From the reviews
…I get cupping done to my back but she does so many other things that break down my super tightness and strains and I feel the release. She does a ton in and hour (aroma, massage, stones, cupping, salts...
…From stones, to cupping, mini facial or foot massage, plus the massage! If you haven't booked a massage with Irena, this is your sign to do it! It's 100% worth it and everyone deserves at least 1 hr of pampering!
…She used Himalayan Salt, Hot Stones and Cupping which really loosened up my back muscles so much so, I returned the next day for more. She is very accommodating to your needs. Her set up is very private. I visited her both with a morning appt as well as an afternoon appt and both times the room was quiet and peaceful.
…Turned out that it also included cupping, which I've heard of from friends. It leaves marks on your back but nothing crazy. Didn't hurt at all, just a tightness sensation. The room was peaceful with a diffuser, soft music, and dim lighting. I feel super relaxed now and would definitely go back again. Recommended.
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.
