From the reviews
Starr is wonderful! I went to her for my first massage experience and just had my second session with her. She makes me feel very comfortable and is easy to communicate with. She utilizes cupping and breathing techniques that make the experience very therapeutic. I felt cared for and so relaxed afterward!
Highly recommend getting a massage from Starr! She makes it very easy to give feedback on pressure, but honestly, I don't ever need to. I describe her massage technique as gently coaxing muscles into relaxing, instead of beating them into submission! (As some other styles seem to do.) It's highly effective.
Starr is amazing!! She has been my go to therapist for the last 4 1/2 years. She knows exactly where all my painful spots are and how to treat them. I also love how she incorporates hot stones and cupping within the session. Her magnesium creams are also a plus!!
Starr is amazing. She is super knowledgeable and generous with her explanations of why I have certain discomfort and how to make it better. Not just by her magic massages, but by herbs, lotions, and therapeutic yoga suggestions which I always use! I recommend Starr without hesitation! She is the best.
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.
