Therapeutic bodywork. Healing soft tissue injuries since 2000.

Negative Pressure/Reverse Pressure = CUPPING! Variety of types of cupping: Silicon, plastic, fire, facial, & cellulite cupping. I like to go to cupping tools when I see a client with their facia restricted, scar tissue built up, and/or adhesions formed. I have had good results with a shoulder that couldn't handle pressure, but responded well to the cups to the point of increased range of motion and decreased pain reported by the client. I have had great results with the Sciatic Nerve impingement, by lifting and opening up nerve endings/pathways. Great results with the release of trigger points! Overall cupping is a great way to separate tissues, then rehydrates the tissues, so they are more pliable. Schedule today and see why!With Love, Meta-Maria!

As a healer, it is my ultimate goal to help my clients create a change as rapid as possible. To feel and be high octane! In the midst of bodywork, we can alleviate structural soft tissue imbalances and injuries, we can also direct subtle energy, including the information that moves within us! This might look like a client forgiving, or relief from heartache, or brilliant insights. Shifting energy is an explantation of magical healing on higher dimensions. Which means everywhere we go in session with the bodywork, their is space available to create vital transformation, to move with my clients forward higher outcomes. Healing is accelerated when deliberately interacting with subtle energy structures. In the stillness we can move at any speed we want. Deep breathing, meditation, clearing the mind... all allow for us to disengage our minds enough so that we can reach into the void of possibility within our soul. Connect to the empty space within. Linking with a healer, opens us up to enab

Vitality, longevity, health... How much BETTER is the quality of life with self care? S elf care is VITAL for me. I follow my personal 3's... Self care is critical, because if I don't take care of myself, I cannot take care of my clients. Schedule effectively, Appointments are just as important as exercise and down time. SMILE, smile a lot, because life is meant to be FUN. Be full of gratitude and joy for this life you get to live! XOXO, Meta-Maria!

Our wellness is the sum of each moving part within us, and its about the synergistic relationship between them. It is about balancing our life's purpose, work, and our emotional health, especially as a quintessential nurturer/massage therapist. To remain in equilibrium, homeostasis, HEALTH…OPTIMAL and high octane, one must give and receive in equal manner. Ways I do this is a scheduled weekly massage for my body tune up and health. I have created a morning ritual, which includes time for myself, to meditate, walk, pilates, stretch, drink smoothie and hot lemon water, practice positive affirmations, set goals for that day, pray, read inspirational quotes, listen to music, dance or sing if I feel inspired, give thanks, and do a little reading. I literally put myself on my own calendar for self care. I hope to inspire you to do the same for yourself too!Lets all be high vibrational humans. I schedule my weekly massages. I schedule my pilates a month in advance. I set my alarm clock f

Cupping Therapy is my favorite new tool in the toolbox!Especially with cold and flu season in full effect! What once could take up to a month for your body to clear, is now gone in a day, or symptoms greatly reduced and healing in 2-3…gone!This can be a quick treatment of 1/2 hour. Or we can work on other things too with the hour or 90 minute visit, as you know, its always customized and changing as you present new issues each time. By lifting the congested lymph, we can breakdown the heavy toxins stored in tissues; sorta like earthquakes: where the ground becomes liquified and moves like water. The vacuum is used to bring latent body heat or inflammation to the area to liquefy the solid lymph. Then I come through and manually move the lymph to the main lymph hubs:) and the body takes care of the rest! You should get a good night's sleep, and wake up refreshed! Healthy. U love YOU in 2017. XOXO, Meta-Maria!

Vacuum Manual Therapy, or cupping, is the traditional fire cupping's contemporary counterpart. Todays application is adapted into medical field, but began back with the Egyptians using these methods first! Later china/Asia took hold. Now we use it in conjunction with western treatments, like massage on Queen ANne or Mercer Island! I like the Vacuum cupping because of the precision. I can apply It in exactly the spots I want it, with exactly the precise pressure, I intend to use for treatment…Brilliant! Progressive treatment for execrated healing with bodywork. There are a variety of applications for vacuum cupping: Mastectomies and C section scars, SCARS IN GENERAL! surgical preparation and recovery for injuries. Anything to do with the glorious LYMPHATIC SYSTEM! The vacuum cupping manual therapy used in addition to other bodywork modalities is revolutionizing medicine and healing. I just helped a client recently get over a terrible cold, quickly! Manual work that would take weeks,

In a recent client case who came in with neck, shoulder and back pain and highly sensitive. We decided to try the Soma cupping, which is more gentle than the traditional glass fire cupping, in part because the cups are made of silicon and have the ability of movement, which gives more control over the suction. Rotational forces can be introduced to the fascial web, that hands on pushing therapy cannot duplicate. Cupping really helps with trigger points.Once I palpate and locate such areas, applying a cup offers extensive relief. The soma cupping can lift and separate tissues off of each other. This movement creates space for the fascial structures to bath in fluids and as a result rehydrate and make pliable once again. Kinda like a sponge when it is dry vs wet! ridged vs supple. The markings, if you will in this case are turning pink because the blood and the lymph fluids are drawn into the area under the cup. This is also an effective treatment for scars!Since scars are binding in the

Cupping therapy is where I am finding this beautiful emergence of bodywork to a more compete state. Where before I was pushing, fingers, elbow deep into the tissue, to meet nervous system at comfort, while going into deeper tissues to break up soft tissues. For bodywork, involving both client and practitioner this cupping modality helps pull out what may have not wanted to push thru. This being experienced first hand, I can see a heightened speedy recovery if the client takes care of themselves following the treatments. Meaning hydrate, maybe ice, Espom salt soak, keeping warm, and get a good nights sleep. Stretching is vital. From the moment you get off the table, continue to open your body, keeping full range of motion. This is a daily practice. The marks can freak some people out, visually. As a practitioner I am interpreting the results. after removing the cups, you can discern the clients condition. If appear most, that is "damp" or yang deficient. If the skin marking i

Happy New Year! My hope is that we all put ourselves, and our health first in this upcoming year. From the high density foods we eat to scheduling regular massages/bodywork. I've added a few continued Ed classes to my tool box within the last two months. One of them is cupping! Thanks to Michael Phelps, most of you are now familiar with this very ancient technique of healing. Cupping draws out the wind, or/and the colds out of our body! removes waste and toxins, pulls up fascia and creates spaces for our nerves. I have found cupping to be effective with trigger point releases, and using it combined with contract relax for a deeper release of the muscle and surrounding tissues. Sometimes pushing isn't enough, sometimes it is the pulling that can really bring a treatment together for best results. COme try a treatment and see for yourself! You have 52 weeks ahead of you… make the most of it, and remember to schedule standing appointments, your body will thank you! XOXO, Meta-Mari
