From the reviews
Gina is one of the most knowledgable & skilled massage therapists I have ever encountered (and I've had A LOT of massage experience in my life)! After my first visit I told my husband 'OMG - I found our person'!
Amy was wonderful. She is both warm and skilled. She was very thorough in her approach and was very concerned for my comfort and safety. She did a great job identifying and treating my problem areas- specifically my injured shoulder and my tight psoas. I can’t wait until my next session!
The best massage center I have been to and I've gotten a lot of massages. Gina and her whole team are highly experienced and very knowledgeable. I came here after having major surgery that made it difficult to use one of my arms.
I was in so much pain and called for an appointment. I was so lucky that Gina called me right back and I got an appointment with Amy for that evening. She was so gentle and so careful and was determined to help me feel better. She definitely made me feel better.
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.
