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.

What you’ll learn

  • The skin, lymphatic system, microcirculation, and meridians as they relate to Facial Gua Sha

  • Bones of the face, cranium, neck, shoulders, and upper body

  • How to plan and deliver Facial Gua Sha teacher workshops with confidence

  • Step-by-step Facial Gua Sha techniques — taught through the lens of teaching others

  • How to clean and care for your tools

  • Contraindications, health and safety, and teacher best practice

  • Wellbeing advice for working sustainably as a teacher

  • The Skin Whisperer's Facial Oils — how to incorporate them into your teaching

Whether you're an existing therapist, a holistic practitioner, or simply ready to share this work — this is more than a qualification.
