From the reviews
I had injured my shoulder and upper back. Francine did an excellent job of pinpointing and massaging exact locations, helping me to heal much faster. She is also very good at verbally relaxing through her soft, soothing voice.
Francine does amazing work, and the ambiance of her studio is relaxing. I started coming to Mapahita because I was in extreme pain from a herniated disc, and it was close to my work, and im glad i did. Francine was able to offer some relief from my suffering, 10/10, would recommend to friends and family.
I would highly recommend Mapahtia Spa to anyone looking for a top-tier spa experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Francine is an experienced therapist who understands and delivers hearing! Thank you for your exceptional work with creating an enjoyable environment and experience.
Francine is amazing! She is so nice and worked wonders on my back. Her space is wonderful and makes you feel like you are on a magical vacation. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again 🙌🏼
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.
