What to Expect
Cupping Therapy is a technique that uses gentle suction to lift soft tissue, improve fluid movement, and relieve tightness throughout the body. Our certified cupping therapists offer both static cupping (cups remain in place for deeper therapeutic effect) and dynamic cupping (cups glide smoothly across the skin), based on your specific needs.
Your session begins with a thorough consultation where you'll discuss your wellness goals with your therapist. This allows them to select the most appropriate cupping method and customize your treatment accordingly.
​
Cupping is often described as deeply satisfying and therapeutic. Many clients report immediate improvements in how their body feels and moves, with lasting benefits that extend well beyond the treatment session.
How it Works
Cupping creates controlled negative pressure that gently draws the skin and superficial fascia upward. This unique decompression effect promotes fresh blood circulation to areas of stagnation while encouraging the lymphatic system to efficiently drain metabolic waste and toxins.
Growing research supports cupping's effectiveness in reducing musculoskeletal pain, improving range of motion, and activating the parasympathetic nervous system to promote deep relaxation and healing. The technique works by reversing the typical compression forces our tissues experience, creating space for improved fluid dynamics and tissue mobility.
While temporary circular marks may appear with static cupping, these are not bruises but rather evidence of improved circulation bringing stagnant blood to the surface. These marks are painless and typically fade within 2-5 days. Your certified therapist will always assess for contraindications and adjust techniques to match your comfort level and therapeutic goals.
30-Minute Cupping Sessions

Facial: A gentle, lymphatic-focused session that targets facial puffiness, sinus congestion, jaw tension, and signs of fluid retention. Client often report softer, clearer skin and a more relaxed nervous system.
60-Minute Full Body Cupping
A comprehensive therapeutic session combining dynamic and static cupping techniques to address full-body tension, enhance circulation, and support overall recovery. This treatment is ideal for those seeking cupping benefits throughout the body, whether you have multiple areas of concern or simply want to experience the full restorative effects of cupping therapy.
