Workshop Description:
Gua Sha is a traditional treatment for pain and a variety of ailments in China, Vietnam, Cambodia and elsewhere. The Lash Method, developed by Dr. Heather Lash, introduces a pain-free, systematic approach to applying Gua Sha. Dr. Lash’s success in treating patients supports the idea that less can be more. Less pain means clients are more likely to come back for more treatments!
