Cupping Add-On
Cupping is an ancient practice that involves the use of glass cups placed directly onto the skin. Tara uses a modern method of cupping which involves using a pump to create the vacuum inside the cup. The cups are placed on specific locations and attachment sites of muscles using suction to lift and separate facia, creating more space, increasing local circulation, decreasing inflammation, and improving range of motion and functionality of each muscle. Cupping can help release stubborn adhesions and trigger points and aid in the body’s natural healing process, resulting in less pain and discomfort in a more passive manner than massage and manual tissue manipulation.
Cups can be placed in a stationary position or be used as sliding cups to elongate and separate dense hypertonic tissue and fascia.
Pricing: $40

Scalp massages stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems, reduce headaches and migraines naturally, promote mental clarity, and improve sleep. We use a custom blend of essential oils and warmed jojoba oil to moisturize and massage dry scalps, enhancing hair growth and hair thickness with added aromatherapy.
