Advanced Skin Whisperer Trainers

My Advanced Teachers are based across the UK and abroad, each trained directly under me and carrying that same standard out into the world. Wherever you are, you can train with someone who teaches exactly as I do.

One of my missions is to share these wonderful therapies and teachings with as many people as possible, allowing students to learn from highly trained teachers wherever they are based.

Many of my teachers also speak additional languages, making learning more accessible if English is not your first language.

Katie Blake

Katie is the original Skin Whisperer and trains from her home town near Wells, Somerset, UK. She trains online, in person 1 to 1 and in small groups.

With more than 25 years as an holistic therapist, she teaches in a warm, unhurried way, holding space for both the technique and the heart behind it.

Katie's skills are broad, taking in facial and body Gua Sha, acupressure and energy healing. She draws on each where it is needed, rather than working to one fixed method.

What runs through all of it is a simple intention: to help people release the emotional and physical pain they carry, and to pass that same warm, grounded way of working on to the therapists she trains.
