✨ Cupping Therapy at Massage by Em ✨

Cupping therapy is a technique used to decompress muscle tissue, increase circulation, and support your body’s natural healing process.

Instead of pressing down into the muscles like traditional massage, cups gently lift the tissue, helping to release tension, reduce stagnation, and improve mobility.

I use both traditional cups for deeper, targeted areas and specialty butter cups that allow for a smooth, gliding technique—perfect for covering larger areas or creating a more relaxing, flowing experience.

You may notice circular marks after your session—these are not bruises. They’re simply a result of increased blood flow to the area and typically fade within a few days.

Cupping can be especially helpful for:
• Tight, overworked muscles
• Chronic tension or pain
• Improving range of motion
• Supporting recovery

Add cupping to your next session for a deeper, more therapeutic release. 🤍

I’ve been working on something behind the scenes… and I cannot wait to share it with you.

These new tools just arrived, and they are unlike anything I’ve used before — smooth, grounding, and designed to completely melt tension from the scalp, neck, and mind.

✨ nervous system reset
✨ that “I didn’t know I needed this” feeling

✨ Service Update ✨
Over time, I’ve added a variety of tools and techniques into sessions to better serve my clients. Moving forward, I’ll be transitioning some of these specialty services into optional add-ons.

This allows each session to be more customized to what your body needs while also ensuring I can continue offering high-quality tools and new experiences.

Your base massage will remain focused, effective, and tailored to you—with the option to enhance your session anytime.

I’m so excited to bring you even more ways to relax, restore, and feel your best 💛

🚨 NEW SERVICE ALERT 🚨

After many client requests… I’m officially introducing

✨ Snake Massage Therapy ✨

Meet Raymond 🐍 — my ball python and newest “co-therapist.”

He specializes in:
• Deep pressure (like… really deep 😅)
• Slow, intentional movement
• Judging you silently while you relax

Clients have asked if I’d ever bring him to work… and honestly, he’s been waiting for his big break.

Spots are limited — Raymond has a strict schedule of napping, exploring, and absolutely not listening to me.

Book now if you’re brave enough 😌

…or just here for the plot twist: April Fools 😉

✨ Not all massage tools are intense… some are pure magic.

This little tool may look simple, but don’t let it fool you…

🌿 Gently stimulates the lymphatic system in the face & neck
🌿 Encourages natural detox + reduces puffiness
🌿 Promotes relaxation you didn’t even know you needed

And my favorite client review so far?

“It feels like tiny fairy hands stroking my face.” 🧚‍♀️

Honestly… I couldn’t have said it better myself.

If you’ve been holding tension in your jaw, face, or scalp—this is your sign to try something different.

✨ Relaxation meets results ✨

✨ Your session. Your needs. My expertise.

✨ Hello, 2026 ✨

As the new year begins, I’ve been reflecting on just how much this past year has meant to me. 2025 was a year of healing—physically, emotionally, and professionally. Recovering from back surgery was not an easy journey, but it reminded me to slow down, listen to my body, and lean into the care of others the same way I encourage my clients to do every day.

I am incredibly grateful for the patience, encouragement, and love from my amazing clients throughout my recovery. Your kind messages, understanding, and continued support meant more to me than I can put into words. You truly made this season of healing feel lighter and more hopeful.

As I step into this new year feeling stronger and renewed, I’m filled with excitement and gratitude for what’s ahead. Thank you for trusting me with your care and for being such a wonderful part of my journey.

Here’s to health, healing, and a beautifully balanced year ahead 🤍

— Emily 👐🏻
