Our holistic personal training combines:
• Eastern-inspired bodywork & breath practices

🌿 Safety Tips for Gua Sha Massage

Gua Sha can be deeply supportive for tension, circulation, and overall well-being — when practiced safely.
Here are a few essentials to keep in mind:

✔ Avoid broken or irritated skin
Gua Sha should never be applied over cuts, rashes, active acne, or inflammation.

✔ Inform your therapist of any medical conditions
This helps tailor the session for your body’s needs.

✔ Use moderate pressure
More pressure is not more effective. Gentle, intentional strokes prevent bruising and support healthier tissue response.

✔ Stay hydrated before and after treatment
Hydration helps your body process metabolic and circulatory shifts.

✔ Follow practitioner guidance on frequency
Your body needs time to integrate. Too much too often can overload sensitive tissues or the nervous system.

Studies suggest Gua Sha can improve microcirculation, reduce inflammation, and support musculoskeletal health. Participants in clinical trials often report reduced pain and increased mobility after sessions, highlighting the therapeutic potential.

We move on machines and in isolated spaces —
separated from each other, from nature, from rhythm.
Movement becomes something to do,
instead of something to feel.
It turns into work.
A task.
A way to fix or burn or control.
But movement was never meant to be that rigid.
It’s meant to be alive — relational, curious, playful.
A way of being in conversation with the world around you.
Come back to movement as connection,
not correction.
