From the reviews

Stephanie is wonderful 🤩 I have had a lot of massages and tried a lot of therapists through the years and she is head and shoulders above all them. I’m done searching for my massage therapist in San Diego.

★★★★★ — Kim, Apr 2026

I recieved a certificate for a prenatal massage at my baby shower. After a very difficult pregnancy and a painful 9th month, I booked my appointment. I had barely been able to walk or sleep the last two weeks. At 41 weeks I was set to be induced, but really wanted to try and get things going naturally.

★★★★★ — Melinda, Sep 2016

I did the ashiatsu massage with Stephanie and had an amazing experience! Booking online was simple and quick. I got a confirmation text instantly. The office is located in a cool old Victorian house in Golden Hill. Plan some extra time for parking as it's a little limited.

★★★★★ — Jonathan, Jul 2025

I moved to San Diego a little over a year ago. When I found a chiropractor and asked who she would recommend for a massage she said Tina at SomaSense Bodywork was the only person that she would be recommending to anyone who asks. I went to Tina and I was not surprised that my chiropractor would choose her.

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.
