From the reviews
Ashley was amazing! I've never considered getting a massage before but was gifted a half-hour session for my birthday. My speculation on weather or not I'd feel any pain relief soon melted away along with my stress.
Ashley’s passion for what she does is so inspiring to me to take care of myself. Her performance and explanations are reassuring that I am being given what I need. And her abilities show in every fiber (pun intended) of her being.
Vickie truly helped me with a bizarre migraine issue that left me with head pressure, dizziness, motion sickness, and feeling foggy and unable to concentrate. I did several sessions quickly, and the majority of my symptoms started going away.
Vickie does a great job! She has been voted best massage in Story County for many years which is just what she is! You will get a great massage, no fluff and buff here!
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.
