Laura Krieger, LMT
This class opened in San Diego in 2017 and I jumped at the chance to enroll. I learned so much. I was having back pain that weekend. Lisa placed a couple silicone cups around my scapula and ran another one along my back. She did a little ROM work with my arm and when she was done…the pain was gone, I DO NOT KID YOU! I could breathe EASIER and move PAIN FREE. I was hooked from then on.
Tanya Mendoza, LMT
Tanya Mendoza, a massage therapist for 21 years, she began working with The Cupping Revolution two years ago to bring classes to Hawaii since there is a lack of good continuing education courses here, and cupping is such a powerful tool. Now Tanya educates other massage therapists about how to prolong their careers and grow their practice with cupping therapy.
