From the reviews

I had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Monica during a couples session over Valentine’s Day weekend while visiting my boyfriend in Des Moines. I’ve had monthly massages for the past five years across the country, and I can confidently say Monica gave me one of the best massages of my life.

★★★★★ — Cristina, Jan 2025

Melissa at Soulshine is the best massage therapist ever! I live in Virginia and discovered Soulshine a year ago just kind of randomly when I was in town working a convention. After a weekend of back breaking work I decided to treat myself to a massage and just randomly picked Soulshine.

★★★★★ — Alex, Jun 2026

I had an incredible experience with Melissa. I came in struggling with extremely tight fascia, poor lymphatic drainage, fluid retention, and nerve pain that was beginning to affect my daily movement and comfort, especially during pregnancy. You could physically see how restricted everything was before my session.

★★★★★ — Deatra, May 2026

I have had many massages in my life and Monica, at Soulshine Massage Bliss is by far the best... Prior to going to Monica, I had been told by a chiropractor that I would need 2 times a week therapy for 6 months to fix an issue in my neck...

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.
