From the reviews

Sophia provides an excellent massage. I highly recommend her as she strives to do her best each and every visit. Been seeing her for a few years now and love that she opened her own place. Looking forward to many more years in her hands. 😃

★★★★★ — Bin, Mar 2025

I have been seeing Sophia for deep tissue massage for almost 2 years now. I play a lot of competitive Pickleball and I lift weights 3 to 4 times a week. I am generally sore most days of the week and Sophia is excellent at pinpointing muscle stress, tension, and injury.

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.
