Cupping! Cupping on Mercer Island and Queen Anne!

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-Maria!

Cupping is state of the art bodywork.

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 Takes Massage Treatments To New Levels

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!

Schedule a healing nap on the Jade Tourmaline mat.

Friends, This is the healing Gemstone negative ion mat I purchased for you, located at our Mercer Island office. This mat is like a sauna, with deep far-infrared heat. Penetrates the body 6" deep, then you flip, to get the other side. Whole body healing. Gets rid of radiation and positive ions! LOADED with Healing crystals, medicinal gemstones. Decreases stiffness, pain, anxiety, depression, improves sleep & immune system! Decreases cortisol levels. DEEP RELAXATION. You will drift to a healing place. Just laying on the mat raises your vibration. I'm putting this out there if any of you want to purchase one for your home, like I did. I'm also letting you know you are welcome to schedule a private passive rest, or a nap on the island with this mat, I can add guided meditation, and aromatherapy . Tuesday thru Saturday! 206-941-8560 Only thing better is to schedule a massage with me on the healing mat!
