Our Team |
Paul Kohlmeier, BPE, RMT, R.Ac. |
Paul is our course Creator and Lead Instructor. He has put so much time into making our courses the most informative evidence informed courses you will find. We all know there isn't much evidence on Cupping that's why we stick to the facts! Registered Massage Therapist and Registered Acupuncturist, Paul Kohlmeier is an experienced and skilled therapist who is also trained as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbalist. Graduating with a Physical Education degree from the University of Manitoba, Paul went on to obtain his Diploma in Massage Therapy from Wellington College and Diplomas in both Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Hua Xia Acupuncture and Herb College of Canada. Paul has a wealth of information looking for ways to get out of his head…which has led him to teaching and lecturing over the last 15 years. Paul runs a community acupuncture practice, in addition to his Massage Therapy practice from his clinic based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In addition to his keen interest in Massage Therapy and Chinese Medicine, Paul is a self-proclaimed research geek having participated in the World Fascia Congress, IN-CAM and the Massage Therapy Foundation Research Conference and loves bringing everything he learns into the treatment room as well as the classroom. Being certified in both Massage Therapy and Chinese Medicine, Paul has a unique ability to speak to the two different bodies of knowledge. He takes a decidedly different approach, working towards an explanatory narrative that represents current thinking and science, as well as adding a feedback-based model of explanation that includes a patient-directed approach. |
Michelle Roos, LMT |
Michelle has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2002 and has worked within the Massage Therapy profession for over 15 years with several well known companies attending trade shows and sharing her knowledge for products she loves. After taking many Cupping courses, Michelle & Christy started Cupping Canada and Cupping USA to provide the most affordable and high quality products possible to professionals utilizing Cupping Therapy in their practice. This then led to providing education for professionals that is informed by evidence in order to address some of the 'myths' and language that is regularly being used by many instructors and causing confusion within the market. Michelle has an extremely busy out call service in South Florida and you can frequently find her working backstage at concerts, with professional athletes or in a VIP area somewhere. Michelle also specializes in Pediatric Massage and is a Facial Specialist. When she isn't working she can be found in a hot yoga class, relaxing on the beach, baking or traveling around the world! |
