From the reviews

My experience with Juliette over the past five years has been wonderful. After moving to Oakland I wanted to start up monthly massages and shopped around. Her FAQs had a telling answer to whether deep-tissue hurt: yes it did, but within tolerance, to do its job.

★★★★★ — Louis, Mar 2020

I love coming to Life Balance Massage for the occasional relaxing but strong massage. Juliette Wilk is an incredible service provider! I always feel safe, heard, and cared for here. Juliette is kind, friendly, very experienced, and her massage studio is hella comfy and accessible.

★★★★★ — Xtina, Jul 2024

SO great. Juliette was inviting and professional, and her massage was incredibly effective. I had been having issues with my back and neck, and I left the massage feeling incredibly loose and relaxed. I'm so grateful for that transformation!

★★★★★ — Megan, Nov 2022

Juliette is such a consistently amazing massage therapist. I feel worked out every single time. Grateful for her skill and intuition. I also appreciate her clear communication around covid precautions.

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.
