From the reviews
…He brought a table and all his supplies to provide a massage with cupping. Brian has the warm healing power , calming presence and energy that you usually find in Hawaii, and brought that same personal connection to California.
…He introduced me to sliding cupping which felt amazing! At the end , he used rock tape to help my muscles for the rest of the week! I would highly recommend Brian for your next massage!
Brian has an excellent command of anatomy and what areas of the body to focus on based on your areas of concern. He takes the time to talk with you first to come up with a plan. He has been able to help me with with both acute and chronic issues in my neck back and shoulder. He also uses multiple treatments modalities.
Brian has been so amazing to work with. He is extremely talented, knowledgeable, inquisitive, and honest. I have been working with him for the past few months as I have chronic headaches, and he has tried many different techniques and modalities on me.
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.
