“They were incredibly kind and professional, and they effectively alleviated my neck pain.”

From the reviews
I seriously believe that a higher force brought me to Masja & Daniel about 6-7 months ago I was having bad accidents on my bike and unfortunately had a couple serious injuries to my right hip and right foot. I was desperate and unemployed, so a lot was going on.
Masja is a very warm person, and an exceptional masseuse! When I first came to see her, my pain levels were at a 10/10, possibly 11 (I have a shifted disc in my neck and a few old injuries that act up). I couldn't focus on anything except the pain.
This was my first experience trying massage therapy, specifically the cupping massage, and it was nothing less than extraordinary. Masja is exceptional! She is kind and has a very welcoming, friendly demeanor.
Amazing treatment- highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of visiting aster Acupuncture by Dan and Masja during a recent business trip, and I can't recommend them enough! They were incredibly kind and professional, and they effectively alleviated my neck pain.
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.
