Casper's Massage Services

Aloha friends! Before reaching out please take note that my hours of operation are 9:00am-6:00pm Monday-Saturday.

I perform cupping and massage services.

MASSAGE

I attended the Hawaii Massage Academy in Honolulu where I completed my training.

In the West, massage relies heavily on Swedish thought because of it being brought to the public's attention in the 1700s by the work of a Swede named Peter Ling. As a consequence, it is now required training in accredited massage schools. So beyond that requirement, I also invested in Shiatsu, Lomi Lomi, Hawaiian Hot Stone, Foot reflexology and Sports Massage training.

In accord with the desired outcome of my client's need I incorporate the best of each of these modalities, along with stretching and some other techniques Ive learned along the way, to adress specific problems and focus on trigger points that help to ease built-up stress. I give strong attention to the neck, shoulders, lower back and feet, as I found in working with folks, that those tend to be the problem areas. I love seeing my clients afterwards with a calm and happy demeanor and I work hard to have that result with everyone I work with.

CUPPING

I am certified by the International Cupping Therapy Association to perform cupping as well.

In addition to the traditional cupping methods, I have also received training to use cupping for facial and cellulite treatments.

Regular cupping is a "as needed" basis in helping to encourage blood flow in areas of stagnation in the body.

Facial and cellulite treatments take 6-12 sessions with one needing to schedule 2-3x a week to complete that regimen. A face lift and the reduction of cellulite is a consequence of moving lymph and encouraging blood flow in these areas, to produce a stronger production of collagen. The intent of cupping on the face is not to leave marks. Though cupping naturally produces marks on people, facial cupping, when done correctly, will not result in marks on the face. Now this being said, don't get a facial treatment before a wedding shoot, every once in a while slight marking can happen.

DISCOUNTS

Kama'aina discounts of 10% are given with the demonstration of a valid Oahu ID.

SCHEDULING

I check the app very frequently and consider myself on call so if you're looking for something the day of or the next day I'll try and work with you.

I give 60, 90, 110, or 170-minute massage sessions.

PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE

I believe when it comes to healing all aspects of the self need to be involved. Its important to work on your emotions as they affect your health and vice versa. There is interesting research right now with the enteric nervous system (your gut) and your central nervous system (your brain) in diseases of not only the body, but also the mind. Western medicine is vey useful for short-term, acute symptoms, surgery being very helpful, but present limiting efficacy for positive long-term health. Chinese and Ayurveda medicinal perspectives, which do need more substantiated research, give us some great hints where Western medicine could improve. So taking care of your health has many different avenues, but regardless of the ambiguity of what treatment to choose, you can never go wrong in having a stretching and exercise regiment along with a healthy diet, taking time daily to replenish one's mental reserves, pursuing moral and spiritual development and surrounding yourself with positive associations. Massage and cupping are avenues one can take in addition to healthy lifestyles habit that help contribute to better health and stress-relief.
