We love cupping, it is one of our favorite forms of bodywork! It involves momentarily placing fire into glass cups so that the heat creates suction when they are subsequently placed on the skin.

Year of the Water Tiger
The year of the Yang Water Tiger begins February 1st. The tiger represents the Wood element, embodied by strength, power, confidence and decisive action. This year is an opportunity to see anew, to implement our new priorities and strategies. We begin to move out of the more yin elements of the past years and embrace wood dynamics.
