💆 effective pain & tension relief 7 mentions

“Since I’ve been seeing him, my chronic neck pain has almost disappeared - even when chiropractic and PT did not help, and the pain was excruciating at times.”

🧑‍⚕️ skilled, knowledgeable practitioner 8 mentions

“I would highly recommend him to anyone, but especially those with chronic pain because I believe his experience and expertise can really help!”

🌿 gentle & comfortable 6 mentions

“But he is so in tune with the body, and works in a way that feels so intuitive as to know exactly when to pull back and work through spots that require a softer and gentler touch.”

From the reviews

…He used a multimodal approach to my deep tissue massage with hot stones, singing bowls, heated wet towels, some non-static and static cupping, his homemade buttery smooth paste - all of which he asked permission before applying.

★★★★★ — C, Aug 2023

…He employs a variety of modalities to best serve my body each time (from cupping to stretching to deep tissue). I’ve had massages all over the world and he’s one of the best. I could not function without my regular treatments. And Nick’s energy is amazing too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

★★★★★ — Catherine, Jun 2024

Nick is fantastic - he always goes above and beyond in every session, helping my body move and work better afterwards. Since I’ve been seeing him, my chronic neck pain has almost disappeared - even when chiropractic and PT did not help, and the pain was excruciating at times.

★★★★★ — Katelyn, Jan 2024

Nick is beyond amazing. Every time I see him, I feel 100% better and stand taller and more confident. He goes beyond the time on his table, providing exercises, video links, and more to keep me getting better.

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.
