From the reviews

I had a great experience at Sanctuary Massage and I'm excited to become a repeat customer! I had a lot of tightness in my lower back that was really worked out through the deep tissue massage. I also did a 15 minute cupping add on (first time trying cupping) and it was a fantastic addition to the experience.

★★★★★ — Abby, Apr 2026

I adore sanctuary. All the therapists I have seen here have been great. I saw Spenser B today and she was FANTASTIC for deep pressure. I very nearly said “I love you” out loud during the massage. lol. I give her a 10000/10 recommendation if you want someone to really work deep on the neck/ upper shoulder area.

★★★★★ — K, Nov 2025

My first massage ever, happened to be a much needed prenatal massage @30weeks pregnant w/ the lovely healing hands Jenni !!! The receptionist (I didn’t get her name) but she instantly provided a gentle welcoming atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Shelby, Aug 2025

My husband and I have gotten massages here in the past and its always been my favorite to go to. We both just had massage therapist Spenser; and they were absolutely incredible.

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.
