Passing through NYC amidst some travels, I was looking to get some good quality bodywork/cupping done for some chronic back pain and recent muscle strains. Despite it being my first time in town, I was lucky enough to find Vanessa through some google searching, and I am extremely pleased with the work I got done! Not only was Vanessa friendly, accommodating, and communicative throughout our session, she also had a very calming presence and offered me great relief through the massage and cupping she did on me. Even after just one session, I feel a lot of the pain from my muscle strains dissipating, and for the first time in a long time, I am not in pain! 🙌🏽 I will most certainly be back next time I’m in town, and will be recommending her to any and all friends in the area! Thanks so much Vanessa!🙏🏽
What an incredible experience.
I met Vanessa in Palm Springs during our weekend getaway and we just started talking about Welness, pain management, Lack of sleep and etc. The next thing you know she does Magic.
I couldn’t believe how kind of her it was to pull out her cupping cups and give me a taste of treatments she specializes in. Her knowledge of human body was incredible. She took the time to really address all the concerns and gave me some great feedback on what to do in the future to correct some of habits that do create discomfort in my body.
She made me feel at ease and something I never felt was is - she got me to RELAX which Never happens with any of my treatments. She is incredible. I can’t stop talking about her and how special she truly made that trip for me. Can’t wait to be back in NYC to see her again.
I am not someone who has ever stopped to write a review before so this is my FIRST review on Yelp ever! I’m also not someone who treats myself to many massages… I love them, and can really use them, but I never take the time to treat myself! But my husband gifted me a massage at Pure Spa and I’m so happy he did… This was not just any massage, and Vanessa is not just any masseuse! I have struggled with pain my entire adult life and yet I like very deep work. Vanessa really listened to my concerns which can be a bit of a balancing act and instead of making my pain worse which has happened in massages in the past, she was able to give me that perfect combination of the deep tissue work I needed–working out the tightness around my joints–while still making it feel like a gentle relaxing dreamy massage. I walked out of there in a happy pain-free state. When you look at Vanessa, and see how kind and gentle she is, you cannot believe how strong she is! I’m a total convert, and plan to treat myself to more massages (and maybe even write more reviews on Yelp!)! And Vanessa is the reason why!!!
A friend told me Vanessa was a talented bodyworker, but lost track of her location. In a stroke of luck, I saw a sign for cupping mere minutes from house and it turned out to be her! Vanessa addresses whatever issues you describe as well as those she finds while working on your body. The combo of cupping & massage is well worth it in my opinion. I also had the good fortune to work with Vanessa on a virtual posture clinic at my company where she further demonstrated her knowledge of anatomy and how the body functions. You won't regret seeing Vanessa!
Vanessa is super professional and is amazingly knowledgeable about the muscles of the body. My neck was really messed up, I could barely move it abs with her cupping and massage I felt so much better. She even followed up with me afterwards to make sure I was doing ok.
Thank you so much Vanessa you are very professional .I feel a little pain, but I am really comfortable
Thanks again
I met Vanessa poolside while vacationing in Palm Springs with my friends. After an hour or so of good conversations, she was kind to do three cupping session for my friends and I. (Mind you, it was almost midnight) I have had cupping performed many times during my PT sessions, but this was something else. The heat and the quick movement of cups for positioning purposes felt so good. I had my entire back cupped. Felt great for days thereafter. I wish I had the opportunity to do this every week. Definitely going to visit Vanessa next time I am in NYC.
So happy to have found a place that does cupping as part of the massage treatment! Vanessa is amazing. Even after only one visit she remembers your problems spots and cares enough to follow up with you the next day to make sure everything is settling well. I highly recommend.
I cannot rave about Vanessa enough! I had been getting massage and acupuncture for as long as I can remember. She introduced me to cupping almost 2 years ago and I have been going to her religiously ever since. She always listens to all of my concerns & requests then explains exactly what she is going to do. She is very knowledgeable of the body. As a person in the fitness field, I can honestly say it has completely changed my life! I won’t lie- The cups can be intense! But her touch is magic. Her strong hands melt like butter into my tight muscles. I recommend her highly. Vanessa is the best masseuse ever...and she’s a really cool person too!
Vanessa is THE best massage therapist around. She is knowledgeable and intuitive in her practice. Don’t walk, run to get a massage!
