From the reviews
Love all of the staff and the owner, Gretchen! Everyone is welcoming and kind plus the vibe of the whole spa is cozy and luxurious! I am absolutely at ease once walking in! Felicia is THE best massage therapist I’ve ever worked with!
Amy is a miracle worker! First time went for the hot salt stone massage, and just had the cupping massage. She worked my areas of high tension so well that I think I was snoring.
Saltwater Massage is a great place to go. It’s very welcoming, clean, and relaxing. Joy has worked with me a couple of times and I am definitely going back. She is so thoughtful, gentle with her words, and an expert massage therapist! Joy listens to what your needs are. She is amazing.
Felicia was my massage therapist, and based on my experience, I didn't like it. I LOVED IT! She gave me one of the best massages of my life. She was so kind and addressed all my concerns to make me feel comfortable and relaxed.
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.
