From the reviews

I was happy to find this place when I did a quick Google search. It was easy to schedule online the night before. They also offer incentives for those who pay in cash. Today was my first time at this establishment. The massage was awesome!! I did the deep tissue massage and it was worth it!

Cathy Cathy Cathy! I am fitness competitor and the consistency and strength of this woman is unmatched, she knows exactly how to handle my aches and always leaves me wishing I did 90 minutes or 2 hours! She is the absolute best masseuse and I only go to her ☀️🙏🏻💪🏻

★★★★★ — Jeff, Aug 2025

I just had a deep tissue massage with Lulu, and she was absolutely fantastic! The price was very reasonable too. I'll definitely be coming back here again!

★★★★★ — Andrea, Oct 2025

I went in for a 90-min Swedish massage with Cathy, and it was the most relaxing massage I've had in at least 4 years! I get massages quite frequently, and I always go in for pain management, so the massages are usually more physical therapy-esque than calming. This one was amazing, and i almost fell asleep twice!

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.
