Excellent deep tissue massage with consistently strong pressure, professional and warm service, and cupping! The massage therapists are skilled and listen to your body - unlike some places who offer more generic treatments. Clean and calming ambience too.

★★★★★ — Krystal, Mar 2025

One of the best massages ever received! My boyfriend and I tried a 60 minute couples massage for the first time. It was very relaxing and we left feeling much better. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the massages, we really appreciated the hot stones and hot towels as well.

★★★★★ — Bridget, Apr 2023

This place is a gem. It is clean and fresh. Everything seems new. The massage table is comfortable and warm. The face cradle is adjustable so my neck was nice and straight. Lucy was very intuitive and worked the spots that needed the most attention. She was strong, nice, and very professional.

★★★★★ — Marc, Mar 2023

I have chronic back pain, and come here for deep tissue massage therapy. Binbin is my therapist, and she is a godsend. She is so skilled, and works really hard to bring me relief. I am so grateful for her.

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.
