During a cupping and bodywork treatment, your session begins with tuina, the ancient form of Chinese medical massage. After the muscles are warmed up, your practitioner will begin the cupping portion of the treatment.

Glass cups are placed on the affected areas using a traditional fire method. Your practitioner places a fire source briefly inside the cup before removing it and placing the warm cup on your skin. As the air inside cools, it creates a vacuum that gently draws skin and muscle upward into the cup. Your skin may turn red as blood vessels respond to the change in pressure.

The cups remain in place for 10-20 minutes to increase circulation and release constrictions. After this, a sliding method may be used to treat broader areas of muscle tissue. Think of cupping as a reverse deep tissue massage—instead of pushing down on the muscles, we pull them up. Cupping can be performed on nearly every area of the body, even the soles of the feet. While cupping may leave temporary marks on the skin, these typically fade within 2-7 days.

At Whole Body Wellness Collective, we use only traditional Chinese Fire Cupping methods and never substitute with vacuum or suction cups (except during facial treatments). We take pride in being one of the few clinics in Missoula offering authentic fire cupping therapy.

Our Sunlighten sauna is equipped with near, mid, and far infrared waves that penetrate the skin, muscles, joints, and tissues to improve blood circulation and oxygen flow, and help detoxify the body. It also helps remove impurities from the cells inside our fat where our body stores waste and harmful toxins such as cholesterol and heavy metals.

Choose between pre-set programs for detoxification, pain relief, anti-aging, relaxation, weight loss, or cardio benefits, or customize your experience to address your specific wellness needs.

The sauna is equipped with a premium sound system and 10" control panel to Netflix and sweat or vibe out to Spotify. There is also a customizable chromotherapy system to enhance your sauna experience and transform your mental wellbeing further.

Reiki is a non-invasive healing method based on the ancient practice of laying-on of hands. In the Eastern view, the body is regarded as a dynamic energy system, and like many other healing modalities, Reiki aims to restore the unimpeded flow of energy, which may become blocked or disturbed by illness, injury, trauma, or emotional unrest.

Through Reiki, the body's natural healing processes are activated, and a state of deep relaxation is achieved in which healing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels takes place.

Reiki is a fully clothed treatment that can also be added on to a massage session for a more comprehensive healing experience.
