From the reviews

Dr Kim is the best!!! He’s so helpful and so patient and answered all my questions through our tuina massage and cupping session. I felt so much better after it and I’m very relieved from what I was worried about with my body. Place is nice, clean and cute, but it’s kinda hidden.

★★★★★ — Kathy, Oct 2020

Jun did an excellent job. He was firm yet gentle. This is one of the better massages I’ve had! I also tried cupping for the first time and my body feels so relaxed and refreshed! I’ll definitely be returning here. And the massage studio is attached to a very cute cafe! I 100% recommend!

★★★★★ — Candace, Jun 2021

I went today for my first ever Tuina massage experience with Dr Jun. It was wonderful. I have very tight muscles and this massage focused on all the tightness and the pressure applied helped relieve the tightness. It’s the type of massage that helps you address pain points.

★★★★★ — Sonja, May 2021

THE BEST!!! I love this place. I've had 5 sessions here (each session I had included cupping, massage and acupuncture) and it was definitely worth it. I always come out of the clinic feeling peaceful, relaxed and rejuvenated. I started working out/ lifting more and Dr.

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.
