What clients are saying about "Cupping"
"Cupping sounded like a silly gimmick to me, but Anita has never steered me wrong so I gave it a try. I still can't believe the relief the cups brought to my chronically inflamed sinuses!" - Misty
"Anita used the cupping technique on my lower back and she had me feeling like a professional athlete! I'll be back in two weeks for another treatment" - Sam
"I've had shoulder and neck pain with frequent headaches. I was a little hesitant on cupping therapy, but after a treatment I feel less pain, headache relief, and more energy in my everyday activities." - Dennis
"Anita's cupping therapy is awesome. After my treatment I can move around so much more. I also had cupping on my face and chin area and my skin was noticeably firmer and softer afterwards" - Amy
