Massage treatments performed by students of The New School for Massage, under the supervision of an instructor. Student therapists will, at a minimum, be able to provide a Swedish (relaxation) massage; depending on their level of training at the time of the appointment, they may also have the skills to perform condition-specific work but we cannot guarantee that as appointments are randomly assigned to students at the beginning of their shift. If you have requests for a specific therapist, gender, conditions to be addressed, or specific bodywork modality, we recommend a professional therapist.
Available as 55, 75, and 100-minute sessions.

Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups may be set in place for a set period of time, or moved around over a larger area creating a kneading effect. The suction creates a vacuum that draws the tissue upward into the cup. The skin may turn red as the blood vessels respond to the change in pressure. The effect is release of fascia tissue adhesions, stimulation blood flow and circulation to the target area, and engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system to create a deep relaxation to the body. The suction creates a mild bruising or discoloration which will go away within 10 days of the session. Our therapists are certified by ICTA (International Cupping Therapy Association)
