Gua sha: (pronounced gwah-shah) is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth tool—often made of jade, rose quartz, or stone. The word “gua” means to scrape, and “sha” refers to the temporary redness or light markings that appear on the skin, showing that circulation has been stimulated.
This therapy has been practiced for centuries in Chinese medicine to relieve tension, move stagnant energy (qi), and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Relieves Muscle Tension & Pain
Improves Circulation
Boosts Immunity
Supports Natural Healing
Facial Gua Sha for Rejuvenation

Moxibustion is an ancient healing therapy from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses the gentle heat from burned mugwort (called “moxa”) applied at specific acupoints on the body. It’s used to warm cold, invigorate the flow of Qi & blood, strengthen the body, reduce pain, support immune health, and promote recovery.
Key benefits:
Pain relief — heating acupoints can help reduce chronic pain, neuropathic pain, joint stiffness.
Immune support — boosts immune cell activity, helps regulate inflammatory responses.
Digestive, urinary, gynecological benefits — support for conditions like urinary incontinence, regulation of menstrual discomfort, aiding digestion.
Cancer support & side-effect reduction — alleviates side effects of chemotherapy/radiotherapy, such as nausea or fatigue; may enhance general well-being.
Circulatory & thermal regulation — improved blood flow, warming of cold limbs or cold sensations; helps expel “cold/damp” in TCM paradigms.

Compassionate coaching for whole-body wellness
What is Health Coaching?
Health coaching is a collaborative process that empowers individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. A health coach helps clients clarify their goals, uncover what may be holding them back, and create sustainable action steps to improve nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and overall lifestyle. Unlike traditional advice-giving, health coaching is about guiding and supporting lasting behavior change through accountability, education, and motivation.
With this integrative approach, health coaching at Dao Integrated Health becomes a bridge between knowledge and action, ensuring that patients not only learn what to do for their health—but actually achieve it and sustain it.
