- How to use Gua Sha4/21/2026
Heart shaped Gua Sha became almost fashion for a while now and you could see posts on Instagram using Gua Sha as a part of promoting their skin products.
But do you think they are actually using it properly?
Answer is not really ……
How to hold the Gua Sha is not correct most of the time and it looks you are just sliding it on your face without any proper intentions.
In February 2026, I was on a business trip to Egypt, where a friend of mine organised one day workshop.
I had an opportunity to show them how to use the Gua Sha on the face.
They were so good candidates and they were following my instructions step by step. Some of them even commented that they felt something shifting.
This is very important whether you are feeling your blood circulation or lymphatic system is encouraged. And understand the direction of the Gua Sha, where to hold or support with other hand etc….
You don’t want to pull the skin unnecessary as it may cause sagging later on, do you?
But to be honest with you, heart shaped Gua Sha is like accessories for me as if you want to work on the details, it is not good enough.
So, I am relying on my hands mostly.
Finally, Manual Lymph Facial Sculpting is popular as well as on body at my studio.
I hope to see many of you !

- Happy New Year1/16/2026
I just came back from Japan and it is good to be here in London.
In Japan, the first three days of the new year is very important to cerebrate with family.
We eat Osechi-ryori, which are traditional Japanese New Year Foods.
I have not been in Japan for the new year’s celebration since 2004 so that it was quite special for me to be there.
The first time, I offered my facial reflexology and face lift massage in Tokyo.
I was not sure if there were anyone would like to have a session but I was fully booked on the day.
All of them enjoyed seeing the positive results from the treatment but they seem never had this kind of treatments before.
What made them surprised was my treatment was not only beauty side but also inner health.
“Beauty and health are inseparable!”
I always think we need to treat both sides in order to have a positive result.
It is from a 360-degree perspective!
I hope to see many of you this year!
Thank you very much for reading my blog.
- Flying to Japan12/28/2025
I am flying to Tokyo without my daughter for the first time.
I feel very nervous as usual but this time is slightly different.
I have been thinking about my daughter how much she has achieved and really proud of her.
As I have been giving her a tough love, I just needed to express this time that I am truly happy to see her pursuing a new career.
I am now at the Heathrow airport and it’s the first time everything went so smoothly.
It’s not so crowded.
Apart from very hot inside the airport not like outside, it is really comfortable to sit here.
Suddenly I feel I am dehydrating and try to drink some water.
By the way, mineral waters were sold out at Boots.
My legs, of course, started feeling swelling already.
When I left home, my shoes were so loosen but it became so tight as there is no enough room for the feet to move.
I wish I could have a manual lymphatic drainage massage right now. Or having reflexology lymphatic drainage. So that my long flight would be much easier.
My advice for travelers, it would be good to encourage the lymphatic system before flying!
That’s what some of my clients visit me all these years.
Have a wonderful festive seasons, everyone 💙
