Cupping therapy is an ancient healing art, used to increase blood flow and kick-start the body's natural healing response. Often described as reverse massage, cupping uses concentrated suction, drawing layers of muscle and connective tissue away from the body to create a luxurious stretch, similar to myofascial release.

Aaron is a licensed massage therapist since 2006, and is a graduate from Irene's Myomassology Institute. While there he had the opportunity to train directly under the schools founder herself, the late, Irene Gauthier. After graduation, Aaron was offered the chance to serve an apprenticeship as a student teacher.
