From the reviews
I had the pleasure of getting VIP treatment from Brian while traveling. I met Brian originally at my chiropractor office in Kailua Hawaii. Brian is a pure empath who has the intuition to find your uncomfortable areas and bring healing attention to the areas with ease.
I am very grateful that I was gifted a much needed massage! I am very particular with my massages and trusted my friend who had services with Brain. I truly enjoyed my hour+ massage! Brian came to us, set up his massage table and was very professional. Brian has soft, strong, healing hands.
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 is exceptionally talented in helping clients suffering with chronic pain. In addition to providing incredible deep tissue massage, Brian is unique in that he specializes in assessing how poor muscle development (or muscle overdevelopment) and inflexibility contribute to pain.
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.
