From the reviews
…Cynthia has great massage technique with cupping and stretching. She’s friendly, professional and has good people skills. Overall nice first impression!
Cynthia is an excellent therapist. I’ve been seeing her for about 6 months and she has really alleviated the pain I had in my shoulders. The maintenance visits are both good for body and mind. Cynthia has a very pleasant disposition and she really respects how I’m feeling.
Cynthia was kind and could see I was in pain, so she wasted no time getting started. She helped me relieve some serious tension in my upper, neck and shoulders. She checked in throughout, asking about pressure, comfort and before using oils and lotions which was nice.
Cynthia is an incredibly caring and skilled therapist. My husband and I saw her after saying goodbye to our sweet dog; the compassion she showed us and how personally she took each of our physical care will have us going to see her again soon. Thank you so much!
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.
