★★★★★ — Emma, Oct 2023

Found Jeannine online after Sage Wellness closed and just had my first session. Jeannine was great with communication about covid safety and was warm and welcoming at the appointment. The space is really cute and quiet.

★★★★★ — Alix, Nov 2021

I utilize massage to help my body recover from a very ongoing active lifestyle. My experience working with Jeannine was great. Her space was welcoming, the massage helped relieve some long built up tension, and without prompting she offered me feedback on what parts of my body seemed extra tight / gave me tips for…

★★★★★ — Eben, Sep 2023

I just had the most amazing massage experience with Jeannine! Her office has such a calming vibe and her technique is super restorative. I'm thrilled to say that I'm now pain-free after my session, which is a huge relief since I've been dealing with chronic pain and stress.

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.
