Before even beginning massage school, I knew how I wanted to practice.
Specific. Intentional. Medically focused.

Experience has deepened the work — and my curiosity.
Always learning. Always refining.
My clients are my teachers.

Ritual is anything that brings me back to center.
Beauty. Sunlight. Breath.
Presence in the body.
A ritual of return.

Tight muscles, bracing for the cold. Muscles, aching for a walk in the sunshine. Massage can be deep soul grounding work. What are you doing that’s grounding?

DAY 12 — 12 Days of Cupping
A Final Thought

Cupping isn’t magic.
It doesn’t pull out toxins.
And it doesn’t replace good assessment or skilled touch.

What it can do is offer strong, clear input to the body —
sometimes creating awareness, sometimes easing movement,
sometimes helping an area feel “online” again.

When used thoughtfully, cupping supports the body’s ability to organize itself.

That’s how I use it.
And that’s why I don’t use it on everyone.

Thank you for following along these 12 days.
If you’re curious whether cupping has a place in your work together, I’m always happy to talk about it.

DAY 11 — 12 Days of Cupping
How I Use Cupping in Sessions

I don’t use cupping automatically — and I don’t use it the same way on every body.

Sometimes cupping is helpful for creating awareness in an area that feels disconnected or hard to access.
Sometimes it’s used with movement.
Sometimes it’s slow, gentle, and brief.
And sometimes… it’s not used at all.

I decide based on:
• how a body responds to touch
• what feels restricted or under-communicated
• nervous system state
• comfort, consent, and goals for the session

Cupping is a tool — not the point of the work.

The goal is always better movement, ease, and a body that feels more organized and supported.

Tomorrow: closing out the 12 days.

DAY 10 — 12 Days of Cupping

Is Cupping Right for You?

Cupping isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool.

Some bodies respond really well to it, especially when there’s chronic tension, limited movement, or areas that feel hard to access with massage alone.

There are also times when cupping isn’t appropriate or needs to be modified.

Cupping may not be a good fit if you:
• bruise very easily or have fragile skin
• have a bleeding or clotting disorder
• are taking blood thinners
• are on long-term corticosteroids or certain skin medications
• are undergoing or recently completed cancer treatment

This is why I always assess medical history, skin response, and comfort before using cups.

Thoughtful use — or choosing not to use cupping — is part of good care.

Tomorrow: how I decide which type of cupping to use.

Cupping Myths & What We Actually Know

One of the most common ideas about cupping is that darker marks mean more “toxins” are being released.

That explanation doesn’t really line up with what research shows.

What we do know is that cupping marks vary in color and intensity based on several factors, including:
• how much suction is used
• how long the cup is applied
• the area of the body
• circulation in that tissue
• individual differences in skin and capillaries

Darker marks don’t necessarily mean something is “worse” or that anything is being pulled out of the body. They’re simply a visible response to how that area reacted to the suction.

This is also why some areas mark easily and others barely mark at all — even on the same person.

Cupping isn’t about extracting something bad. It’s about how the body responds to negative pressure, sensory input, and circulation changes.

Tomorrow: who cupping tends to be a good fit for — and when it might not be.

DAY 7 — 12 Days of Cupping

Cupping & Proprioception

One of the most meaningful effects of cupping is how strongly it stimulates proprioception — the body’s sense of where it is in space.

That clear, localized input gives the nervous system something specific to pay attention to. Areas that have been vague, under-recruited, or ignored suddenly become very noticeable.

When the body can sense an area more clearly, it can begin to use it differently.
This is part of how cupping can support more efficient movement and coordination — not by forcing change, but by helping the nervous system update its internal map.

A good example is the lower trapezius. When that area becomes more perceptible, people often move with less effort through the shoulders because the body remembers, oh — this is available to me.

Cupping can help bring that kind of awareness back online.

Tomorrow: cupping with movement.
