From the reviews
Weekly massages really help me manage my chronically tense neck & shoulders, so I have seen hundreds of massage therapists over the years and across the country. Katie is a healer truly in a class of her own.
I have had many many massages in my life and Katie is by far the VERY BEST I have ever had. I don't usually go in for your run of the mill "feel good" massage even though she is terrific at that. I get a massage for physical therapy.
I LOVE coming to Katie to get my super tight shoulders and back fixed! She charges so little for how awesome she is. I am an aerialist and came to her for the first time after I injured my shoulder, and she fixed it so quickly I was able to get back into the studio within two days. She has magic hands!
Best massage I've ever had; after only an hour, my shoulders felt better than they had in a decade, and their pandemic procedures had me feeling very safe the whole way through. Front desk was delightful, the atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable, and Katie was wonderfully charming and 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.
