From the reviews

Seamless process to book, check-in, and pay. Therapist (Taylor) was ready to go and actually started earlier. 120 min Swedish massage done by a professional, with clear experience and effective techniques while being extremely attentive to your problem areas and pressure levels.

★★★★★ — Janell, Apr 2026

In San Diego for a conference and we decided to schedule a 2 hour massage. Mellow Massage had great options so we booked a couples massage. We both agree, best massages we've had in a while. My therapist was incredibly flexible, moving from relaxation to deep tissue work as needed.

★★★★★ — Lorena, May 2026

Best 80 min massage I’ve had. Came in feeling really tight and left feeling lighter, and looser. I went to the La Jolla location, I had Nia and she was communicative, sensitive, attentive, strong, and nice. Exactly what you want from a massage. Also the place is modern, and aesthetically pleasing.

★★★★★ — Rita, Jun 2026

Cynthia is an amazing masseuse. She was able to do thai massage to straighten out my legs and then gave me an excellent Swedish massage.

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.
