Cupping is a therapy that has been used historically for many purposes. Modern use it is most commonly as an easy modality to help relieve pain. It is effective due to its ability to move blood in areas of poor circulation due to injury, stagnation of blood or lymph or chronic stress due to sympathetic nervous system dominance and dysregulation. Acutely or over a period of time these stressors prevent proper relaxation and flexibility of the muscles. Often times people recognize when they are stressed due to feeling tense or tightness in their upper back, shoulders and neck. Cupping works using negative pressure to pick up the skin and superficial muscle tissues and bringing poorly moving blood cells to the surface. This action allows new, fresh blood to take its place in the muscle while stimulating the body to create new blood.

Acupuncture assists the body in activating chemicals your body naturally produces. What we understand about acupuncture is that when a foreign body (in this case, a sterile needle) enters the body, our brain sends signals through the circulatory and lymphatic system to cause an inflammatory response around the needle. Since there is no actual threat at the site of the sterile needle and the body does not have to fight off any exogenous pathogen or heal any trauma to the body: the body now has an influx of these healing chemicals that will be released throughout the body to promote healing where needed. Acupuncture can be used for a variety of symptoms. Most commonly in the United States, acupuncture's popularity arose in the treatment of pain and stress management. Many patients find themselves drifting off to sleep during a treatment because of acupuncture's ability to regulate the nervous system and help the patient return to a parasympathetic state. This is known as the "rest and digest" state and the body coming into this biological state is imperative for healing to occur. The opposite of this is the sympathetic state or "fight or flight" state. People struggling with dysregulation of the nervous system will often have accompanying symptoms of high stress, chronic pain, digestion disorders, anxiety, poor attention span, chronic fatigue, insomnia, depression, panic disorders, are victims of post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorders, as well as patients struggling with dependency or addiction and more.

Something we have to acknowledge in our healing journey is our need for healing in all areas of ourselves. If we only focus on our body, but not our soul and spirit we cannot walk in the full victory that God has for us. As you work with a Certified Christian Life Coach, together we will identify the areas of lack and unbelief that have kept you bound and repeating cycles throughout your life. Once you recognize the lies you have partnered with and the truth about how God sees you and really loves you, your true self you always knew was there will begin to come out of hiding. Our identity is reflected in how we believe our Heavenly Father sees us. A coach recognizes the potential of an athlete before they ever win a championship. The same is true with life coaching: seeing the gift a person is before they even know it themselves.
