INITIAL VISIT Cupping Therapy (60min)

Service Description

Your first appointment is 60 min. We start with a 15-20 min discussion about the benefits of cupping, after-treatment care, and what imbalances could be worked on. I may record your pulse and heart rate. We then discuss what your treatment plan would look like. Then, you receive a 35 min cupping session. The cupping session is different depending on what you need at the time. I may use moxibustion or essential oils to assist in our goal. Afterwards we debrief and I answer any questions that may have come up. I use the Chinese Fire Cupping technique, and often 'moving cups', if I believe it would be beneficial. This method allows me to use sterilized glass cups and fire to create a seal onto your area of treatment. If I believe you would benefit from moving cups, I will apply a thin layer of coconut oil to the skin before placing the cups, and move them along your skin. Some benefits to cupping include clearing stasis, moving Qi, muscle relaxation, detoxification, and pain management.
