From the reviews

Jess has truly found her calling and is an excellent massage therapist. Her skills allow her to find and work out all the knots and tension. She offers cupping that helps for a deeper stress release. I highly recommend booking a massage with Jess during your visit for a truly relaxing experience.

Jess at Island Massage is so amazing! From the moment I arrived, between her sweet smile and the atmosphere feeling welcoming, and genuinely restorative, I was pretty quickly at peace and ready to relax. The care and attention given throughout the session made it clear that wellness and comfort are truly a priority.

My boyfriend booked massages for us while we are in Ocracoke for the week. The environment was so soothing and calm. Jess was the ultimate professional, spending time getting to know us and what we were looking for and what to avoid. Treated us with respect and kindness…..

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.
