From £50

Guasha or 'Gua Sha' is a traditional Chinese therapeutic technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool, often made of materials like jade, rose quartz, or stainless steel. The term "Gua Sha" itself comes from two Chinese words: "Gua," meaning to scrape or rub, and "Sha," referring to a type of stagnant energy or blood. The practice aims to stimulate blood circulation, promote healing, relieve tension, and improve overall well-being.

Intra-oral Massage also referred to as Buccal is a specialised face massage method that uniquely targets both the exterior and interior of the oral cavity to provide a comprehensive treatment for facial tension and muscle release. This technique focuses on the deep tissues within the cheeks, jaw, and around the lips by manually manipulating the muscles and tissue from both sides.

Facial cupping represents a time-honoured tradition with roots that extend deep into history. The practice entails the strategic deployment of suction cups across various facial regions, skillfully elevating and elongating the subcutaneous fabric with a deliberate and gentle touch. The act of suction, the linchpin of this ancient ritual, serves a profound purpose - to galvanize the flow of "qi," a quintessential Chinese term that signifies the very essence of vitality and life force.
