From the reviews

We had a couples massage and it was amazing. Tanya and Ross did such a great job taking care of us. Ross got my husband so relaxed, that he fell asleep and was snoring. 😂 I had Tanya and she found knots I didn’t even know I had until she expertly worked them out for me.

★★★★★ — Tracy, Jun 2024

I am so happy I found Tanya! She is kind, intuitive, and has been able to get a chronic issue with a tight shoulder under control that I’ve been dealing with for over a decade, in just a few visits. I love the online booking and everything about the location.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Aug 2025

I cannot say enough great things about my experience at Elemental Compass! We recently moved to the area and I was looking for a good therapist in TC who specifically does Myofacial Release.

★★★★★ — J, Nov 2025

I have been dealing with chronic pain in my left side abdomen while sleeping, for over 3 years. After CT scans, MRI’s, ultrasounds and many doctor appointments, I saw a plastic surgeon from U of M Ann Arbor to inquire into surgery to repair a hernia, thinking that might be causing the pain.

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.
