From the reviews

My mom, Tiffany, attended earlier this year, Winter/Spring 2025. She has nothing but great things to say about Michelle and the course. Michelle is very knowledgeable and what is required from the State, she sets her students up for success.

★★★★★ — Denise, Jul 2025

Prepare to learn, build, and grow. This is not just a school, it’s an opportunity to gain knowledge in the field, build relationships that can last forever, and learn about yourself as a therapist as well as just a person. I was extremely nervous about attending MBEC; but now, it’s an irreplaceable time in my life.

★★★★★ — Mary, Jun 2025

MBEC is amazing!! I attended here and learned so much. The environment is set up perfectly to guide each student through the CMT process effortlessly. Michelle and her instructors were amazing and so knowledgeable! Thank you MBEC

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
