What this course is
Become a Certified Facial Gua Sha Teacher with Katie Blake's Foundation Teacher Training
Or simply add a grounded, accredited teaching qualification to your existing practice.
This fully accredited teacher training certifies you to teach Facial Gua Sha to groups and individuals worldwide.
Designed to guide you into teaching in a way that feels grounded, ethical, and aligned, this training combines traditional Facial Gua Sha techniques with modern therapeutic understanding — offering a clear and professional pathway into teaching.
Especially well suited to those already working in complementary practices — face and body yoga, Qigong, sound healing, meditation, or other holistic therapies — this is a natural extension to what you already offer.
Some students simply come to deepen their own practice. That's welcome too.
