Stop pushing through the pain and start lifting it away. This session combines a deep tissue massage with suction cups that pull on tight muscles to unstick "knots," boost blood flow, and help your body heal faster.
When muscles get tight, they "glue" together. The cups pull these layers apart, instantly making you feel less stiff and more flexible.
The suction draws old, stagnant blood to the surface and brings in fresh oxygen. This helps your body flush out toxins and heal tired muscles.
Even though it's strong, cupping is very soothing. It tells your nervous system to "turn off" the stress, helping you sleep better and feel calmer.
Perfect for "Tech Neck" or lower back pain. You’ll leave feeling lighter, as if a heavy weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
If you’ve had a massage before and felt like the therapist couldn't quite "get" to the spot, cupping is your solution. It’s designed for people who need a deeper, physical reset.
If you spend all day at a desk and your shoulders feel like they are made of concrete, the cups will lift that heavy pressure away.
Whether you play tennis, golf, or hit the gym, cupping helps your muscles recover faster so you can get back to what you love.
Some people just carry stress in their body. Cupping helps "flush" that stress out of your system, leaving you feeling much lighter.
Important: Cupping usually leaves circular marks. These aren't bruises—they are signs that your body is clearing out old blood. They fade in about 3 to 7 days.
Nathalie starts with a traditional deep tissue massage. This warms up your muscles and helps her find the exact "knots" and tight spots that need extra attention.
Next, the cups are applied. You’ll feel a tight "pulling" sensation as the vacuum lifts the tissue. This creates space for blood to flow and breaks up deep tension.
After the cups are removed, Nathalie uses soothing massage strokes to "flush" the area. This helps your body process the toxins and leaves you feeling incredibly light.
Your first session includes a quick Movement Check. Nathalie will talk with you about your goals, check your muscle tension, and explain how the cups will help you feel better.
Plan for 60 or 90 minutes.

See why our clients in Bay Harbor Islands choose the "Lift" of cupping to get rid of stubborn knots and daily stress.
"I have a desk job and my neck always felt 'stuck.' After one session of massage and cupping, I could actually turn my head without pain. It’s a game changer."
"I was worried about the marks, but Nathalie explained everything perfectly. They faded in 5 days and I felt so much lighter. I’ll never go back to just a regular massage."
"Nathalie is amazing. I play a lot of tennis and my lower back usually pays for it. The cupping helps me recover so much faster than anything else I've tried."
You will likely have circular marks on the treated areas. These are NOT bruises. They are just signs that stagnant blood was pulled to the surface. They usually fade in 3 to 7 days.
Cupping flushes out "gunk" from your muscles. To help your body get rid of it, you’ll need to drink plenty of water for the next 24 hours. Think of it as a internal rinse.
The area might feel slightly warm or tender, almost like a mild sunburn, for a few hours. This is normal—it means fresh blood is rushing in to repair the tissue.
The best part: you will feel much "lighter." Many clients say they feel like they’ve lost five pounds of tension or that their joints finally have "room" to move.
NATHALIE’S TIP: Keep the treated areas covered and warm. Avoid cold showers, swimming, or very cold air for 12 hours. Your muscles are "open" and prefer to stay cozy while they recover.
Most spas leave the room while the cups are on you. At Cathartic, Nathalie stays with you, using Dynamic Cupping (moving the cups) to actually massage your muscles from the inside out. It is a constant, hands-on process designed to get you moving again.
We don't just "park" the cups. Nathalie moves them across your back to stretch the tissue and clear out tight spots that hands alone can't reach.
We use professional-grade cups that are deep-cleaned and sanitized to hospital standards after every single use. Your safety is our priority.
Forget the noisy "massage factory." Our Bay Harbor suite is 100% private. It’s just you and Nathalie in a quiet, high-end environment.
Muscle
Relief
Traditional massage works by pressing down on your muscles. But sometimes, your muscles are so tight they need the opposite. That’s the twist: we use medical-grade cups to pull up. By combining the push of Nathalie’s hands with the pull of the cups, we "unstick" layers of tissue that haven't moved in years.
Think of your muscles like a layered cake. When you're stressed, those layers get crushed together. Cupping lifts them up, creating "breathing room" for fresh blood to rush in and heal the area.
We don't just leave the cups sitting there. Nathalie "rolls" the cups across your skin while massaging. This acts like a deep-tissue steamroller, flattening out knots and leaving you feeling incredibly light.
