From the reviews

I see Rachel about once a month for a massage to help relieve the symptoms of my TMJ disorder. She is thorough, really works the muscles that are causing me pain, and is super communicative throughout the process.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Apr 2022

I have had my share of massages throughout my life, however, ever since I have started to see Rachel I will never go anywhere else. She takes the time to really work on the spots I have issues with and makes sure throughout the whole massage I am comfortable.

★★★★★ — Shana, Nov 2022

I can't say enough wonderful things about Rachel Bonesteel and her daughter Juliet at Intentions - A Space for Women's Healing. Rachel's therapeutic massages are nothing short of amazing.

★★★★★ — Seneca, Apr 2024

WOW! I hadn't gotten a massage in years but went recently due to recurring tension issues and didn't want to go to the big name alternative nearby. I had an appointment with Juliet, and she did an INCREDIBLE job.

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.
