Workshops at Curam

Skincare can feel overwhelming with all the trends and products out there, right?

Our 2024 workshop roster is closed

We will resume workshops in the Spring 2025

See you then!

I’ve rarely seen gua sha facial massages performed correctly outside my training. It’s tough to watch it being done wrong, knowing it could lead to counterproductive results.

Did you know that if done correctly—understanding your meridian points, using the right stones, and performing the proper strokes—you could give yourself a 'natural facelift' every single day?!

My Gua Sha workshops are designed to teach you exactly that! Come just once, and you'll be equipped to give yourself natural face lifts for life! It's my version of 'teach a person to fish,' so you'll never have to rely on gimmicks again!

GLOW WITH GUA SHA!

Join our ongoing Gua Sha Workshops every Wednesday, Friday or Saturday and discover the powerful benefits of Gua Sha in a one-hour workshop!

I was recently telling a friend that as a budding esthetician, I already know that I won’t be chasing every skincare trend. My focus will be on a natural approach first, balanced with sensible science.

This is why I’m so drawn to Traditional Chinese Medicine and holistic treatments, and why they’re a key part of my practice.

It’s also the reason behind my Gua Sha Workshops.

Take home your very own Gua Sha kit which includes!

  • A black jade Gua Sha stone

  • A bottle of our “on-tap” Massage Oil

  • Disposable spa hairband

Expect this KEY takeaway:

  • Facial gua sha is fantastic because it targets your facial lymphatic system!

  • Simply put, it’s like giving yourself a mini facelift.

  • By stimulating your face's lymphatic nodes, you help flush out toxins, boost circulation and stimulate the collagen production under your skin👆🏾That part👆🏾That’s why we bother with this folks—collagen production! It’s the real deal, keeping your skin smooth, firm, and glowing with youthful radiance.

TCM

(Traditional Chinese Medicine)

Too often, alternative, non-Western or Eastern medicinal practices get westernized and watered down, losing their effectiveness and becoming gimmicky.

In this video, you see me effectively targeting my areas of concern. It’s hard to tell from the video, but I’m applying enough pressure to move lymph fluid stagnation from my face. I’m also using a few key movements that I’ll cover in the workshop. Also difficult to see (because melanin) is some “flushing” under my skin—this is a sign that the scraping techniques are working, boosting circulation, and promoting a healthy glow.

Highlights you can expect:

In the 1 hour workshop:

  • It’ll be just you and me in the relaxing setting of my studio.

  • We’ll be seated in front of a mirror as I guide you step-by-step through each gua sha movement.

  • You’ll follow my cues, mirroring my techniques as we work together.

Personalized Skin Analysis & Gua Sha Guide:

  • Receive a tailored plan on how often to practice, where to focus, and the best techniques to target your skin concerns.
