From the reviews

I have been a client at Direct Therapy Therapeutic Massage for several years, and her work has had a profound impact on my overall well-being, especially as someone managing an autoimmune condition. Her ability to intuitively find and address the areas that need the most attention is truly remarkable.

★★★★★ — Linda, Nov 2025

I had a wonderful experience with Maria today! I’m also a massage therapist and she really hit all my trouble areas and has the perfect amount of pressure! She did some great range of motion techniques with my hips and shoulders! I highly recommend seeing her! Outstanding job, I already booked my next appointment

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.
