Smoldering Spirit Massage has a fantastic location with plenty of parking! That is a plus in my book immediately and my technician Ashley is totally short of amazing! She is accommodating in scheduling my hectic LIFE and totally on point with all my complaints.

Ashley has such solid hands with confident strokes. She’s used a variety of techniques and knows how to break up adhesions deep in my shoulders.. her hawt stone massage is my ultimate favorite,… as well as her flexibility. She always finds time in her schedule and is willing to travel to the ends of the earth,..

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.
