What clients say about the cupping here
“The science behind the device is compelling and Brenna can teach you all about the different settings for hair growth, anti-aging, acne treatment, pain management, and healing.”
“Whether it's the relaxation and peace of a quiet massage or a thorough, in-depth explanation of the techniques she uses, Brenna has a good sense of what her clients' need in the moment.”
“What impressed me most was her ability to not only alleviate my pain but also educate me on how to prevent it from coming back.”
“It was my first-time cupping and Brenna was fantastic at keeping an open-line of communication and also knowledge sharing while still ensuring an overall relaxing experience.”
“Her experience as an athlete and passion for kinesiology meant she could really fine tune the massage and left me feeling so much better afterward.”
From the reviews
UPDATED REVIEW AFTER 10 MONTHS: I’ve been a client of Brenna’s for 10 months now and participate in her monthly membership program. Overall my body feels significantly better and we adjust each treatment based on what my body is feeling.
Luxury HomeBody with Brenna is the premier massage/body work experience in Charlottesville. My massages have been at home - do not underestimate the value of not getting behind the wheel of a car before or after a massage or prepaying with Brenna - everything is so well thought out, and I cannot image a better…
If you needed a sign to book with Brenna Rice let this be it 💫 I booked a session as a gift to myself and it was nothing short of transformative. This was far more than a simple massage—it was a deeply healing experience.
Brenna is a fantastic addition to the Charlottesville community! Having had massages regularly for the past 25 years, I can honestly say that Brenna is at the top of my list.
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.
