Cost per student is $45
In this comprehensive and experientially driven home study course, we’ll discuss the history and physiological benefits of cupping, while emphasizing over 3 hours of hands-on practice of cupping massage. Also included is a self-care qigong practice that helps therapists feel their best before and after sessions, and also grows therapists’ body awareness and ability to sense more deeply.
Cupping can be utilized as a standalone treatment, be inserted into any session as an add-on, or be focalized for effective localized pain relief! Because many massage insurance providers do not cover the classic TCM cupping method using glass cups with a fire-lit, alcohol drenched cotton ball, we’ll be relying on pliable silicone cups. Bring in your own set of silicone cups or purchase your own by clicking here.
