Some tension you can shake off. Some you carry for so long it becomes part of who you are making everything feel a little heavier than it should.
Fire cupping and Tui Na massage work together to reach into those deeper layers, gently allowing you to let it go.
The philosophy behind fire cupping
In classical Chinese Medicine, discomfort, heaviness, and tension are understood as signs of stagnation, a slowing or restriction in the natural movement of Qi and blood through the body. Where flow becomes restricted, we begin to feel it as tightness, aching, fatigue, or a persistent sense of being weighed down.
Fire cupping has been used for thousands of years across Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European traditions as a way of directly addressing this stagnation. By creating suction on the surface of the skin, cupping lifts and decompresses the tissue beneath drawing fresh circulation to areas that have become sluggish, breaking up restriction, and inviting the body back into movement.
The body responds to it in a way that feels both immediate and deep — a release that goes beyond what the surface alone can hold.
About me
I'm Cristina — a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Reiki Master, yoga instructor, and EFT practitioner, based in Byron Bay. Fire cupping and Tui Na sit at the heart of my bodywork practice, drawing directly from the eastern philosophy I study and the classical Chinese Medicine traditions I am deeply passionate about.
I believe the body holds more wisdom than we often give it credit for — and that sometimes all it needs is the right conditions to release, circulate, and restore. That is what I aim to create in every session.

Fire cupping and Tui Na—better together
Fire cupping and Tui Na massage complement each other beautifully. Tui Na works first — using pressing, rolling, kneading and acupressure to warm and prepare the tissues, open the meridians, and begin encouraging movement through areas of restriction. Cupping then follows, lifting and decompressing the deeper layers to release what the hands have loosened, and drawing fresh circulation to areas that have felt stuck or stagnant.
The result is a session that works on multiple levels simultaneously — physical release, improved circulation, nervous system settling, and a genuine sense of lightness that many people haven't felt in a long time.
