Comment: I've had a couple amazing massages from Vanessa at CuppingNYC - both of them leaving me with such a feeling of relief and release through my muscles. I am a yoga and fitness trainer so my body is always jacked up and the cupping experience has helped open up the tightness between my joints, and allowed her massage to go deeper into the muscles. I highly recommend Vanessa - her cupping and massage techniques are extremely sensitive; she makes you feel completely comfortable, safe and you will walk out of the room on a cloud!
Comment: Vanessa is incredible! I was nervous about cupping because I thought it was going to be painful. She ensured me it would not be painful - just some tightness from the suction of the cups. Well, she was right! I enjoyed my cupping therapy massage so much. Vanessa made me feel very comfortable - checking in with me throughout the entire session. She took her time on my problem areas and after the session, the tightness in my muscles was gone! I felt relaxed the rest of the day and had a great nights sleep. I highly recommend CuppingNYC. Thank you again Vanessa!
Comment: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality What a great experience, from beginning to end. It was easy to make an appointment with Vanessa. The location is super convenient, especially if you live in or near Long Island City. And the massage plus cupping was incredible! It was exactly what I needed to get my body moving. I feel more alive today than I have for months. I highly recommend Vanessa!

Comment: Outstanding service
Comment: It was by chance and luck that Vanessa had a slot for a 90 minute session. I am not new to cupping and massage therapy due to a chronic injury. Being new to the area I was looking for therapist that knows their modalities and techniques effectively. Prior to the session, I stated what I wanted to accomplish and concerns. She was very patient and accommodating in explaining her approach. Through the course of the session, I felt my body responding positively to her hands and techniques. I would definitely go back again for continuum of care and managing my injury. Thank you again Vanessa for a wonderful session. ❤️
Vanessa was great. First time doing cupping and she explained everything to me thoroughly and I felt incredible relief during and after the experience.
I really liked this place. It is just one room but it is quiet and relaxing. The massage was great. They also have online booking.
I spent a lot of time researching a reputable massage therapist for my wife. Several less expensive options were available in the area, but I had discovered from previous experiences that you indeed get what you pay for. After my wife was not able to make her first appointment, I instead went in her place. I am not an expert in massages but I really enjoyed my hour with Vanessa and discovered that my shoulders are tight. She even showed me how cupping is done, which I knew nothing about. She showed me how to address my tight shoulders issue on my own. I’ve already recommended Vanessa to a couple people and am looking forward to future sessions.
I was in a bad car accident suffered severe injures to my legs. The girls helped me get back on my feet, best hands in Queens.
Vanessa is fantastic for massage, cupping and bodywork in general. She is also a fantastic person. Can't wait to go back.
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.
