From the reviews

…After my first session my very large dark purple bruise had faded to a light yellow within 24/48 hours. My swelling greatly decreased, and I also had great conversation throughout my session. She is extremely professional, polite and courteous.

★★★★★ — M, Apr 2022

Had our very first couples therapy today and it was awesome. Both my husband and I have very demanding jobs so this was overdue. Both Meredith and Thea were extremely professional, kind and made the whole process very comfortable. The room was perfect, dim lighting and soft music. It was quiet and relaxing.

★★★★★ — A, Jan 2026

Very relaxing experience. Somehow lighter pressure but hit all the right spots. Felt like I was in a meditative state. Very very good experience. Maryanne was my therapist and she was wonderful. She has an amazing touch.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
