With Arooj Shahzadi Akram, qualified cupping practitioner at Pure Healing with Arooj
How did you start?
My journey into Health Psychology and holistic practices has been deeply personal for over a decade now. I have observed the effects of health conditions, which has sparked interest regarding the interconnection between physical and mental health.
What’s the best thing about working in the health industry?
Having the privilege of guiding others through their journey and creating a safe space where they feel heard and understood.Â
What is cupping?
Holistic therapy that involves placing suction cups on the skin. Benefits include improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, and the promotion of healing, supporting pain relief and stress.

How do you improve clients’ health?
Providing a combination of professional health and psychological insights with complementary therapies enables greater control over health.
What’s your favourite natural therapy?
Deep and meaningful psychological connections, alongside holistic practices including spiritual healing/massages/cupping therapy.Â
What treatment/service/therapy would you advise everyone to try?
Everyone can benefit from a massage and the cupping complements the healing. Research suggests that such treatments can lower inflammation and improve immunity. Wet Cupping is the fastest treatment to obtain results for tightness reduction. Fire cupping is becoming a client favourite!
Lastly, what’s your top tip for relaxing at home?
Engage in activities you enjoy that bring you inner peace. Turn off your phone, prepare a healthy meal, pray, meditate, take a soak in the bath, connect with yourself and your body will thank you.
