Michael Eric Everson – Gua Sha Face Massage Certificate Course (1 CE) (Download)
Stress, poor sleep, and environmental factors visibly age our skin, creating tension, puffiness, and dullness that conventional skincare can’t fully address. Gua Sha facial massage offers a natural solution—an ancient Chinese healing technique that stimulates circulation, drains lymphatic buildup, and releases facial tension without invasive procedures or harsh chemicals.
Course and Instructor Overview
Michael Eric Everson, a Manual Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist, and Yoga Teacher, presents this worldwide bestselling Gua Sha Facial Massage Certificate Course. As an NCBTMB Approved Continuing Education Provider, Everson brings clinical expertise and holistic wellness principles to facial massage training.
This two-hour program combines traditional gua sha with acupressure and manual lymphatic drainage into a comprehensive treatment approach. Students receive a 43-page illustrated PDF guide, lifetime course access, and eligibility for a continuing education certificate upon completion.
What You’ll Master
The course centers on a professionally designed facial massage sequence available in both 15-minute and 30-minute formats. You’ll learn the fundamental differences between facial and body gua sha techniques, understanding how gentle facial application differs from traditional body treatments.
Facial anatomy instruction covers muscle structure, acupressure meridians, and energetic pathways across the head and face. This foundation helps you understand why specific strokes and pressure points produce therapeutic effects—from improved skin tone to reduced inflammation and enhanced elasticity.
Tools and Techniques
Practical modules guide tool selection and maintenance, comparing jade stone versus rose quartz properties and introducing stainless steel options. You’ll discover proper cleaning protocols, oil selection for different skin types, and how temperature therapy using hot and cold tools amplifies treatment benefits.

Demonstration videos with music provide both professional treatment examples and a guided self-care routine you can practice immediately.
