Cupping & Bodywork

Cupping and bodywork sessions are cultivated to be an integrative whole-body experience. By integrating a range of therapeutic modalities, I aim to provide a comprehensive treatment that goes beyond traditional massage.

Every session is a unique blend of practices tailored to your body’s specific needs. By weaving practices together, we address not only physical discomfort but emotional and energetic layers that contribute to it.

Therapeutic Modalities

  • Traditional Fire Cupping

    This ancient technique uses glass cups to create suction on the skin which lifts connective tissue and works to release muscle tension, improve circulation, detoxify the body and reduce inflammation.

  • Bodywork

    Bodywork techniques combine Tui Na and intuitive massage as well as somatic bodywork to promote deep relaxation, address pain and integrate body systems to encourage whole-body health.

  • Moxibustion

    Moxibustion involves burning a smokeless mugwort incense stick to apply heat to specific parts of the body. The gentle heat stimulates blood flow which can be effective for improving energy and relieving pain.

  • Somatic Integration

    Somatic Integration is all about connection. Through holds , guided awareness and gentle touch the body is tined into sensations and patterns of tension. This process can help release stored stress and emotions leading to a deeper connection with yourself.

    The fire is just used for removing oxygen from inside the cups. It will not touch you nor burn you.

  • Cupping can leave bruise-like marks on the skin. Not everyone will experience marking on the skin, but this does not mean cupping was not effective.

    5-10 days depending on your body and our goals for the session.

  • Please come dressed in comfortable clothing. You’ll be asked to remove your shirt so cups can be placed on the skin.

    If our session includes bodywork you’ll be asked to undress and will be covered with appropriate draping to allow for access to the body while maintaining boundaries.

    Please eat something before your session and arrive hydrated.

  • Muscle aches after sessions are very common. Since the body is working to detoxify itself and the work is deep, these aches usually last for a day after the session and open the body up to feeling better.
