The Curam Team
Marie Jansson
Founder & CEO
Marie founded Curam from her own experience of how small, simple things – done regularly – can make a big difference to the body. After several years of professional cupping, she began using the method in her own daily life and clearly noticed how it affected her recovery, energy and wellbeing. The idea was to make cupping more accessible in a modern life. Simple tools that are easy to use and can become a natural part of everyday life – after training, during the working day or as a moment just for yourself.
Curam was created to make recovery more accessible and sustainable. A way of caring for the body where simplicity is enough – and where self-care becomes a natural part of life.

What drives her is the power of moving together – creating environments where people feel safe, inspired and able to build sustainable habits over time.
When she discovered Curam, she saw the potential in combining simple tools with a deep physical experience. Today she leads training in Curam Recovery® and works closely with partners and the community to develop and spread Curam's way of working.
Sara Utberg
Training Manager, Curam Somatic®
Sara works at the meeting point of movement, body awareness and creative expression. With a background in yoga, energy work and facilitation, she creates experiences that invite a deeper connection with the body.
At Curam she is responsible for training in Curam Somatic®, leads classes and events, develops concepts and treatments, and creates content for our social channels.
Her way of working is intuitive yet clear, guiding participants to explore how the inner takes shape through movement, breath and presence.
Isabella dos Santos
Training & Concept Developer
Isabella was a pioneer in developing spa concepts and treatments around the world – from the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm to the Four Seasons in Istanbul and One&Only in Mexico. Her work rested on a deep understanding of the body, where traditional methods met modern practice.
She discovered cupping early on and integrated it naturally into both treatments and training. Together with Curam's founder Marie, she helped create Curam Recovery® and laid the foundation for the brand's class concepts, rituals and methodology.
Isabella passed away in June 2024, but her work lives on in Curam. Her knowledge, presence and way of seeing the body continue to shape everything we do.
Louise Forsby
Communication Manager
Louise works in marketing at Curam and helps shape content and communication that feels inspiring, personal and rooted in the brand.
Her first encounter with Curam was at a fitness convention, where she joined a Curam Recovery® class out of pure curiosity – and went home with her first cups. A few months later she became part of the team.
Today the cups are a natural part of her daily life – from recovery between workouts to face cupping and moments of self-care.

Annica came across cupping and Curam many years ago while looking for ways to optimise her recovery, to give her body the best possible conditions to enjoy physical activity – and with it, life. Annica has completed the Curam Recovery training as well as PT Cupping Professional, and uses the cups continuously with her PT clients as well as in her own training and recovery. Today Annica is part of the Curam team as Community Manager, and is there to help
people experience Curam's products, purpose and values in the best possible way, and to communicate and strengthen the brand through customer service, online workshops, events and support.
