What clients say about the cupping here
“Very professional, yet personable at the same time.”

From the reviews
…She also does cupping, which I tried (and liked!) for my golfer’s elbow (similar to tennis elbow). A lot of people from my kickboxing and weightlifting gym (Farrell’s) go to her because she knows so much about working with athletes (and regular people who have aches and pains from working out!
Kata invites your body into conversation and listens with a deep wisdom of anatomy. From the smallest consideration, like adjusting the table sheets based on the season to offering a beautifully reflective space (chocolate included!), Kata's approach is intentional.
I would highly recommend Kata of Form & Function. She is a great listener to your aches and needs. I was impressed with her message therapy, and truly felt 10 times better when we were done! Her knowledge of anatomy must be good as I told her what was bothering me and she made it disappear.
Kata is amazing! She listens to you and has great strategies to help relieve whatever is ailing you. I can always leave knowing I'm feeling great for days!
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.
