Gentle and holistic approach to enhancing your overall wellbeing
Cupping
What Is Cupping?
Vacuum cupping is a therapeutic technique that utilises a vacuum force created using a small silicone or plastic cup applied to the skin’s surface. It’s main aim is to improve blood flow to specific areas of the body. It can also help to remove toxins from tissues and reduce pain as a result.
Cupping is a form of chinese medicine and can facilitate the flow of “qi” meaning energy. It can help balance yin and yang which is thought to help the body fight pathogens, increase blood flow and reduce pain. It can leave you with what look like bruises in the shape of circles. This is however the blood that has been brought towards the surface of the skin and out of stagnant muscles.
How Can Cupping Benefit You?
- Pain Relief: By promoting blood flow and flushing out toxins such as lactic acid and uric acid.
- Reduce inflammation: By promoting blood flow.
- Boost immunity: By improving blood flow and stimulating the nervous system creating local short term inflammation.
- Abdominal pain: Using the cups in circular motions over the abdomen promotes movement through the digestive tract.
Is Cupping Right For You?
Cupping is used to complement other forms of therapy to promoting healing and reduce pain. Best avoided if you take blood thinners, skin conditions, varicose veins.

Testimonials That Speak Volumes
First CST (Craniosacral therapy) session - I think I was aware of it for babies but this was new for me. Subtle and intense, a release of stress, tension, pressure. What I thought was 15-20 minutes was over an hour. Katie - a calm, professional presence as always.
I am so thankful I found Katie.
As I was in a dark desperate place and felt my TMJ/Trigeminal Neuralgia was ruling me and my life.
I now feel more calm and controlled with the condition and I have found ways to change outcomes by using the tools Katie has taught me. My pain levels have decreased and I am still trying to change my reactions to people’s behaviours towards me and control my stress levels. I feel my fears around eating and avoiding stressful situations are improving.
Thank you Katie
I'd encourage anyone dealing with pain to seek Katie out sooner rather than later, really. It could have helped me 6 months or even a year sooner. What a different that would have been.
I'm no longer missing out on fun with my kids, or feeling pain everywhere, everyday being unable to do regular household work or lifting. Thank you Katie for helping me turn things around in a major way for me and my family. I came to enjoy our call, your pleasant demeanour and ability to sit with my pain and emotion when I needed.I am currently suffering with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which Causes constriction of the nerves in my shoulder, chest and arm! Since going to see Katie, she has worked wonders by releasing tight muscles in my neck and shoulders which relate to this condition! The pain had reduced immensely! Katie is so knowledgable and explains things so clearly that I can understand what is actually happening within my body.
