From the reviews

I decided to try this place and loved it! David was very good, the perfect amount of pressure (strong, but not too strong). I love that the lady at the front desk asked me what pressure I wanted (soft medium or firm). I walked in very stiff and sore everywhere and walked out feeling like a marshmallow.

★★★★★ — Robin, Jan 2025

I’ve been here twice, once for cupping and once just for a massage and felt great after!

★★★★★ — Em, Jun 2026

I love this place! The people are kind and low-key. It feels casual and unpretentious. It’s not fancy- so if you need that, it’s not for you. I always feel like butter when I leave. I am surprised by all the complaints about tips.

★★★★★ — Dulce, Jan 2026

I love this place. I’ve been coming here for probably my over a decade. The massages I get here are truly the very best. I used to come once a week or twice a month but now I can only afford 1x a month but it’s so good - I’ll never stop coming back!!

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.
