★★★★★ — Mario, Oct 2024

I have been living with bone spurs on my spine, severe knee pain, and high blood pressure for years. For Helena at TCM helping people heal is her joy! It shows in the excellence of her work. Helena expertly explained how her Massage Therapy makes good health its goal, and as a team we will reach that goal. The results?

★★★★★ — Sheila, Oct 2024

Who knew there was so much more to massage! This is truly a "therapy clinic," I've learned a lot as a patient here at TCM and Helena goes much deeper than simply rubbing your back--she treats you as an individual with specific ailments.

★★★★★ — Abi, Apr 2025

I was recommended by a friend to TCM. Their service is amazing and superior to any massage therapy or form of therapeutic bodywork I’ve received. From the moment you arrive Helena treats you with so much kindness and absolute warmth. Helena is very professional, kind and genuine.

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.
