The power of cupping

Cupping is one of the oldest known healing methods known to mankind – its roots go back several thousand years. Cupping involves using fire to create a vacuum in a glass jar; previously, horns or shell-like vessels were used. These are placed on the skin, creating a vacuum in the tissue. This loosens stuck fascia and causes a bruise. The body sends fresh blood into the small injury caused by the cupping, allowing muscles or stuck tissue to regenerate. For years, I struggled with severe neck tension, triggered by my work as a hairdresser. I tried many massages, but none compared to cupping, as it directly reaches the deeper layers and the effects are therefore longer-lasting. That's precisely why I was so fascinated by this technique and wanted to learn it. I read many books on fascia theory and cupping, attended courses on the subject, and initially practiced on friends before I began offering the treatment. Today, I offer cupping treatments conveniently as a home visit – you can be treated while relaxing in bed or on a mat on the floor.

Duration & Price: 1 hour CHF 120.– excluding travel costs

I am not a medical masseuse and only treat healthy people who suffer from normal tension or muscular tension.

massage

My massage technique is based on classical massage and complemented by gentle pressure and stretching techniques from Thai massage. I work intuitively and precisely to release tension and guide the body into deep relaxation. The treatment is supported by essential oils that stimulate the limbic system, helping to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind. Upon request, I also integrate sound elements such as drumming or the laying on of hands to make the treatment even more effective and profound. A massage with me is a small journey to yourself – a space where you can arrive, let go, and allow your muscles to become so heavy that your body can sink into deep tranquility. I look forward to massaging you.
