From the reviews
…Be sure to add the cupping add on! She also invests in herself, always continuing her learning with week long seminars to deepen her own massage knowledge. There’s always a new technique or stretch in our sessions. Thank you Monika for your dedication to your services!!
…She is particularly good at dynamic cupping, which has been a game changer to access tender tissues without causing further trauma. Massage is slowly being introduced as my injury allows. I have found cryotherapy to be soothing, particularly when paired with the sweat inducing heat of the red light table.
…I especially liked the red light therapy, but the cupping and cryotherapy also really helped to relieve tension. Would love to come back and try some of the other services.
I started seeing Kerry when I was pregnant with my first baby ten years ago, and she has been a steady source of care ever since. She combines deep knowledge with a calming presence, and she has an incredible ability to understand exactly 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.
