From the reviews

I recently had a lymphatic massage with Francine and it was an incredible experience. She is extremely knowledgeable about how the body works internally and took the time to explain how several of the issues I’ve been dealing with are actually connected.

★★★★★ — Teresa, Mar 2026

I recently had the very best massage I’ve ever received and that’s saying a lot because over the years I’ve had many massages from many different places including overseas.On Tuesday, I reluctantly went to MaPahtia Spa because I was sent there for a massage as a birthday gift. Francine is amazing at what she does.

★★★★★ — Frances, Jan 2026

I loved my deep tissue massage with Francine. It was one of the best I've ever had. Francine knew exactly where to release my tension and for a small woman, she has tremendous strength in her hands. I also love the ambience of Mapahtia Spa. Very soothing and relaxing vibe.

★★★★★ — Jayne, Sep 2024

A truly amazing experience. Francine offers a genuine relaxing and spiritually calming massage - a treatment my body and soul absolutely needed. The spa is clean, comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend her as she is professional and highly trained. I will definitely visit 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.

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.
