NEXT TRAINING DATE MARCH 10TH 2025
Accredited Gua Sha Face Massage Pro Training
Gua Sha Face Massage Pro Training is based on Traditional Chinese medicine protocols. The training incorporates elements of TCM face mapping, gua sha techniques on the face, neck and décolleté, acupressure points and meridians crossing the face, as well as lifting and sculpting techniques.
Why offer Facial Gua Sha Treatments?
Facial gua sha treats the skin and mind. It improves blood and oxygen flow in the skin by stimulating blood circulation to the muscles, tissues and organs.
Regular facial gua sha helps prevent acne breakouts by reducing clogged pores, it can reduce acne scarring and treat hyperpigmentation as it encourages new skin growth and will also allow the organic facial oils to penetrate deeper to nourish the skin. It encourages lymph drainage and reduces puffiness around the face as well as smoothens fine lines and wrinkles.
Qi, in traditional Chinese medicine, is referred as the life force, the energy that flows through everything. It can become blocked, causing pain, puffiness or tension in the muscles and joints of the face too. Qi must flow freely to ensure well-being and radiance. Gua sha massage aims to relieve stagnation and blockages of Qi.
Top 5 Reasons To Offer Gua Sha Treatments
Gua sha treatments have been gaining popularity in the beauty industry, and for good reason. Here are the top 5 reasons why a beauty therapist should offer gua sha treatments:
1. Enhances Skin Appearance and Health
Gua sha is renowned for its ability to improve the appearance and health of the skin. This technique promotes microcirculation, which can lead to a more radiant complexion. It also helps to reduce puffiness, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture by boosting collagen production. Your clients will love the natural glow and firmness they achieve from regular treatments.
2. Relieves Muscle Tension and Promotes Relaxation
One of the immediate benefits of gua sha is the relief of muscle tension. By using the gua sha tool to gently scrape the skin, you can release built-up tension in the facial muscles, leading to a more relaxed and youthful appearance. This not only helps with stress relief but also reduces the likelihood of tension-related headaches, making it a therapeutic addition to your service offerings.
3. Supports Lymphatic Drainage
Gua sha is highly effective in promoting lymphatic drainage. This process helps to eliminate toxins from the body, reduce swelling, and improve overall skin health. By incorporating gua sha into your treatments, you can help your clients achieve a clearer complexion and reduce issues like acne and congestion. It's a holistic approach that complements other skincare routines perfectly.
4. Offers a Natural, Non-Invasive Treatment Option
In a world where clients are increasingly seeking natural and non-invasive beauty treatments, gua sha stands out. It doesn't involve any chemicals, needles, or surgical procedures, making it a gentle yet effective option for those who prefer a more holistic approach to skincare. Offering gua sha can attract clients who are looking for safer and more natural alternatives to conventional beauty treatments.
5. Provides a Unique Selling Point (USP) and Differentiates Your Practice
With the growing interest in traditional Chinese medicine and holistic health practices, offering gua sha can set your beauty practice apart from others. It provides a unique selling point that can attract new clients who are curious about this ancient technique. Additionally, it demonstrates your commitment to offering diverse and innovative treatments, enhancing your reputation as a knowledgeable and versatile beauty therapist.
Incorporating gua sha into your services can not only improve your clients' skin health and overall well-being but also elevate your practice by offering a sought-after, effective, and holistic treatment option.

Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsLOVED my Jenny Nordic Gua Sha face massage class. I will be signing up again. Jenny was patient, lovely to work with and guided me through the face massage expertly in addition to sending me resources. My skin looked tighter and fresher after!
I love the way Jenny teaches the techniques of using the gua sha tool, she is very precise and calm and she explains all the step. Using this tool looks simple by watching tons of videos online, but in reality it's very easy to use it in the wrong way, so I really recommend following the flow taught by Jenny, so you don't make mistakes and get the natural lifting gua sha gives your skin.
