What clients say about the cupping here
“After one session, my mobility improved - and by a few days later, I was almost pain free!”
“She accesses where I am at that moment in time, and deals with any problems from a cold to a sore neck to the grief I experienced at the loss of my father.”
“A compassionate listener, Carmela seeks information from her clients about progress, how the treatment protocol is working, and considers what adjustment, if any, needs to be made.”
“The atmosphere feels lovely, comfortable, and calming.”
“She regularly informs me of new skills and knowledge she has acquired by attending conferences and trainings.”
From the reviews
I have been seeing Carmela for at least five years. That was when she helped me reclaim my health and my life! I was on a fast track to disability (my doctor said he never say anyone go downhill so quickly) - the fatigue and pain was endless.
SAAT worked for my alpha gal allergy I did my homework first, and knew I wanted someone certified to perform SAAT. I have asthma and a cardiac arrhythmia, both require medications. Because of my alpha gal allergy, most of my medications had to be compounded without animal products.
Over the years, I have seen a number of practitioners that use acupuncture and herbs to balance and heal the body, and all were technically proficient in providing treatments. But, I would not describe any of them as healers. Carmela Mager is a healer.
After years of struggling with gut issues and many symptoms the western doctors didn't believe or had no idea how to treat, I finally found Carmela. She treated me for Alpha gal to begin with and my symptoms started getting better. I tested negative for alpha gal but I still felt weak and had gut issues.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
