From the reviews
Emma has a space that is cozy, quiet and peaceful. I felt so comfortable and welcomed. I relaxed so much that I fell asleep briefly. She is an hour drive away from me but I definitely need to return.
Emma does incredible work. She skillfully identifies and treats problem muscles (almost like magic!). Calming, comforting environment. Highly recommend!
If the Review form gave the option for awarding 10 stars, that’s what I’d assign to Emma. In just two sessions one week apart, she has brought immense relief to what had been a longstanding and seemingly intractable condition…pain, stiffness, and compromised range of motion in and around my neck and left shoulder.
Emma is amazing! She knows just what to do to provide the best healing. She listens, and is intuitive and sensitive to what your body needs.
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.
