Sakina Di Pace
Acupuncturist & Massage Therapist BSc(Hons) LicAc; Founder of The Facial Cupping Expert
Sakina has been practicing acupuncture for the past 10 years, both in the UK and in the US. She started using Facial Cupping, in addition to her needles, to help alleviate the pain of some 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 Facial Cupping into her Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments. If it could stimulate paralysed facial muscles, she knew that Facial Cupping could work in helping to improve facial muscle tone in her cosmetic patients. She’s has now created a facial cupping 6-step protocol available for beginner, as well as an accredited online course for professionals who wish to learn & become qualified to offer this amazing skin care technique to their clients.
