From the reviews

This place rocks! Was so refreshing to see a business handle healthcare in an ethical way. It felt so validating to have my muscle tension that was impacting my life seen as something that could and should be remedied with ease when it comes to healthcare access and affordability.

★★★★★ — Nikki, Dec 2024

I received a detox massage with cupping and moxibustion at Mahal Bodywork, and it was exactly what my body and soul needed. Julia holds such grounded, intuitive space—her hands are both therapeutic and deeply attuned. The session was powerful.

★★★★★ — Victoria, Sep 2025

Mg is a true healer— each moment of my therapy with her was full of care, comfort, and skillful intuition. I have sciatica and emotional trauma built up in my body; after my sessions with Mg, I felt renewed and lighter— my aches were loosened and I could finally move again without layers of pain!

★★★★★ — Jane, Sep 2022

A massage with Emgee is not just a massage, it is an entire experience unlike any other. With a nurturing, intuitive touch, she is an incredibly skilled therapist. The shirodhara treatment she offers is an incredibly soothing, heart-opening experience and her table thai is very invigorating.

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.
