Erika is the best! She knows how to pinpoint the cause of my pain, releases the tension, and has helped manage the frequency of my headaches. I always (a word I don’t use often) feel better when I walk out the door!

Told me about scraping & cupping which I never heard of. She explained it to me very clearly!
