Where to start
shoulders and a neck that carry too much
The week, stored between the shoulder blades.
Book a consultationNot everything at Pelin Saray is about the face. Massage and cupping are the slower rooms of the practice: time set aside for shoulders that carry too much and minds that will not sit down.
Old methods, careful hands, and the rare luxury of being properly still for an hour.
what Pelin looks at first
Where the tightness lives, and what tends to set it off.
How you sit, sleep and carry things, including a laptop bag.
Whether cupping suits you, and whether you would like to try it at all.
what this page will not tell you
Cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, which fade; you will be told before, not after. Massage is not a treatment for injury or illness, and persistent pain deserves a medical opinion.
questions
What does cupping feel like?
A pulling sensation rather than pressure, which most people find unexpectedly relaxing. Pelin explains it, shows you, and only continues if you are comfortable.
Can I book massage without cupping?
Of course. Cupping is an option within the session, never a requirement.
