BREATHE Beauty & Wellness

Out of every tool in my treatment room, cupping is the one I reach for most.

Massage pushes down into a muscle. Cupping pulls the other way. The suction lifts your skin and the tissue just under it up off the muscle, and that lift lets me work into tight spots where leaning in harder would only make your body brace against me. I use cups most on shoulders, upper backs, and the strip of muscle between your shoulder blades.

Cupping is done as part of your massage. I massage your back first, then place the cups, and while the cups work on your back, I massage your legs, so you're getting two treatments at the same time.

Cupping should never hurt. When the cups first go on, it feels a little spicy for a couple of seconds, and then your nervous system relaxes and the spicy feeling fades. The round marks cupping can leave are normal and usually fade in a few days to a week, so if you have a wedding, a pool day, or a backless dress coming up, tell me and I'll keep the cups where nobody will see them.

Cupping is a good fit if you carry your stress in your neck and shoulders, if you love deep pressure but your body fights it, or if you're an athlete coming in for recovery work. Tell me before we start if you're pregnant, on blood thinners, or have sunburned or broken skin.

If you're dealing with chronic pain, I usually want to see you every two weeks at first, and once your body settles down we can space your visits further apart. If you just carry everyday stress in your shoulders, once a month keeps the tension from building back up between sessions. Your body talks to you, so pay attention to how you feel in the days after, and we'll adjust from there.

Text me at 713-504-4854 and tell me what has been bothering you, and I'll have the cups ready.

I changed the way I sleep, and it was my clients who talked me into it.

Not on purpose. I just kept seeing the same things on my table. Stomach sleepers with a neck that only turns one direction. Side sleepers whose top shoulder sits forward and will not go back. The dead arm you wake up shaking out because you spent all night on top of it.

Seven or eight hours is a long time to hold a position. You would not sit like that in a chair for twenty minutes.

So if you wake up stiff in the same spot every morning, tell me about it. My goal is not just to relieve the tension you are carrying today. It is to help you retrain how you sleep for tomorrow, so you feel better and function at a higher level all day long.

I had to changed my sleeping habits, and it was not easy, but it made it made a world of difference in how I feel each day.

Booking link is in bio.

I have back problems of my own. Fifteen years of leaning over a table will do that, and it is part of why I understand the people who end up on mine.

I know what it is like to be told your scan looks fine and to go home still hurting. I know what it is like to describe the same pain to four people and have none of them find it. And I know what it is like when somebody finally puts a thumb on the exact spot and you do not have to explain it anymore.

You are not exaggerating. Come tell me where it hurts, and if it turns out the problem is somewhere else, I will find it.

October is booking quickly.

Fall sports, the holidays coming, everybody who has been putting it off since summer deciding this is the month. By the second week I am usually telling people I do not have anything until November.

If you know you are going to need me, get on the calendar now instead of calling me when your neck has already locked up.

Massage, facials, waxing, whitening, IV therapy. Suite 850 in Kingwood.

Fifteen years in, and I still take continuing education every year. In person, and I pay for it myself.

In 2023 I flew to Beverly Hills to train with a lymphatic specialist because that was the best training I could find. I have sat in classrooms with cadavers to understand what is under my hands. None of it was required of me.

This was never just a job to me. I like learning, and every class I take is another thing I can do for somebody who walks in hurting.

Our last HerScan screening booked out in less than 1 hour. If you are interested, make sure you sign up fast.

Ladies, we're all about wellness here, and that includes the parts of your health that don't feel urgent until they are.
On December 29, HerScan is bringing breast ultrasound screening to Breathe. It takes about 20 minutes. No radiation, no referral, and your images are read by a board certified radiologist.
I know how this goes. You keep track of the kids, the job, your parents, everybody's calendar but your own. Your own appointments are the first thing to slide.
If you're not willing to do it for you, do it for the people who depend on you.
One important note. Ultrasound doesn't replace your mammogram. It gives you an extra look. Keep your regular screenings and talk with your doctor about what's right for you.

Nobody can help you feel the way you want to until you make the decision.

How you feel six months from now, a year from now, that comes down to what you decide today. Every time you deal with the shoulder that's been bothering you since spring instead of ignoring it another week, you're investing in future you. Every time you work on your mobility, every time you treat recovery like it matters instead of something you'll get around to, you're investing in future you.

It doesn't start on my table. It starts the day you stop putting it off.

Future you would be proud of the decisions you're making today.

Massage is not a reward for having a hard week.

It belongs with sleep, water, and moving your body. Nobody makes you earn a night of sleep. Skip it long enough and you pay for it anyway, and this works the same way.

Women get on my table and apologize to me. For taking the appointment, for spending the money, for being gone an hour. I hear it almost every day.

Quit apologizing. You are taking care of the only body you get, and there is nothing about that you need my permission for.
