From the reviews

Fantastic , firm and highly knowledgeable remedial massage with Devan. Really can't recommend enough. Just got back from Vietnam and Thailand and whilst different in style I felt this massage was more therapeutic than anything I tried abroad.

★★★★★ — Adam, Jan 2016

Polina is amazing. She provided huge relief. I had been dealing with stomach pain and issues for years and never really got any answers. A friend recommended Polina. Polina recommended tests which showed I had a significant Candida overgrowth. She put me on a specific diet and a few supplements.

I have been a customer / client here for many years! Polina is awesome. I came to pick up herbal remedies today (samples) and I'm happy to do so! Plus, support local businesses that I have come to in the past. Great place and good customer / client care. I highly recommend. 5 stars :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.
