What clients say about the cupping here
“The facial massage alone was incredibly relaxing—slow, sculpting movements that released tension I was holding in my jaw and cheeks, and temples.”
“They are incredibly knowledgeable about the central nervous system and finding where exactly the body holds its trauma to pinpoint certain areas that can be released holistically.”

From the reviews
I’ve had my fair share of massage therapists, but I’m on a personal quest in finding the best of the best (it’s just my thing). No shortcuts, no average experience- just excellence. And, I definitely found a true gem in my area! Jo understands that massage isn’t just about relaxation, it’s about healing. Real healing!
I have been seen by them 2x and both were very relaxing and tailored sessions. I experienced glass fire cupping which I admit was a very new and a bit scary idea for me but was thoughtfully applied and tended to. They were very consistent with pressure and their flow.
Had been struggling to find a sports massage or deep tissue offering and a friend pointed me towards Jo. Couldn’t be happier with the care that’s taken during our sessions and it really feels like Jo can find the areas that need to most love!
"Jo, at Touch With Intention, is a unique bodyworker whose energy is unlike any practitioner I've experienced. There is a deep, grounded calm in the sessions that makes it easy to feel safe and supported. My posture and neck mobility have definitely improved, and the ongoing intraoral work has inspired a softer jaw.
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.
