What this course is
A Deeply Immersive Foundation in Body Gua Sha — In Person with Katie Blake
For therapists ready to work with the body in a more conscious, refined, and deeply attuned way.
More than a course, this is an experience of reconnection — to your hands, your awareness, and the subtle language of the body.
This intimate, in-person training offers a sophisticated foundation in Body Gua Sha, integrating acupressure, sound therapy, crystal work, and energy-based practices into a treatment approach that is deeply sensory, restorative, and transformative.
Held within a small, carefully curated group, Katie works closely with each student throughout — guiding you to embody the practice in a way that feels authentic, intuitive, and refined.
What you’ll learn
Foundations of Body Gua Sha and body massage
The energetic and therapeutic properties of Obsidian
Sound healing with Tibetan bowls and tuning fork applications
Anatomy, physiology, the meridian system, and key acupressure points
Working intuitively with body oils
How to perform a full, professional Body Gua Sha treatment
Cultivating a skin-intuitive, responsive approach to working with clients
Rooted in ancient wisdom, grounded in modern practice — this is more than a qualification.
