Reviews for Cupping NYC Massage & Cupping Therapy

I purchased a package from Vanessa. I'm addicted. I need my monthly massage. Due to a surgery, I get tight and need relief. Vanessa is the angel that provides it. She is very caring, asking every time if there is something specific she should focus on. Obviously, I missed several months due to covid. However, on my return, as someone who is high risk, I felt safe that the necessary precautions were being taken to keep everyone safe. I even extended my time to 2 hrs, which went by so quickly. I look forward to my monthly appointments and highly recommend Vanessa. You won't be disappointed!

The new location is cozy, clean and nice. I am sure you will be comfortable. I have trouble with pain in my left knee. It always goes away after Vanessa does her work with the cupping and massage. Every time. The most recent satisfaction was realized when she did the "Elvis Belt" for my low back. This arrangement cleaned up the stiffness I had there quite nicely. I always enjoy the kindness and upbeat attitude that she brings to her work and the way she pays attention to what I need.

I absolutely love it here. I felt so comfortable. Everything was explained to me and I was given very helpful health and stretching tips. The place is remarkably clean. It was my first time cupping and I surely will be coming back. I’ll highly recommend this place Thank you!Vanessa

This was the best massage of my life. Vanessa really knows what she is doing. As a professional aerialist, I get a lot of massages I had never done cupping before and I loved it! She did amazing work on all my wear and tear. She is so kind and calming as well, I was very relaxed. I am definitely going back to her!

Vanessa is THE BEST!! I never felt that good after a massage/cupping session...I look forward for the next one!!

Love Vanessa Shes a great therapist! Very thorough! She is also easy to talk to, if you need more or less pressure shes great at adjusting.

“Now for the best part…. the massage. AHHHHHHHHHHH! I have gotten massages globally and this was definitely in the top 10. Vanessa, my masseuse, was knowledgeable about my injury (i have a sore shoulder) and I walked out of there not only relaxed, but had more movement in my shoulder. A day later i am still feeling the positive effects of her work. (THANK YOU Vanessa!).”

I received a 60 minute cupping & massage. Hands down best massage I've ever had! Vanessa has magic hands and really targets the problem areas. I loved the use of the essential oils and the music.

Vanessa is a very experienced and knowledgeable therapist and I highly recommend her. She has that kind of warm personality that makes you feel welcomed eight away.

Simply amazing! Had shoulder pain for years (right shoulder) and after she worked on me with the cupping, it went away. I was amazed. Mind you, it took a few times for the effects to be permanent. I think it was 3 at most. By the third time, it had gone away permanently. Now I go for maintenance once a month. I was skeptical at first, but now it's part of my regimen: yoga and massage by Vanessa--it's a recipe for my healthy lifestyle

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.

I can confidently and enthusiastically recommend working with Vanessa! As a massage therapist myself, Vanessa demonstrates her understanding of the anatomy and developed intuition, as well as a communicative and caring space holder. The best cupping experience i’ve ever had, as she integrates massage and cupping therapy into a seamless and beautiful dance. Thank you Vanessa 🙏🏻

Vanessa has been helping me for over two years now. I’ve been to more practitioners of acupuncture, cupping , A.R.T. & massage than i can count. I can’t recommend her more highly. The seamless simultaneous flow of massage, cupping & Himalayan rock salt feels amazing. After 2 shoulder replacements i swim & do drills underwater. Mentioning a persistent tightness in & around my left glutes Vanessa explained a corresponding muscle running through my pelvis & attaching to the spine was the reason. After cupping that area it went from piano wire tight to being as relaxed an open as my right side. Make an apt - you absolutely won’t regret it. Sacred Waters is a welcoming , friendly place.

I first came to Vanessa after I had a baby. Frazzled and tense she completely reset my body, and I left feeling calm and capable. I’ve since been back and am now a regular. She is so smart, caring, and attuned to her client’s needs. She always asks about the pressure of her massage, what type of product you want used, the temperature of the bed — every detail is tended to so you can be comfortable and fully relax. And as a Queens resident I’m so grateful she’s close to me — though I’d travel longer just to see her. You won’t be disappointed.

I had a phenomenal time with my massage and cupping by Vanessa. It was the first time I’ve ever experienced both integrated. The boulders in my shoulders were finally loosened into tissue and I even had work on my belly which I loved. My body felt light after the treatment and I’ve been moving without feeling the tension I had felt for so long. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to reset their body and feel loose and limber. Vanessa is a truly knowledgeable and gifted healer.

A great experience in a lovely locale! Vanessa is experienced, thoughtful, and enthusiastic about her work. She is ready to answer any questions or concerns you might have about cupping if it’s your first time, and delivers a fantastic and thorough massage. The cupping definitely enhanced my experience with the deep tissue massage, and my body responded quickly to the work. I felt so much looser and more relaxed after seeing her, and can’t wait to book again. The space is so pretty and serene too. Definitely check her out!

Vanessa is amazing! She is talented, professional and insightful. Her body treatments are incredible as they happen, and they leave me rejuvenated for weeks and weeks to come. I can't recommend her enough!

Absolutely amazing experience each and every time. Vanessa was my massage therapist- and she is an amazing massage therapist- long before I ever tried cupping. I was hesitant for a long time but once I tried I was an instant convert. The relief is immediate and lasts for many days after. Can’t recommend Vanessa enough!

Today was my first cupping massage and my first massage with Vanessa. Both deserve five stars. Vanessa has great communication and amazing technique. I am super picky about massages and was completely satisfied with the pressure, the ambiance, the music and the overall experience. I feel relaxed and am sliding into the weekend a happy girl. Highly recommend!

Vanessa is an excellent communicator with an extremely laid back style that puts you right at ease. The massage + cupping is both relaxing and restorative. I couldn't recommend Vanessa enough.

Comment: Vanessa is well, in my opinion the best. I have been a customer of hers for years and she was finally able to get me to try the cupping massage. I have to say that it has changed the game for me. I carry all of my stress in my upper back (mostly shoulders) and I always feel so much better after a session with Vanessa. She is simply the best – I highly recommend her at the risk of folks running in to see her and shutting me out of an appointment. Love you Vanessa!
