I’ve been going to Fernanda at Apex Retreat for 15 years and she never disappoints me. I love that she Taylor’s my appointments to my needs. She truly cares about me as an individual and it’s obvious she has a passion for her work.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Mar 2025

Jason was very knowledgeable and professional. The massage was amazing! Jason was very open about what I could do differently in my daily routine to get my body back to normal. Jason also informed me on what muscles I need to work on in the gym.

★★★★★ — Phillip, Jan 2023

It's not the first time I get treated with Fernanda santiago. All of my experiences with her have been amazing. I went to the clinic and my experience was 1000 times better. Very professional and friendly staff and I always feel so relaxed when I go there.

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.
