you’re working with me in a 1:1 session, taking an online course, or using one of my oils or crystal tools, my approach blends ancient wisdom with modern insight to support your body, energy, and emotions.
When your nervous system is calm and your energy is flowing, the skin reflects that — and so does every part of your life.
Alongside treatments, I offer tutorials and courses to help you create your own rituals at home or in your business — guided, nourishing, and deeply restorative. Whether you're just beginning or looking to deepen your practice or career, everything I offer is designed to support healing from the inside out.
Because when you're in balance, everything flows — energy, emotion, and that unmistakable inner glow.
Join the Journey
If you're looking to reconnect with your inner glow, balance your energy, or learn the art of Gua Sha and holistic skincare, I’d love to guide you. Let’s embrace natural beauty and well-being together.

“Special doesn’t begin to cover what Katie Blake does, and who she is. This is proper healing: far more than just skin deep. Although the skin ends up looking pretty fabulous too! She is in a class of her own.”
Lynne Franks
“Katie Blake is truly a Medicine Woman. She is without question my favourite healer and beauty therapist, with her magic touch, even when guiding me through my treatments online.”
Lucy Pearman
“Katie is a wonderful trainer. From the moment I enrolled she was always quick to reply on email to any questions I may have had. The training manual is a wonderfully comprehensive document covering all you need to know on Gua Sha from its history, the benefits of Gua Sha, the different crystals to use and clear and very helpful videos of every technique you need to give a full Gua Sha facial.”
