From the reviews

Just saw Miguel today and he is incredible! I have tmj, tension headaches, and migraines. He was wonderful to chat with and gave me so much relief. He explained what he was doing every step of the way along with tips on how to relieve tension at home.

★★★★★ — Sydney, Dec 2023

Miguel is the absolute best! I have been working with him for a few years now, and my body feels different! He has healing hands! After my sessions with him, my aches and pains are gone. He is great at finding my trouble areas. If you book with Miguel, you will NOT regret it

★★★★★ — Andrea, May 2023

As a body worker myself I can tell Miguel Understands anatomy and how the body moves. If you’re looking for someone who can actually address your areas of pain/ discomfort while also being relaxed and felling cared for, Miguel knows his stuff.

★★★★★ — Zachariah, Jul 2024

Booking is easy and the suite is very warm and comfortable. Miguel is exceptional at what he does. He shows great interest and care in addressing mobility and pain issues. The best

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.
