Dr. Nicole Mires: Pekoe and Where's the Dream Team? 

Foundations of Facial Gua Sha & Facial Cupping is a gentle, educational course for anyone who wants to work with facial tools safely, thoughtfully, and without force.

Rather than focusing on cosmetic trends or dramatic results, this course teaches facial gua sha and cupping as circulation- and fascia-supportive practices grounded in anatomy, lymphatic flow, and nervous system awareness. You’ll learn how to use light pressure, correct direction, and simple tools to support comfort, fluid movement, and long-term skin health.

The course includes clear safety guidance, anatomy and directionality explained in plain language, step-by-step hands-on instruction, and guidance on choosing tools and mediums for home use. Sessions are designed to take just 10–15 minutes, emphasizing consistency over intensity.

This course is appropriate for beginners, sensitive skin, and anyone looking for a slower and respectful approach to facial care. Educational only; not a substitute for medical or dermatological treatment.
