From the reviews

My husband and I came today for a couples massage with John and London. It was hands down the very best massage I have ever had! London was so detailed and did a top notch job and my husband said John was amazing at helping his muscles feel better. I didn't want it to end I was sooo relaxed!

1st time going to Westside; have been looking for a new massage place since moving back to the city this summer. Physically the set up of the business is really good. Lots of street parking and an Ellis lot close by. Fairly easy to find in the building with good signage and an interactive directory in the lobby.

I spoke with Ursula regarding my interests in receiving a medical massage due to some knee and hip issues. Ursula took the time to listen to my concerns and provide helpful feedback on the best course of action. I received a fantastic medical massage from Lauren and will gladly continue going to her for services!

★★★★★ — Olivia, Feb 2026

I took my girlfriend here on New Years Day for a birthday gift. Not only did Courtney and Eric service us when they were originally closed that day, but they were also extremely friendly and professional.

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.
