The Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast Erin Holt

Finally, the long awaited episode with The Facial Cupping Expert, Sakina Di Pace, is here!  Learn more about how facial cupping can be beneficial for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, cysts, and cystic acne. While facial cupping is growing in popularity, Sakina wants to ensure that folks are educated in how to use their cups appropriately and when cupping may actually not be the best fit - like hormonal acne and rosacea.
Sakina has practiced acupuncture globally for the past 12 years. She began using Facial Cupping, in addition to her needles, to help alleviate the pain of patients with nerve conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, and to stimulate muscle strength in paralysis cases such as Bell’s Palsy. Realising how beneficial Facial Cupping was to her patients, she decided to incorporate the technique into her cosmetic acupuncture treatments. 
 
Sakina is the creator of the ‘6-step Facial Cupping Protocol for Beginners’, along with a popular and accredited ‘Facial Cupping For Professionals Course’ that helps teach those who want to become qualified in offering facial cupping to their clients.
