From the reviews

…My massage and cupping session went far beyond the physical. It felt like the therapist was reading my body like a map, responding to tension I didn’t even realize I was holding, and guiding my system gently back to balance. The touch was confident and grounded, with just the right mix of pressure and flow.

★★★★★ — Myh, Jul 2026

I booked appointments with my 3 sisters for a friday afternoon. The process was great as they were able to accommodate us all. I had the hydrafacial which was great. The room was clean and the therapist was very thorough.

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.
