⸻
This training is for you if…
You’re a Level 3 qualified massage therapist and you:
•Want to integrate cupping into your practice safely and ethically
•Work with (or are) neurodivergent, sensitive, or burnt-out people
•Are tired of rushed, overly clinical CPD
•Care deeply about consent, nervous system regulation, and client autonomy
•Want hands-on confidence, not just theory
This is not a fast, factory-style cupping course.
It’s slow, embodied, and rooted in good touch, good boundaries, and good sense.
⸻
What makes this training different?
Most cupping courses focus on technique alone.
This one teaches cupping through a neuro-affirming, trauma-aware lens, recognising that:
•Bodies respond differently to sensation
•Consent is ongoing, not a one-off tick box
•Nervous system state matters as much as technique
•Pressure, pacing, and language can either soothe or overwhelm
You’ll learn how to use cupping without overriding your client’s system — and without overriding your own.
