From the reviews

As a big guy weighing 335 lbs I came in with sharp pain on right lower back running down to my feet barely being able to walk, Claudia using Thai stretches combined with deep tissue massage and wet cupping eliminated the issue, after the 2 hour session I was able to walk straight again and she showed me the correct…

★★★★★ — David, Apr 2025

Claudia is a true treasure! The second I walked into her studio I felt at home. The space exudes calm and I immediately began to relax. Before beginning the massage, Claudia asked me specific questions about areas of pain, focus, and even some misgivings I had.

★★★★★ — Karl, Sep 2025

From my very first visit with Claudia, I knew I had found the right massage therapist. I came in with a very sore shoulder, tight shoulder blades, and constant back tension that had been causing daily pain. After just one session, my shoulder mobility improved, the stiffness eased, and I felt relief the very same day.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jun 2026

I had an amazing experience with Claudia. Leading up to my appointment, she took the time to ask about what I do for work and how my body feels day to day so she could truly tailor the massage to my needs.

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Bodywork and Cupping by Claudia

Bodywork and Cupping by Claudia comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — a female practitioner is available here. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.

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.
