Ali is an exceptional massage therapist. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Her calm and peaceful presence creates a reassuring environment from the moment the session begins.

I had a great massage with Alicia. She’s really skilled at deep tissue work and does an amazing job finding and working through tight areas while still keeping the session comfortable and intentional. The pressure was just right for what I needed, and I felt a huge difference afterward.

Alicia is an amazing woman inside and out. Truly caring about the person as a whole. She does amazing work and we are very happy every time we visit her. She always figures out the troubled spots and takes care of it.

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.
