Holographic Guasha workshop
Palpation, the art of physical examination through touch, is widely recognized as an essential diagnostic tool in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, despite its importance, this skill is often underemphasized and rarely taught in a hands-on, practical manner. This workshop seeks to address that gap by offering an immersive and interactive learning experience, focusing specifically on the foundational techniques of palpation—particularly belly (hara) palpation.

Facial Guasha for Self-care
Clive is a world leader in Facial Gua sha and usually teaches EIM Facial Gua sha at a professional level in major cities all over the world but this is a rare chance to learn directly from him in this one day class on how to use Facial Gua sha on yourself as part of your health and beauty routine.

Hara diagnosis - the basics
Here is what some past participants have said about Deborah's teaching:
"Deborah's teaching is always an exciting journey through a deep exploration of aspects of Chinese medicine. Her knowledge and passion for the subject shine through each series of lectures and her enthusiasm is contagious. Deborah is sensitive to her audience and designs her lectures so they are accessible for everyone. I always look forward to learning with Deborah and leave with new insights and lots to reflect on!"
"Deborah has a love and a global view of her subject which inspires her to draw together the circular threads of knowledge for each topic she immerses herself in. She creates a field of colour, sounds, flavours and visuals allowing you to hear and see and take in knowledge using all your senses and gives it a depth and richness. She is entertaining whilst educating. There is always something significant and resonant to incorporate at whatever level your understanding of Chinese medicine resides."
"Deborah has an in depth theoretical and practical knowledge, and knows how to use it in her teaching. She combines her knowledge of Classical and modern texts with her study of the Chinese characters, and by this she is able to depict and explain complex concepts in the most simple and straightforward way- without losing any depths or important meaning. If you are thinking of attending one of her CPDs, stop thinking and book it already, you will not regret it."
