Cranial & facial Stone Medicine (gua sha)
Cranial and Facial Stone Medicine are therapeutic techniques that involve using a specialized tool to perform Gua Sha on the head and face. Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that uses a smooth-edged or jagged-edge tool to gently scrape the skin to promote circulation, release tension, and encourage the body’s healing responses.
Cranial Stone Medicine focuses on the scalp and head, using the Gua Sha tool to stimulate blood flow, relieve tension, and potentially address issues like headaches or tightness in the scalp muscles. Facial Stone Medicine, on the other hand, is specifically aimed at promoting circulation and rejuvenation of the facial skin. It involves using the Gua Sha tool on the face to encourage lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and enhance the overall appearance of the skin.
Both Cranial and Facial Stone Medicine are often used as holistic therapies to support relaxation, improve skin tone, and promote well-being.

Cranial treatments also support your overall well-being. Focusing on the skull and the connective tissues in the head and neck by gently manipulating these areas, we can release tension and promote alignment throughout your body.

Wear comfortable clothing. You will receive your treatment on a massage couch and will be draped throughout your treatment (with bolsters beneath your knees and ankles to support your lower back).
For some treatments, I may need to work your neck, shoulders, and upper chest. If this is the case (and you wear a bra) I will ask you to remove your bra or bra straps before I commence the treatment. You will be fully draped throughout any upper chest work which may be included in your treatment.
If you wear a necklace, please remove it before your treatment. If wearing earrings, it may be better to remove these before treatment as well.
