First time trying a cupping massage and my body loved it. Relief is immediate! Suffered from chronic stiffness in neck/shoulder region for more than a decade and tried other therapies to no evail. The 90min reflexology combined cupping massage finally left me relieved and with the feeling that my shoulders were not at the level of my ears. Massage & Healing Arts Center offered freedom to indulge in self-care and give myself whatever I wanted.

The brushing and aromatherapy add-ons were an essential compliment in helping me enjoy my body pain free again. Mark was my therapist and offered the perfect level of deep tissue, professional demeanor throughout massage, and paid very close attention to each area of my body's specific needs. I don't even mind the cupping "bruising" because it serves as a conversation starter in helping me promote one of the best massage therapies I have yet to experience.

They're not even tender! The fact this Center is steps away from a beach access was a beautiful surprise. After my session was able to enjoy swimming in the ocean for half an hour and allow nature to do its job. FREE ALL NATURAL SALT SOAK!

Booked a massage with my mother in law on mother's day. We were both treated amazingly, my therapist even got some fresh Aloe to treat my sunburns before treatment. I felt so relaxed for the rest of the day. I really felt listened to when describing what was needed for my massage. Very pleased overall.

This was a wonderful treat for our friend's birthday! We each have slightly different levels of pressure tolerance and the massage therapists were able to treat us all. Very relaxing and quiet environment. All are very knowledgeable and talented. HIGHLY RECOMMEND treating your self!

Bea was my massage therapist and she did a wonderful job! We talked about any trouble areas and what type of pressure I wanted. She worked areas that needed more attention, provided some guidance to enhance my overall well being and made me feel relaxed.
