In this exclusive video tutorial, Qi beauty founder Kathy Pedersen guides you through the foundational principles of assessing skin holistically using the Qi beauty Method of excess and deficiencies. Combining any standard skin cleansing routine with advanced observational techniques, this course teaches practitioners how to identify signs of internal imbalances through skin behavior, texture, tone, and response. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and energetic skin science, this narrated session reveals how to distinguish excess and deficiency patterns, understand the language of the skin, and integrate holistic diagnostic cues into every client treatment. Practitioners will learn how to elevate their assessments beyond the surface — making every cleanse a diagnostic opportunity. This course is essential for those who want to deepen their understanding of the Qi beauty philosophy and deliver treatments that are both personalized and energetically aligned.
