From the reviews

I went to see Vanessa yesterday because my body honestly felt like it was breaking down. As a fellow massage therapist, I’ve been practicing a lot and neglecting my own active recovery — shame on me! I knew I needed someone who really understood the work our bodies go through, and Vanessa absolutely delivered.

★★★★★ — Wyatt, Feb 2026

Vanessa was absolutely incredible! My 90 minute massage + cupping was the perfect balance of relaxation and the kind of discomfort that a deep tissue massage can have. It hurt so good. The tension in my neck and shoulders has dissipated and I feel ready to take on my week.

★★★★★ — Cecilia, Jun 2025

Cupping NYC is such a LIC gem. Vanessa was amazing to work with. It’s my first with cupping and she listened to my pain areas and was able to work through all my problem areas. I highly recommend and definitely will be back soon.

★★★★★ — Jason, Jan 2026

What an incredible experience. I met Vanessa in Palm Springs during our weekend getaway and we just started talking about Welness, pain management, Lack of sleep and etc. The next thing you know she does Magic.

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.
