From the reviews
I went in and came out a brand new person....super relaxing experience 😌. I received a gift card for my birthday which included a 1 hr facial and 1hr massage. I only wished I was offered a cup of water I was parched after that 2hrs otherwise amazing experience. I would highly recommend and will definitely go back
Amazing! Loved the atmosphere and the personal attention to my needs. Vilena is awesome! Would highly recommend! From making sure I was comfortable throughout the process, to the kindness of a cup of water at the end; start to finish professionalism worth every penny!
If you’re looking for the kind of place that feels like a genuine retreat from the world, Inner Essence Spa is it. I’ve been coming here since 2017, and every single visit has left me feeling relaxed, and cared for. The environment itself is warm and peaceful— Ula and Vilena, are absolute magic.
Receive a prenatal massage today and it was absolutely amazing! Wendy was great. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and taken care of. Highly recommend! This was a gift and they worked everything out with the person who purchased this for me on the phone who also stated how great the service was over the phone to…
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.
