You can have clients writing reviews like this for you!
“This was my first experience with cupping and I was extremely pleased, especially since it wasn't what I expected. I always thought cupping was just putting "suction cups" on and leaving them there. Duh...
I wound up in full drool mode once Liz began doing the method. She incorporated a massage with the cups that actually brought a tear to my eye with relief.”
