TREATMENTS / GUA SHA
Gua Sha
Fluid strokes that loosen surface tightness and let tired tissue breathe.
Ease for everywhere you hold your stress.
Gua sha glides a polished-edged tool — classically jade or horn — across oiled skin to free the neck, shoulders, and back where strain settles. The method wakes up local circulation and interrupts the tightness loop behind headaches and jaw gripping.
The facial version works at a whisper of pressure to drain sinus stuffiness, soften a clenched jaw, and leave skin looking rested and luminous.

How an appointment unfolds
Reading the tension
Palpation traces the taut bands across your neck, shoulders, or jawline.
Unhurried strokes
The tool travels one way over oiled skin — grounded on the back, featherlike on the face.
Freer and lighter
Heads turn further and breaths run deeper before you even leave the table.
Questions we hear often
Will it mark my skin?
Body gua sha can raise a passing flush (sha) that clears within two to five days — a normal sign of release rather than injury. Facial work stays feather-light and marks nothing.
What responds best to it?
Stubborn neck and shoulder knots, tension headaches, jaw gripping, a stiff neck at the start of a cold, plus facial puffiness and sinus pressure.
Does it pair with acupuncture?
Beautifully — gua sha opens the surface first, then needles anchor the shift. It ranks among our most requested pairings.
