The session begins with a detailed discussion about your complaint, relevant health history and your goals. When applicable, I will assess for your posture for imbalances in your pelvis, ankles, knees, shoulders. We also work to repattern your muscles towards optimizing your posture when sitting, standing and moving. The techniques you will learn will strengthen your intrinsic core muscles and when practiced will naturally be integrated into your daily life and repattern your body. A portion of the session includes therapeutic massage, cupping, gua-sha, trigger point techniques stretching, etc. At times, a session is comprised of only massage and bodywork.

Generally, you can expect 4-6 sessions to resolve one specific complaint provided you keep up with doing your exercises.

For assessment of your posture and certain active release techniques, you will be clothed. The massage portion feels best when you are disrobed and draped modestly with sheets.

Those marks are NOT bruises as no damage was inflicted upon the blood

vessels. These marks are the vestiges of toxins, cell waste, stagnant lymph, and blood. They fade away within a few hours to two weeks. The colors range from light pink to dark red and purple.

No. Under the hands of a skilled therapist, your cupping session should feel good!
