Testimonials

“The information provided in this 3 day course really enhances the ability to be able to provide my clients with the best care with cups! Thank you so much! “

“Shannon is a great instructor, she gets so excited about teaching. She very passionate about teaching. The weekend flew bye. I am a RMT, being able to use cupping to help release tension with massage for a client makes treatments a game changer. Feeling the tissues release and soften is so helpful. Cups will become part of my treatment. Definitely wont have to use my hands as much to get the same results. Love cupping of any kind.”

“The Pathology, Scar Tissue, Magnets in MCT and Advanced Applications of MCT course was highly valuable. I already used Modern Cupping Therapy (MCT) frequently in my acupuncture practice, but now I am using these in-depth applications even more. The magnets portion of the course has been so valuable when applied with an acupuncture lens. In the few weeks since the course, I have been having great feedback from clients and exciting results. Shannon’s passion and energy is contagious while she teaches. Her ability to provide in-depth background, safety considerations and applications while keeping the material interesting and relevant is a true gift.” – Heidi Brubacher, R.Ac.
