From the reviews

This place is a gem. I have gone here many times to have a therapeutic massage by Kathy (co-owner). She has healing hands, is very knowledgeable, and is very attentive to clients’ needs. The atmosphere feels very peaceful and restorative.

I've seen Courtney a couple of times for relaxation massage, and plan on going back. I found myself laughing at the sudden release of tension that I hadn't even felt until it was gone. Whatever method she uses to adjust the body's energy, it worked well for me, and I don't really know what else to say.

★★★★★ — Pat, Feb 2026

I had the pleasure of seeing Mary J. for a deep tissue massage- my first massage ever! She was professional, warm, kind, discreet, and very knowledgeable. I will be back to see her for many more. The atmosphere at Restoring Balance is warm and beckoning. There is convenient parking located in front of the building.

★★★★★ — Maria, Oct 2025

I went in for a prenatal massage with Courtney and left feeling wonderful. She asked me questions before we got started and the bed was warm and set up with pillows so I felt comfortable the entire time. It was so nice being able to fully relax. I am already looking forward to my next massage after baby is here!

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.
