What clients say about the cupping here
“Most importantly, she skillfully released tension not only in my face, but also in my shoulders, head, and even my back.”
“Very experienced, she knew the right questions to ask and adapted to what I needed after recently having achilles surgery.”
“Alexis listened to the physical issues I was having and immediately tailored our first session to begin addressing those problems.”
“Even though the treatments feel so decadently relaxing, I no longer consider these sessions to be an extravagance, but rather an extremely useful tool in maintaining my health.”
“The space was welcoming and cozy, and she was a wealth of knowledge about how the muscles in the body connect and interact with each other.”
From the reviews
You will not regret booking Alexis! It's hard to find a masseuse strong enough for my liking, but she was great. She also specializes in the Buccal technique - you may not know you need it, but you likely do. :) Alexis is a special find, I'll definitely be back!
Alexis has been wonderful helping with my TMJ and tight mouth muscles. She has given me exercises to do at home to continue improvement. I have had a full body message as well and she amazing, extremely knowledgeable and has set a plan for me.
Such detail and excellence. Alexis is wonderful. Walked in with a pinched nerve, unable to life my head without pain. And she was able to help with the healing process, so I could function with the holidays. Also went in for TMJ on a different occasion. It was “painful” and effective.
Alexis was wonderful! Super knowledgeable and kind, she cared for me so well in our first hour-long session focusing on jaw tension. I felt immediate relief and can’t wait to go back for a longer session.
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.
