Nicole took care of my pain in my back that I have had over 10 years and have been to every specialist there was and with regular message she has given me back my quality of life.

Wendy and Nicole are amazing!! They know how to do exactly what I need every time and are so sweet.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Aug 2016

Absolutely fantastic. Wendy and Nicole (sisters) were very personable and friendly and really new what they were doing. It was my first message and my gf's millionth and we both had a great experience. We also left with delicious brownies! Price was very right and we will definitely be back. You need to try this place!

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.
