From the reviews

I've been going to Ann for a couple years now. She's very attentive and listens to what's going on with my body, and works on me accordingly. It's not always a restful/ peaceful massage, but that's not always what my body needs. I'm very grateful to have found her.

★★★★★ — Ann, Aug 2023

5 stars *****Sports massage therapy**** My appointment was with Jean Newell who had great pressure when needed and very easily identified when and where the most work was needed. She was super easy to work with, and was able to really stretch and massage the muscles needed.

★★★★★ — Jj, Apr 2026

Ann did a great job of wondering what areas I'd like her to focus on before the massage and then checking in during the massage to make sure it was good. I felt fantastic after the massage. I booked the next one before I left that day.

★★★★★ — Carla, Dec 2024

Was having vertigo issues and bad neck pain for over a week was feeling so miserable. Made an appointment with Ann and she took such good care of me she spent a whole hour massaging my neck, shoulders and arm and also during the massage i laid my head in a neck foam thing and by the time i left it was the first time…

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.
