“The space is calm and welcoming, and parking was super easy right behind the building off Woodward.”
From the reviews
My first massage - at 45 years old, I'm long overdue! The entire process was easy to navigate, from booking to checking in and chatting with the massage therapist about my specific needs. Walking in off of busy Woodward Ave, I was immediately greeted with a sense of serene calm, and I instantly relaxed a bit.
I had the most wonderful massage with Patti. She applied deep but not uncomfortable pressure and checked in with me on my comfort level. After the massage, I noticed the knots and tension in my shoulders were gone. Essential Massage Therapy is a very professional and clean environment.
I have been coming to this place for years! Every single therapist is amazing and a lot of times I’m last minute and go to whoever (you can not go wrong here). But lately I’ve been scheduling with Lisa, she is so amazing and my body melts into the table as all my aches and pains disappear. She is a true healer.
Aaron is outstanding. He is highly attentive and has a deep understanding of how my profession affects my body and overall health. His awareness and thoughtful approach make every session both effective and restorative.
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.
