Facial Gua Sha Therapy
In 2020, Natarsha studied under Cecily Braden, the creator of Gua Sha Facial Fusion.
Gua Sha Facial Fusion is a rejuvenation therapy based on the traditions of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the profound cell renewal and life-sustaining importance of Manual Lymphatic Drainage for maintaining youth and vitality.
Gua Sha Facial Fusion therapy achieves immediately noticeable results in the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, dark circles, puffy eyes and sagging skin by combining a unique blend of facial massage therapies that clears noxious accumulation, releases deep-seeded tension and promotes the free flow of vital nutrients to feed the skin and repattern the way it ages.
By increasing movement through massage and restoring inner mobility, the skin is able to naturally clear deleterious obstructions that lead to acne, rosacea, puffiness, dark circles and sensitivities. Igniting this natural healing power, the skin flourishes, develops a fresh healthy glow that radiates from within and results in long-term benefits.
Gua Sha + Lymphatic Drainage is a next level facial therapy that brings about a fundamental change in the skin by clearing stagnation and accumulation in the channels, enabling the renewal of the lymph, activating circulation, stimulating cell activity and the regeneration of the facial tissue.
In 2020 Natarsha trained under Dr. Ping Zhang, the creator of the Nefeli Gua Sha Facial
Dr. Ping Zhang is an expert in anti-aging Traditional Chinese Medicine, a renowned acupuncturist, a certified herbalist, and massage therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience specializing in facial rejuvenation acupuncture, acupressure and Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Dr. Ping Zhang is the inventor of the anti-aging facial Gua Sha, namely, the Nefeli™ Gua Sha Facial which entails performing a restoring function to awaken the skin’s own healing ability to regenerate, firm and lift the whole face. It activates the inner vitality of the face in multiple levels: the facial fascia, the facial muscle, the different skin levels - all will be stimulated to create the youthful appearance of facial contours, smooth out winkles and lift sagging from neck and jaw line. Dr. Zhang’s techniques activate the acupuncture needle points and more without using needles. The health benefits include the promotion of lymph drainage, detoxing the channel system, restoring the normal Qi and blood flow of the facial area.
From an anti-aging perspective, it is not just a skin deep treatment for temporary effect. It is an energy workout to promote youth and balance from within. The technique must be performed with cream and its effect is optimized when combined with herbal infusion designed for the technique allowing the nutrients and healing power of the specialty beauty and medicinal herbs from the cream to be unleashed and delivered. Dr. Zhang’s specially designed Herbal Infusion system for Gua Sha is made for the treatment and proven to be very effective, supported by years of clinical experience.
