What clients say about the cupping here
“Hector is not only highly professional but also incredibly knowledgeable about the body and how to address pain and tension.”
“I told him I sit a lot at work and go to school so my back and shoulders were killing me, he did so well I left feeling extremely relaxed and looking forward to my next appointment!”
“The space was very clean, calming, and welcoming.”
“Beyond that, she’s super friendly, welcoming, and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time.”
From the reviews
Great location, friendly reception from the therapist Kacie Johnston, comfortable surroundings, comfortable setting in the room. Kacie asked good questions about any special needs I may require attention with, and checked with me throughout the session to make sure I was comfortable with the treatment.
The masseuse was lovely and very intuitive. I immediately felt relaxed upon laying down the table. The pressure was perfect. I immediately recommended her to my husband afterwards and had already scheduled a follow up before the end of the month!
I absolutely loved the cute set up and the dog. The heated toilet seat was absolutely amazing but I was slightly chilly. Great service. All staff were kind courteous and professional.
Shiona is truly fantastic. I came in feeling very tight in several areas of my body, and she was able to release so much of that tension. She worked thoughtfully and thoroughly, and I left feeling real relief. She consistently checked in about pressure and comfort, which made me feel completely at ease.
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.
