★★★★★ — Maya, Sep 2021

This was such an amazing deep tissue massage! Sofia found all of my knots in the upper back and shoulders and spent a good amount of time working on them. The massage was relaxing and the space was clean, staff was very friendly! I called about an hour ahead and they were able to squeeze me in at the last minute.

★★★★★ — Yanely, Sep 2019

Their service is top notch and the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. You get a separate room for massage and sound isolation is great - you don’t hear any other noises. Had massage with Ginger and omg she was amazing! I felt like a new person after just 1 hour session.

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.
