From the reviews

First time here today. Beautiful decor. I loved that you are asked to leave your shoes by the door. They have comfy slippers for you to put on. Bathroom was so clean too. My 90 min. Massage was so helpful. Jahphina, did a great job. Perfect pressure throughout. I added on the foot scrub.

★★★★☆ — Amy, Apr 2021

Oshanah was absolutely wonderful, you can talk or stay silent but she is super sweet and does a thorough job, she made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. She cared about how everything was going. I can definitely tell she loves her job and truly cares about her clients needs and wants.

★★★★★ — Megan, Jul 2024

I’ve gone to Awakenings twice now, based off of rave reviews from my brother in law. Both visits were massages (with Teo), and if I could give them/him 10 stars, I would. The spa itself is cozy, yet airy with high ceilings, and smells amazing.

★★★★★ — Tracy, Jun 2025

Love it here. I feel myself decompress as soon as the elevator doors open. Ambience is inviting, staff is friendly & professional I've referred several friends & family members, which I won't do unless I really have a great experience.

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.
