Elevate Circulation. Release Stagnation. Restore Balance.
Cupping therapy involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction promotes blood flow, helps draw out toxins, and encourages the release of deeply held muscle tension. The result is a powerful reset for the body’s circulatory, muscular, and energetic systems—leaving you feeling lighter, more mobile, and deeply relaxed.

A Unique Experience Rooted in Tradition
Cupping is both therapeutic and deeply relaxing. You may feel a gentle pulling sensation as the cups lift the skin and fascia—stimulating healing from the inside out. While mild discoloration may appear where cups are applied (a sign of stagnant blood or toxins being brought to the surface), this typically fades within days and is often a sign of effective treatment.
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping is a holistic therapy that uses vacuum suction—via glass, silicone, or plastic cups—to stimulate circulation and draw stagnant fluids and energy to the skin’s surface for release. It can be static (cups left in place) or dynamic (gently glided across oiled skin), depending on your needs.
Common Questions About Cupping Therapy
What does cupping feel like?
Most clients describe it as a combination of suction and deep warmth. While the sensation can be intense at first, it quickly gives way to a soothing release as tension melts away.
How often should I get cupping therapy?
For chronic issues or detoxification, weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be recommended. For general wellness, monthly sessions can help maintain balance and vitality.
Who can benefit from cupping?
Cupping is ideal for athletes, desk workers, stress-prone individuals, and anyone with muscle tightness, fatigue, or sluggish circulation. It’s also a powerful addition to anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting wellness routines.
Will I see marks after my session?
It’s common to notice round, red or purple marks where cups were placed—these are not bruises, but signs of toxins and stagnation being released. They usually fade within a few days.
Is cupping therapy safe for everyone?
Cupping is safe for most people but may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions, bleeding disorders, or who are pregnant. During your consultation, we’ll tailor your session to ensure it’s both safe and effective for your unique needs.
