About your tutor: Clive Witham
Entry requirements Anyone with an interest in the area is welcome - this is a great opportunity to learn directly from a pioneer in Gua sha.Holographic Gua sha: A Practical Introduction
This is a one day practical workshop open to everyone introducing how to treat with Holographic Gua sha. This course is rarely taught live so it is a unique opportunity to learn something new and enhance your skillset with one of the leading lights in the world of Gua sha.
Holographic Gua sha uses the knowledge of microsystems on areas of the body such as the scalp, back, feet and bones to make changes to the body connective tissue and circulation system. This class will give you a solid understanding of the principle of holographic imaging and how each of the featured microsystems work with Gua sha, and will also show you the specific techniques and approaches involved in treating them efficiently and safely.
The focus of this course is on practical skills that were refined in the clinic and can be used straight away to give real life treatments both professionally and at home. This means that throughout the day you get to try out all the ideas and techniques, so that by the end, you will have a solid basis from which to confidently treat using Holographic Gua sha.
There will be numerous demonstrations and ample time for questions and answers as well as supervised practice sessions.
