★★★★★ — Hailey, Mar 2026

Doug is simply the best massage therapist I've ever had. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel completely at ease. He has an incredible ability to find exactly where the tension is and works it out with just the right amount of pressure. I always leave feeling like a new person.

★★★★★ — Mashara, Jun 2026

Doug was amazing! I’ve been dealing with migraines along with significant neck and shoulder tension, and he really listened to my concerns and focused on the areas that needed attention. After my session, I noticed a significant reduction in pain and tightness and felt more relief than I have in a long time.

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.
