What clients say about the cupping here
“She is the first massage therapist that has been able to help me acheive being pain free for significant periods of time.”
“Every time has been very good, professional, great communication on my needs.”
“I’d never had a massage before, and she walked me through the process, as well as helped me to design an experience tailored to my needs.”
“I would definitely recommend Ascent if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing massage without all the extra frills/stuffiness of a bigger massage company”
“She is super helpful with any workout soreness/injury and has been great for general massage/stress relief as well.”
From the reviews
Ali is a fantastic massage therapist. She takes the time to understand what I need and works on all the right points of tension. She also incorporates techniques like cupping and myofascial release. I highly recommend her.
Ali was really professional and listened to my concerns. The massage therapy she provided was better than any massage I’ve ever had. I felt a lot loose afterward, having gone in with really tight back muscles. I enjoyed the dynamic cupping. I plan to return.
I am an ongoing client I feel very well attended to. She combines massage and cupping to address troublesome areas on my 68 year old body. Her massages are excellent and in fact I don’t believe I’ve ever had any better before Ali.
Massages with Ali/Ascent have been such a good addition to my self care routine. She is super helpful with any workout soreness/injury and has been great for general massage/stress relief as well.
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.
