From the reviews
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.
Ashley is the best! Not only does she have a magic touch and help with any aches and pains I bring to her, but she goes one step further and gives a few pointers on how to alleviate minor aches before they become major. She's my first and last stop, because she's always been able to help!
Amazing, personal care. After a broken foot and six months of rehab, I can finally run painful due to Ashley's quality care. 🙃😀
Ashley does a wonderful job! I always feel better after our session. I highly recommend her.
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.
