my chronic illness clinic
"La Casa del Bienestar"
Melilla is one of two Spanish enclaves nestled along the North African coast, and it's by far the most isolated. Surrounded by Morocco and near to the Algerian border, its geographical position is distinctive to say the least.
Situated in the heart of the city, our clinic comprised five dedicated treatment areas, frequently bustling with patients.
The enclave's one public hospital grappled with overcrowding and insufficient funding, while the performance of local clinic medical staff often fell short of expectations. Consequently, a significant number of our patients arrived bearing the burden of long-term chronic illness.
Across 10 years I treated many individuals, some of whom were medical staff themselves. And for three of those years, I conducted an in-depth study of the application, techniques, and results of 3205 Gua sha treatments which I performed in the clinic on a total of 430 patients.
The conditions I encountered were vast and varied, but the most prevalent were joint pain, fibromyalgia, fatigue, back pain, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
The weight of responsability of improving the quality of life of those who had been let down by the medical system pushed me on to research, study, and delve deeper than ever before. It was during my time in this extraordinary yet challenging setting that I honed the techniques I'd like to share with you today.

"If you suffer from an invisible condition which nobody can determine what it is, this is the place to go. Clive treats you with compassion and respect, listens to you and believes your symptoms and will have solutions which actually work."

Maribel, Office Worker
"It has helped me with the muscular tensions and injuries that I had, restoring mobility and feeling more relaxed in general in all aspects. After treatment I feel like I wake up from a great restful sleep, recharged with energy and without any tension."
Teresa, Teacher
"I tried countless pills and remedies, but nothing seemed to work. Clive has significantly reduced the frequency and intensity of my migraines. I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy life again without the shadow of migraines looming over me."
Mohammed
"I have a chronic digestive problem, since I was treated, I feel much better not only in my digestive problem but also in terms of stress levels. Clive is a marvelous professional, with many years experience."

What Can You Achieve?
GUA SHA IS SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK.
Gua sha is often overlooked and denied the spotlight, deemed as supplementary treatment, that be due to either a general misunderstanding of its practices or its lack of coverage in conventional Traditional Chinese Medicine education.
We can trace this general ignorance surrounding the subject to Gua sha's humble and folkloric bloodline. Gua sha and even its counterparts in other areas of Asia - like Kerokan in Indonesia - are toolsets of knowledge and techniques passed down orally from generation to generation. These practices are rooted in family or local traditions rather the esteemed halls of the Literati, where practices are meticulously documented. Consequently, systematized compliations of knowledge, which form the backbone formal education is built upon, are scarce to come across.
But the reality is that Gua sha is a standalone treatment. It earned its stripes in the trenches of 16th and 17th century China battling febrile disease, and withstood the test of time. And coupled with the secrets of the Huangdi Neijing and a modern understanding of its effects, it is truly like unlocking cheat mode.
The level of change you can bring about with Gua sha is, in my experience, unparallelled.
how is it different to acupuncture or massage?
One of the main things that differentiates Gua sha are the effects that derive from the very distinctive red marks (sha) that are produced after the unique "scraping" takes place. And no, those marks are not toxins or bad energy. The sha marks, also known as petechiae, are blood cells which have leaked into the extravascular space beneath the skin due to the dynamic pressure applied by the Gua sha tool.
The secrets or magic of Gua sha's effctiveness actually lies in the way our bodies reacts to sha. That discoloration is actually telling you exactly why Gua sha is different. The sha is transformed by the body over the following days in a process that results in the release of enzymes, chemicals, and anti-inflammatory agents that have a noticeable effect on reducing inflammation and enhancing immunity.

Summary
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the Komorebi Institute for Gua sha?
Because I am not just some opportunistic influencer riding a trend. I live and breath Gua sha. I've been treating my two sons since they could fit in my arms, and I've extended that care to thousands of patients all over the world. Countless hours of clinical experience, deep dives into ancient Chinese texts, and staying on top of the latest studies—this is what I bring to the table. I will promise you one thing: what you'll learn in our courses goes beyond anything you've ever learned in other Gua sha courses.
How does the course contribute to professional growth?
Led by renowned Gua sha expert Clive Witham, this Gua sha course bridges the gap between anatomy and natural science, providing you with the knowledge to tap into the body's natural rhythms and circulation system. By applying the intricate patterns observed in nature to the human body, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the body's inner workings. This Gua sha course will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to perform Gua sha treatments with precision, efficiency and effectiveness. Learn how to use the right tools, safely administer treatment, and adapt your approach for both acute and chronic health conditions. This Gua sha course is about setting you up to achieve tangible results, leaving clients happy and transformed.
How much time can I expect to spend per week?
The entire program is broken down into easily consumable knowledge bombs. So you can work on it whenever you have time whether you invest 10 minutes per day or 3 hours — it's totally up to you. I recommend consuming one or more lessons each day and then implementing it before moving on.
What are the payment options?
The payment system uses two well-known and secure payment methods - PayPal and Stripe for Credit/Debit Card payments. All prices and payments are in US dollars.
If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card, you can contact me to arrange another payment method by simply sending me an email.
Can I access the program with mobile devices?
Yes! The entire program is entirely mobile responsive and can be accessed on all devices.
Is it for me even if I'm not working with Clients yet?
Absolutely. The earlier you learn the strategies and ideas, the better.
Many therapists get bad habits early on and try to understand what they're doing based on wrongly applied ideas. Ideally it's best to start with the right strategies and methods before using them on clients.
Where can I ask questions or get help?
You can contact me direct at clive@komorebi-institute.com or at george@komorebi-institute.com
What makes your approach different from other Gua sha courses?
My approach, Ecology in Motion™ Gua sha, is a unique blend of ancient Chinese medicine, natural science, and modern biology. It's about understanding the intricate web of connections within the face and body's biomatrix. This method empowers you to not only grasp the intricacies of these connections but also to actively engage with them. We manipulate the fascial, muscular, and circulatory landscapes to bring about real and meaningful change to the face and body.
Do I need to show up at a particular time?
You do not need to show up. I designed the program so you can learn entirely at your own pace. So if you're not available right from the beginning because you're going on vacation or have a lot going on, you won't miss anything.
100% of the course materials are pre-recorded and available in your Member's Area anytime you want to access them. And, because you have lifetime access to the course materials, you can learn at your own pace (or review any part of the course again).
Can I pay in different currencies?
You can pay with your local credit card or PayPal account, even if you only have US dollars or another currency.
The currency will be automatically converted to US dollars at the checkout with no additional conversion cost to you. It doesn't matter where you live or which currency you have—you can join the program without issues.
There are online currency converters if you need to check the price in your local currency.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, there are short tasks and quizzes in some modules and there is a final exam in which the pass mark is 70%. On completion of passing this final exam and a practical video assessment, you will be awarded a certificate in Ecology in Motion™ Facial Gua sha Foundation (Online).
