From the reviews
…Gretchen's cupping technique is amazing. After my first session I was sore and achy as my body processed the muscular release of old knots and tension in my neck, shoulders and down my spine. I continue to feel the positive effects of the treatment almost 5 days later.
I had an hour & 1/2 shoulder-focused massage and cupping session with Maia. To start, I was pleased that Boulder Cupping Therapy takes Covid precautions seriously and created a safe and welcoming space. I was even more pleased to find that Maia is a wonderful massage therapist.
…I have had massage for a number of years and tried cupping from BCT for the first time and will just say wow! It helped so much with my tight hips and shoulder tension, it was amazing. Gretchen is so knowledgeable and thoughtful and spent time pre session to get to know me, my areas of concern and goals.
…I saw Gretchen last week and experienced her new cupping skills, as well as the aromatherapy aspect. As usual, I was a puddle of serenity by the time our hour was over.
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.
