Reviews for Cupping NYC Massage & Cupping Therapy

Came in to help my shoulder recovery after tearing my labrum. After my first treatment my range of motion, tightness and overall shoulder health feel greatly improved. I really appreciated the time Vanessa’s took to explain the treatment and things I need to do to maintain shoulder health at home.

A nice spa experience. Vanessa is a fabulous massage therapist.

…has all the amenities you would expect from a 5 star Spa. The massage was excellent. Deep pressure on my sore neck muscles like I requested. I also chose to upgrade from the standard oils others have to an organic English Rose Oil. I loved it, the whole room smelled like fresh roses. Vanessa is a healing angel!

I have been a fan of massage therapy for most of my life. The quality of the therapists one encounters varies. Vanessa, at Pure, is easily one of the most talented I have ever come across. She has healing hands and will skillfully work out any stubborn knots you may have. The new facility is top notch and the staff is very helpful. For spa customers there is free access to the steam room and sauna (which has, a great view of Manhattan) at the connecting health club. A great way to further unwind after a world class massage.

If you have had any reservations about having your own experience with Fire Cupping, you should book a session with Vanessa Denola at Sacred Waters in LIC. You are in good hands when you work with her. Her space is tranquil and I found myself calm down before she ever came into the room. I know her first as one of the standout students in my graduating class at the Swedish Institute, 2008. Since then she has studied and practiced Fire Cupping and has become quite effective employing it along with many other therapeutic table massage techniques. The most memorable parts of the treatments are always the times when she has already assembled an array of cups, and then before removing them, she moves me around into different shapes and jostles me a bit. The tension in the fascia that is created by the array seems to open space between the cells in the soft tissue and this space is extended even further by the careful and intuitive movements that she makes. I also like the warming and lengthening effects of a technique where she uses one cup, and FIRE in the other hand to repeatedly reset the cup while she drags it back and forth along fascial planes. This style is used when the client would need help in specific areas where the person would rather not have any purple marks on the skin after the session. Her space is easy to get to from my place in MidTown, so don’t stress the schlep, Sacred Waters is a quick trip on the subways.

So glad I went to Vanessa for my first cupping massage. She’s professional and really knows her stuff. I felt comfortable the whole time and really happy with the results, was just the best massage I’ve ever received and can’t wait to go back.

Vanessa is an excellent and knowledgeable practitioner! The depth and specificity of her work are supported by a soothing environment where I felt at ease and receptive. It was my first time receiving Fire Cupping and massage together and it was exactly the type of input my body needed. I am so happy to connect to Vanessa’s work along with her professional and attentive care - the perfect type of self-care and support!

We felt like newly born! The massage by Vanessa was really wonderful, I really liked her technique. It was a mixture of Thai pressure points, Balinese stroking and Lomi Lomi elbows. We were lucky to find such a great therapist in the middle of buzzing pre xmas NYC, right off times square. Will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

I have been going for massage therapy for about 8 months now. The location is great, subway access across the street and an easy walk from Center Blvd and Queens Plaza also.
Vanessa is really great. She understands what I need in a massage therapist and each morning after the treatment I feel great. As someone who takes a holistic approach to my health I feel that The Cupping Room is a necessary tool in providing my body with relief and stress relief.
I highly recommend them. Try the cupping massage, it truly gets the aches out of my body.

Vanessa is truly the best in the business. I have recommended her to so many people and I am not exaggerating when I say that all of them have said afterwards that it’s the best massage they’ve ever had. In addition to be great at what she does, Whether you have an injury, or just want to relax and pamper yourself, a session with Vanessa will leave you feeling amazing.

Comment: Vanessa was very professional. Seemed like a medical massage. Very targeted towards problem areas and really listened to my concerns. She asked me if I wanted to avoid getting oil in my hair–how cool is that. She washed her hands after touching my feet–awesome. She even made me a mimosa. And I got to sit by a fire with my cocktail–the old location didn’t have THAT.

I get a lot of massages, and this was seriously the best. Thank you.

I saw Vanessa about three weeks ago for her one-hour cupping and massage session. I have chronic lower back issues and had had a summer full of activity, so we concentrated on my back and shoulders. Thanks to the fire cupping, I immediately felt amazing and like I was in an entirely different body, and I felt really open and mobile for the next few days (and the absence of lower back pain was fantastic). The treatment was also an excellent reset opportunity for my body, and seeing her was the smartest self-care decision I've made in a long time. She is amazing!

Vanessa is wonderful. I came in with upper back and neck issues and her technique, cupping and deep tissue massage made all the difference. I plan to continue going back. Very clean establishment and great service. Highly recommend her.

Vanessa seems to instinctively know what you need, and I always leave feeling relieved of tension and my shoulders have dropped a couple of inches. The way she incorporates cupping into the massage too is really clever - I have had cupping before but her technique is quite unique. Highly recommend!!

Vanessa is incredible! Her studio is clean, well-located and modern. I've seen her a few times for back pain and sciatica and she's been able to immediately reduce my discomfort and pain level. Her cupping massages are also enjoyable and relaxing. She's professional, knowledgable and passionate about her work. She always goes above and beyond during our treatments, follows up with tips and after-care. I've recommended my entire family to her (parents and husband) and will continue to do so. If you're looking for treatment designed for your individual needs and concerns, from a person who genuinely cares about your well-being, don't hesitate to visit Vanessa. You won't regret it.

Heavenly experience. I'm doing a good deed by sharing how incredible Vanessa is, because I don't want to share her! She's the real deal. Kind, communicative, communicates well about what you are looking for and what your needs are from the session. Making her a regular part of my care routine for sure.

I had a very relaxing cupping and massage session today. Vanessa released some tension and notes. Love that she has a “toolbox” of stuff she works with to release and relax muscles. Definitely feel so much looser.

Vanessa was amazing! She was very attentive to my needs and helped me to feel so much better. I will absolutely make another appointment with her!

There are not enough words to describe how incredible Vanessa is. As a chronic pain sufferer, ive looked high and low for help treating my neck and body overall. I can honestly say Vanessa's work has helped me tremendously and it's something I'm going to continue doing for myself. Its worth it without a shadow of a doubt.

Vanessa was amazing! I did the 65 min message and cupping session; she was not only professional but made my experience very relaxing. With a clean environment she made sure that I was comfortable and walked me through everything she was doing. Excellence!

My friend gifted my a cupping sesh and massage with Vanessa! It was the best gift ever. I can’t wait to return!
