From the reviews

I have been getting massages for 30 years and Pauline was by far the absolute best massage therapist I have ever been to. I searched online for massage and my husband and I booked the couples massage with Pauline and Dee.

★★★★★ — Diane, Jul 2024

I started seeing Pauline for cupping massages a couple years ago to assist with chronic pain after my last pregnancy. She is AMAZING! She really spends time getting to know you and your body’s specific needs.

★★★★★ — H, Jul 2024

Best massage therapist, I love this place! Pauline is amazing! I had the tension/lymphatic massage with cupping, hot oil and hot stones. I went in there feeling miserable due to arthritis inflammation on my hands and arm, also a lot of tension and muscle knots. I felt SO much better after my 90 min massage!

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.
