Omar Rodrigo Mesa, LMT, BCTMB

Very timely course! I need this information for my own health situation. I have gained additional information for my own tool box. Thanks

Melanie Proctor, LMBT, BCTMB

I took an in class, hands-on 8-hour class and I learned more in this class than I did in the one I attended! Highly recommend!

Michelle Fink, RMT

I personally prefer to learn techniques from the source staying true to the original practice. Your course has given me a great foundation from the ground up. Understanding the history of the practice is very helpful. The course covered all of the techniques and therefore makes it easy to determine which technique would be the best for an individual practitioner without treating beyond the “Scope of Practice.” Thank you so much...This has been very enjoyable.

The problem with the text Traditional Chinese Medicine Cupping Therapy had a lot on Wet Cuppy which was interesting, but massage therapist are unable to use this style of cupping. This was a great starting point to learn about cupping and implement into my own practice.

Shawn Wilkerson, LMT

I have been searching for an online cupping class that was in-depth and finally found this one that was a good price with quality content. Thank you.

I thought the course was excellent, I learned a lot more than I expected. I was disappointed with the videos, I wish they had more videos showing moving cupping and trigger points.
