“With great power comes great responsibility”
- Uncle Ben, Spider-Man

It’s so easy to love cupping but it’s also very simple to “overdo” it.

One of my favourite activities that we do and the certified cupping therapist level one class is go on social media and look up cupping massage.

We talk about how what we see online is what our clients see online. This is our client’s perception of what cupping may be like.

My goal is your instructor is to make sure every single person is delivering safe, comfortable, and effective cupping massage treatments that have rationale and makes sense based on each clients health conditions.

Social media is always asking us to like, share, or comment on posts.

I could tell you endless horror stories about experiences that clients have had (but I won’t because that list will be way too long and that’s not what time I’m trying to promote on the internet).

Today I don’t want you to do anything other than to reflect on how you use tools in your practice.

Intention will always be a part of any tool you use in massage.

First video of this Business Series kicking off with a commonly misused word.

We often use this to describe ourselves and yet it isn’t the full picture !

Give this a listen, how do you this word has shaped how you think of a business?

Over the last little while, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on this course, the therapists taking it, and the conversations I’ve had with practitioners inside this industry.

What started as simply teaching a Raindrop-inspired treatment has evolved into something much deeper.

The therapists joining this course are not looking for trendy wellness marketing or treatment fads. They also felt re-assured knowing I teach dilution applications (never an essential oil on the skin without a barrier oil).

They’re looking for:
• more sustainable ways to practice
• grounded aromatherapy integration
• adaptable treatments
• safer essential oil use
• treatments clients remember
• ways to create calming sessions without destroying their bodies

And because of this, I’m opting to make the change that better reflects the value of the course itself.

The Raindrop Massage Therapist™ course will be increasing from $185 CAD to $235 CAD in 7 days.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about taking this training, this new price will be the the course will be offered at moving forward.

This adaptative training was built thoughtfully and carefully for real therapists working in therapeutic settings and I’m incredibly proud of how it continues to evolve.

CE instructors:
What’s the most stressful event you’ve had?

Ones that didn’t make the cut this time:

- someone brings peppermint oil into a tiny classroom and suddenly half the class is coughing

- you catch a glimpse of the group in the back doing unhinged techniques with the massage cups

- your live Zoom freezes on the most unflattering facial expression possible

- watching students practice draping like they’re wrapping leftovers

Do you learn bamboo massage or do you learn stone massage first?

I joke with my students and tell them that’s almost like saying “what came first: the chicken or the egg?”😅

If you learn one style, then choosing the other is an easy compliment.

For new students honestly I tell them that bamboo would be my “go to choice”

- it assists in pressure
- allows length and leverage to be used thoughtfully during the treatment
Can be done for relaxation, therapeutic deep tissue, massage, massages, or even sports massage
- the tools are warm, or use that room temperature. This makes learning how to hold the tool and included in the treatment much easier than struggling to hold a hot stone.

This is a 1 day (8 hour) course, $280 per student + supplies.

Upcoming in person trainings are listed below.

🗓️Lethbridge: Sunday, July 12th
🗓️Calgary: Tuesday, Aug 18
