About Anita - Your Expert Massage Therapist

---

Anita is a licensed Cosmetologist since 1985 and licensed Massage Therapist since 1989. She developed the   

MediCupping™ and Massage Cupping therapies in 2002 and went on to publish numerous articles in health care trade magazines, plus teaching this work to health care practitioners all over the world. She now has 12 trainers in the USA and has turned over all of the travel to focus on private practice again. 

Nicknamed "The MotherCupper", she was inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame in 2011 and continues to appear at national conventions.

Her journey began with a car accident where she fractured her neck and was told at 24 years old that she was permanently disabled. Not accepting that prognosis, she began a regimen of neuromuscular massage, chiropractic and other treatments. Recovery was long but amazing and she vowed to find a way to get the same results without the pain of some massage treatments. 

She became an assistant in a Traditional Chinese Medical clinic in 2000 and was introduced to the cups. She realized that the traditional use was not appropriate for massage therapy and developed new techniques that were gentler, yet powerful ... and the word spread!
