From the reviews
…She not only does amazing deep tissue where I need it, but will give me stretches, do guasha, cupping, reflexology and more. What I also love is that she's comfortable if we decide to chat while having a massage or if I don't want to - she's amazing at sensing what her clients need.
…Maddie's fresh approach utilizes various format of massage depending on client needs (cupping, reflexology, etc). I have chronic left-side TMJ issues that plague me with neck, shoulder, and back pain. She gives a face/head massage like nobody's business - bonus points for clearing my sinuses.
maddie does a wonderful job listening to my ever changing needs to help provide me with temporary pain relief, as i have scoliosis and have never had full relief from my daily pain. we are working together on long term goals to figure out how best to help me. she is very caring and is able to switch gears when needed!
Maddie is a fantastic masseuse - warm, communicative, and highly skilled at her craft. I appreciate the thorough intake form, the explanations of what she's doing when she's working on a target area, and her checking in as she works. Bonus for having a good sense of humor and making clients feel comfortable and heard.
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.