Omg this is the best place to go for a full body massage I have never been so relax while getting a massage the place is clean relaxing smells and look great it’s a place to go and relax and getaway from the everyday stress this is what I did yesterday and Vanessa’s hands are magical I was sleeping before I even knew it when Vanessa was done I was walking on air and she is a beautiful soul and I’m definitely going back and I definitely recommend going to Vanessa best massage therapist ever.
Vanessa is the absolute best when it comes to cupping and massage. She takes her time and fully educates you on what she is doing and how it will help your body. She creates a relaxing environment and provides such relief. I did a 90 minute cupping and massage session and this is the most relief I’ve had in my back and neck in a very long time. Don’t even think twice, book a session with Vanessa. You won’t regret it!
she is wonderful and her technique is very effective. A blissful experience
This is by far the best massage therapy and cupping session I’ve had done in NYC! Vanessa found a lot of my troubled areas. As a hairdresser I appreciate that cupped my arms, it was a first but it helped so much. I definitely will be back regularly. Highly, highly recommend her to everyone!
Vanessa is the absolute best. I have tight IT bands, hamstrings, lowerback and cupping helped release alot of the tension. She's very patient and knowledgeable with the work that she is doing. Highly recommend.
Vanessa was very professional and knowledgeable. She confidently knew exactly what to do regarding my aches & pains. I appreciated the clean and peaceful room atmosphere and that she asked me if the scent of the massage lotion she was planning to use was OK with me (it was). Her massage was one of the BEST I've ever received. Worth every penny! If you're considering booking Vanessa for your next massage, look no further!! DO IT!
Vanessa brings a focus and an expertise to her work that I’ve rarely encountered in a massage therapist. Before the visit, my upper body was tight and my arm's movement was limited. However, after an hour and a half with Vanessa my body felt light and tension free. Immediately I saw the change in my posture. Additionally, she took care of every detail of the session for me to fully enjoy it and relax. I highly recommend Vanessa to everyone.
So.... I visited Vanessa’s studio yesterday. It was a birthday gift and my first cupping experience. Vanessa was warm and gentle. Her hands were magnificent, heavy and firm. All was lovely and as expected until Vanessa began to apply the cups. I could feel my skin stretch and raise up under the heat and glass. The cups engaged the muscles below which then begged to be massaged as she pulled the cups off, each with a suction release note. She then worked meticulously over my back, chest, neck and limbs, teasing out deeper areas of tension with the cups. When it was all over, I felt exhausted, limber and looked like a leopard with spots! This morning I woke up like a new Man. Seriously. I felt more connected and sure in my joints. My muscles felt “pumped” even though I hadn’t worked out yet and my body felt stronger, more coordinated than usual. If you want to treat your body to something special. This is it!
Vanessa has magic hands! Both me and my husband had the opportunity to have a massage with Vanessa. I prefer a lighter Swedish massage and my husband loves deep tissue and she did an amazing job with both of us. She was professional, room was spotless and relaxing and she listens to her clients to ensure she is working on their trouble spots! Highly recommend!!!
My time with Vanessa left me feeling looser, lighter and very relaxed. We did a massage and incorporated cupping (it was my first time cupping and Vanessa communicated everything clearly and I felt at ease). I loved the feeling of my muscles loosening up and my body and energy felt aligned and at peace. Vanessa has the best touch, and she listens to you and what your body communicates during the session. Really recommended !!!
Vanessa's hands are blessed! She is thorough and was able to hit all my problem areas. I have referred all my friends to Cupping NYC. It was an amazing and relaxing experience. The relief I felt when I left was life changing. With all the stressors we have now-a-days this experience was exactly what I needed. If you are reading reviews for Cupping NYC then this is what you need too!
Vanessa is an extraordinary professional with high standards skills , caring and good communication ( she understood my problem right after I told her ) . After my second appointment I felt few changes on my back , neck and shoulder. Also she advice me how to improve my posture . All I can said that I’m so happy and grateful with Vanessa . Great professional!
I can’t say enough good things about my amazing massage and cupping experience with Vanessa! The appointment was easy to schedule and I really appreciated that she sent me the forms ahead of time to fill out so I didn’t have to do that when I arrived! The space was very relaxing and she had great safety protocols in place! She also explained the cupping process really well and is very clearly an expert! The massage itself was incredibly relaxing and Vanessa did a great job working through all of my tight muscles — which was a big job considering it had been over a year since I had a massage!! I felt like a new person afterwards and I can’t wait to go back!
