Filipina Healing Hands - Meet Our Massage Guru & Premier Show Opening!
Have You Tried Ventosa?
Ever had fire and glass cups on your back? It sounds wild, but that's Ventosa! Also known as cupping therapy, this traditional Filipino technique uses heated glass to create suction on the skin. This heated suction aims to reduce pain, improve blood flow, and balance energy while relieving tension.
Welcome to Season 1, Episode 1 of “The Boss Upstairs”!
Today, we’re exploring a special twist added to a 90-minute Swedish massage by our talented guest, Mae, a certified massage therapist who travels from island to island servicing her clients.
In today’s session, Mae introduced the "Ventosa" twist, enhancing my wife’s 90-minute Swedish massage with the healing power of hot cups. Ventosa can seamlessly complement any massage style, including "Hilot," an ancient Filipino healing practice that goes beyond mere muscle relief. It focuses on achieving holistic balance—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Join us for some island banter, bodywork wisdom, and Mae’s signature charm, all set in a modern-style Western home amid a rice field, hosted by an expat and his Filipina wife against the sunny backdrop of Bago City. Whether you're looking for laughs or a taste of island life, this episode has something for everyone!