My skin is very reactive , I tried all type of expensive brands, cleansers, toners, foams, creams and every time I use something my skin is ultra irritated. I had a gift set from my husband on Christmas from Jennynordic and it's the only cleanser I don't need an extra cleanser or leave my skin tight and dry. I'm m not going to switch to any other brand ever. Nothing to envy to any other Korean oil cleansers I tried previously, very good quality price in my opinion
I’ve been using this cleanser for around a year now, and love the way my skin is looking. Previously I’ve used quite “stripping” cleansers but now I use the oil and the serum and my skin definitely has a glow that it used to lack. Great product
I have just watched the workshop back as I was unable to attend in person and I have realised that I am not using the correct technique while practicing myself.
This is a must for anyone who wants to ensure that they are practicing correctly. Jenny has made it a very easy and relaxing routine to follow.
Just love the Ritual set. My skin is glowing, looks healthy and it makes me feel good. The trio are so easy to use and you only need small amounts of each, which makes it good value too. So glad I found Jenny Nordic, a little miracle for my 56 year old skin 🥰
This was the first Gua Sha workshop I attended after following some ebook guides and other materials I have come across online. I had a little bit of knowledge already, but this session was super helpful in getting many crucial things right that I have missed before.
Jenny is such a good instructor too, it was easy to follow and try out the method at the same time.
Just out of interest, I took before and after photos of myself and the change after just one time is huge! I have now committed in making this a longer experiment to see the long term effects too. After the session I immediately felt lighter, relaxed and refreshed and I could still feel the difference the following day.
Definitely recommend!
I've never used a Gua Sha tool before but after watching Jenny's amazing videos and seeing how great the results were, I knew I needed one. I've already seen a difference in my skin, it looks 'lifted'.
As someone who suffers with regular mini migraines, I use this tool to massage my forehead (pop it in the fridge first) and I find it really helps ease the tension. I also use it to reduce the tired eyes effect after an episode and it really helps. It's a fantastic price when you take in the fact that this will last you years and years and has multiple uses.
Amazing service and great product
I am so happy with this product, the scent is calming, the application satisfying and the results amazing. It is not a heavy serum so is soon ansorbed leaving my skin nourished and glowing. Such a find!
I have found this essence so easy to incorporate in my skincare routine. It absorbs quickly so there is no waiting to apply my moisturiser or serum. I am at the stage where my skin is affected by hormones (menopause) and would recommend this product along with other Jenny Nordic ones to women of a similar age
This cleanser made me fall back in love with oil cleansers! It feels so luxurious to use with a gorgeous light citrus scent. Removes all make up effortlessly and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowing after use.
I've been using the Essence since it was released. This is my second order. My skin has noticeably cleared up and is looking a lot smoother and radiant. People have commented on how much better my skin looks. I also find it really helps calm irritated skin too.
Glow & Revitalize is exactly what this face oil does! Ever since I started using Jenny Nordic's minimalist skincare routine (this Oil Serum alongside with Oil To Milk Cleanser and Beauty Essence), my skin has become better and better - hormonal acne has disappeared, skin is not dry even during the winter, skin feels smoother and healthier, makeup is not rolling/caking away anymore.. I use this Oil Serum mixed with a few drops of the Beauty Essence as the last step of my skincare routine (after cleansing + toner) every morning and evening. The ingredients are a jackpot, squalane, vitamins, probiotics all in one product. I wish I could buy a big big bottle of this Oil Serum, as I love it so much!
This beauty essence is a must have! Ever since I started using Jenny Nordic's minimalist skincare routine (this Beauty Essence alongside with Oil To Milk Cleanser and Oil Serum), my skin has become better and better - hormonal acne has disappeared, skin is not dry even during the winter, skin feels smoother and healthier, makeup is not rolling/caking away anymore.. The bottle is very long-lasting, since you only need 2-3 drops per use. I use this Beauty Essence mixed with the Oil Serum as the last step of my skincare routine (after cleansing + toner). The product is not sticky, it sinks into the skin fast, hydrates and heals, all promises delivered!
