Stop Glorifying Busy: Why Slowing Down Is a Radical Move for Overachievers
If you’ve ever wondered, “Do you offer cupping?” — the answer is yes.
At One Healing Touch, I offer ACE Massage Cupping™ as an enhancement to your session.
It’s a gentle yet powerful way to relieve tension, improve circulation, and help you feel deeply restored.
What Is ACE Massage Cupping™?
ACE Massage Cupping™ is a modern twist on an ancient therapy.
Instead of using heat to create suction, I use a specialized vacuum pump to gently lift and separate the tissue.
This creates space for blood flow, encourages lymphatic drainage, and eases deep muscle tension — all without the intense pressure that can sometimes come with traditional massage.
How Does It Feel?
Clients often describe it as a light pulling or lifting sensation on the skin, followed by a wave of deep relaxation.
It feels completely different from the pushing motion of a regular massage, yet it works just as deeply (and in some cases, even more effectively).
Benefits of ACE Massage Cupping™
Whether you’re here to address a specific concern or simply want to enhance your wellness routine, cupping can help:
Relieve muscle stiffness and tightness
Support recovery after workouts or injury
Boost circulation and lymphatic flow
Reduce the appearance of cellulite or scar tissue
Promote deep relaxation and stress relief
Will It Leave Marks?
Sometimes, yes — and that’s actually a good sign.
Cupping may leave temporary marks called “cup kisses” where blood has been drawn closer to the surface.
These are not bruises, and they aren’t painful. They typically fade within 3–7 days and are simply a sign of improved circulation in the area.
Is It Safe?
Absolutely — when performed by a trained professional.
I’ll always review your health history first and adjust the pressure, duration, and technique to fit your needs and comfort level.
Who Should Avoid Cupping?
ACE Massage Cupping™ isn’t recommended for everyone.
It may not be suitable if you’re pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, clotting disorders, open wounds, or certain skin conditions in the treatment area.
If you’re unsure, we’ll talk through your options together.
Can It Be Added to My Regular Massage?
Yes! Many of my clients combine ACE Massage Cupping™ with the Signature Massage for even deeper relief.
We can focus on a specific trouble spot or integrate cupping throughout your session.
After Your Session
To get the most out of your cupping session:
Drink plenty of water
Avoid intense workouts or extreme heat for 24 hours
Give yourself permission to rest and let the benefits sink in
How Often Should You Schedule?
For general wellness, once or twice a month is wonderful.
For more targeted concerns like chronic tightness or scar tissue, I may recommend more frequent sessions at first, then space them out as your body responds.
Ready to Try It?
You can add ACE Massage Cupping™ to your next session when booking online through MassageBook or by calling/texting the studio.
It’s a simple way to take your massage experience — and your wellness — to the next level.
