From the reviews
Candice is amazing. I have had lower back pain for some time, but it has never been as bad as it was the last week. I reached out to Candice in hopes that she provided home visits as travel was inaccessible to me at the time. She responded quickly and was so friendly. She was able to fit me in the same day.
I have been a client for over 6 years and I can honestly say I have NEVER had a bad experience! Candice is completely proficient at all times. She goes above and beyond to help you have a relaxing and healing experience. If you need extra work in a area, she spends extra time to give you comfort from your pain.
It was easy to setup an appointment with Candice and she recommended cupping therapy to ease some especially problematic areas. I had never had that, so agreed and it made a world of difference loosening up some tight connective tissues.
Best massage I’ve ever had! My favorite thing is that Candace asks you what’s bothering you and goes straight to it before working anything else. She also does cupping for free. I’ve done many massages from different areas and this was definitely my favorite.
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.
