From the reviews

I have had countless massages, but Colin Banks is hands down the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. He took the time to really listen to my concerns & reassured me that he would take great care of me. The massage wasn’t just a physical relief, but because of Colin it was also a mental relief.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Oct 2025

That was the best massage experience I’ve ever had in my whole entire life! After she left for me to get ready to go, I just laid there and I literally started to cry in a good way. I just released a lot of emotion that has been building up the last several months in my life! Darian was amazing ! Ali was so great !

★★★★★ — James, Dec 2025

This was my second massage with Mara. I usually go to the Hawthorne location but after my first massage with Mara at Pearl, I am now a committed client! The Pearl location (like Hawthorne) is quiet, clean and simple - and very reasonably priced (especially with a monthly membership). Parking is easy, too.

★★★★★ — Liane, Jan 2026

I have had an incredible few experiences with Aly at Now Massage. Each time, from the moment I walk in, her energy is calming, grounded, and genuinely warm. She has that rare combination of intuitive touch and technical skill that makes you feel both deeply relaxed and physically renewed.

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.
