Cupping marks have been seen on many celebrities. The use of suction cups can be used to help with blood circulation, clearing toxins and relaxing muscles.
Fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points, that vary for each individual. The treatment is designed to treat the whole person and not just the presenting symptoms.
Kerry also complements the importance of balancing the mind, body and soul by practising and teaching Qigong classes.
Qigong aids Qi flow, helping energy, health and grounding. For current class details please contact Kerry.
