Origins and how it works
An ancient practice, seen through contemporary eyes
The origins of gua sha date back to the Paleolithic, when stones and rocks were used to relieve pain and symptoms. The practice as we know it today was born in East Asia, where rubbing the skin with different tools stimulates circulation: the skin, the body's largest organ, hosts a network of energy flows that gua sha awakens and unblocks. The result is a massage that reactivates the vitality of face and body, promotes microcirculation, releases muscular tension and relieves chronic complaints such as headaches, neck pain, insomnia or digestive difficulties.

Three reasons
Why gua sha deserves a high-value treatment
In Italy there is not yet an established gua sha tradition: what you find online is often fragmented or improvised. The course builds a solid, verified foundation.
The value of the treatment lies not in the material or the shape of the stone, but in the movement: that is the heart of the hands-on program.
In the West gua sha remains tied to the aesthetic field alone. The course also includes techniques to work on common complaints such as anxiety, insomnia, headaches, digestive difficulties or lack of concentration.
“The value of gua sha isn't in the stone. It's in the movement.”

International training in Facial Gua Sha
I deepened my knowledge of gua sha for face and body with Clive Witham, earning levels 1 and 2 of Ecology in Motion. In the course I pass on the same manual skill and the same listening I bring every day to my studio, with small groups so I can follow each trainee closely.

Ho frequentato il corso di Livello 1 e Livello 2 di massaggio lifting giapponese del viso con Nadia. Il corso prevede una prima parte online con la teoria generale, poi due giornate pratiche in presenza dove ogni dettaglio viene corretto e approfondito.

Ho fatto il corso con Nadia e sono veramente felicissima. Nadia è una persona veramente speciale come questo corso (diverso da tutti, quello che mi è piaciuto di più). L'ho percepito come un'arte, preciso, molto elegante e soprattutto che rispecchia la mia idea di benessere e cura della pelle. Ho apprezzato molto il fatto che il corso fosse composto da pochi partecipanti. Lo consiglierei sicuramente a chi vuole portare un servizio Premium ai propri clienti.
