The Skin Whisperers
Around me now there's a circle of therapists and teachers, trained, and training, who carry the same quiet intention into their work: to help the body release what it's been holding, and find its way back to balance. Some treat, some teach; all of them began here. And there's a place among them for you.
What you'll learn here goes beyond a set Gua Sha sequence. Katie teaches from years of working closely with the body, how tension builds, where it sits, what helps it shift. You'll understand the reasons beneath the movements, so you're reading what's in front of you and responding, rather than following steps. That's what it means to join the Skin Whisperers: an understanding that keeps deepening, not a routine learned by heart.
And it's that depth that lets you do the real work, helping someone release tension they've held for years, and feel like themselves again.
A few times a year we come together in person, at retreats and festivals, to share the work, treat alongside one another, and reconnect.
None of it happens alone. Every gathering is held together by a circle of people, the practitioners who teach and treat, and the support team who make the whole weekend possible.
To everyone who gives their time, their warmth and their care: thank you. You are part of this story too.
Where we last gathered: The Big Retreat, Pembrokeshire…
Our next gathering is The Big Retreat, Cambridgeshire, this September.
Where and when we meet is always shared with our community first.
In their own words
These are just three voices from the community.
"I'm so glad I took a leap of faith and stepped out of my comfort zone. The love and support from Katie and the other therapists was so welcoming. I left feeling I'd grown in confidence, and made so many connections and friendships."
Jo Baldwin, Lancashire
"It was so wonderful finally meeting everyone in person after all the Zooms and conversations online. I've genuinely made such beautiful connections with everyone."
Karen Betts, South East London
"The kindness and warmth from everyone was unexplainable. The connections made are a gift."
Kerri Anema, Norfolk
Train with me
Drawn to learn this work yourself?
Whether you want to bring it into your treatment room or teach it to others, this is where it begins.
Once you've trained
Everyone who trains with me has a home here: a space to deepen the work, connect with others on the same path, and keep growing long after the course ends.
If you've trained with me and you're not yet inside, request to join and I'll welcome you in.
