OVERVIEW

NAT Foundation in Gua Sha is organized by Niel Asher Education.

Gua Sha is a traditional therapeutic technique with deep roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, offering practitioners a structured way to support circulation, tissue comfort, recovery, and therapeutic care.

NAT Foundation in Gua Sha introduces the history, principles, assessment skills, therapeutic rationale, and practical techniques required to understand and apply Gua Sha safely within professional practice.

Presented by Dr. Constance Bradley, this course blends traditional Eastern perspectives with contemporary clinical understanding, helping holistic health practitioners develop confidence using Gua Sha across different areas of the body.

Course Overview
Across this 5-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore the historical and cultural significance of Gua Sha, its relationship to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and its therapeutic use in both traditional and modern healthcare settings.

The course emphasizes both the “why” and the “how” of Gua Sha practice. Students will learn the rationale behind treatment choices, assessment considerations, health benefits, and practical techniques for different body areas.

Through step-by-step demonstrations and structured learning, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how Gua Sha may be used to support clients experiencing pain, restricted circulation, inflammation, soft tissue tension, and related therapeutic concerns.

Supported by video education, a fully illustrated course workbook, companion course, lesson quizzes, online exam, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this program provides a practical foundation for integrating Gua Sha into professional therapeutic practice.
