From the reviews

I’ve been suffering post 2 cervical neck surgeries since 12-16-22 and 6-23-23 and cannot progress. I found Danielle and saw deep tissue and cupping and thought I’d give her a try. She is wonderful and not afraid to dive in and help. Strong hands and bold personality makes for strong therapeutic work.

★★★★★ — Diane, Oct 2023

Best massage I've ever had! Danielle is great about focusing on each person's problem areas in addition to an overall massage. She's also not afraid to get in and get those knots out. She also took the time to explain things to me and what would help relieve my muscle tension. She's very friendly and professional.

★★★★★ — Tami, Feb 2017

Always wonderful! Danielle has great knowledge involving the body, how it functions and can distinguish issues through assessment. She's been able to work through some really rough and tight muscles on me and I have been going to her for years!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Nov 2018

THE place to go for some serious massage work and healing. Danielle's magical hands have helped me with my chronic migraines, and she knows exactly what to do to take the tension out of my neck and shoulders.

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.
