CoMBINATION TREATMENT OFFERINGS
+ Acupuncture & Fire Cupping
By combining fire cupping with traditional acupuncture in one treatment, we're able to treat deep tissues by pulling negative tension up the skins surface level, which can then be released with acupuncture through the skin at strategic points on the body. This perfect for relieving pain, sedating the nervous system and promoting stress management.
+ Acupuncture & Massage
* 1 service credit - medical
Massages leaves the body relaxed and more receptive, which makes the acupuncture more powerful. In turn the more blockages the acupuncture dissolves, the more the body relaxes.

Moxibustion is a TCM technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small spongy Herb that enhances circulation and brings warmth back into the body through specific acupuncture points.
+ ACUPUNCTURE & SOUND THERAPY

Sound therapy combines direct vibrations and tones through the act-points and the body's meridian system to open the energetic pathways. These vibrational waves enhances the acupuncture treatment by relieving anxiety and stress to induce a deep meditative state by heightening clarity and higher states of consciousness.

This treatment is the best of both worlds-it includes acupuncture and a relaxing prenatal massage. Receiving acupuncture during pregnancy can promote the healthy development of your baby by increasing blood flow to your uterus as well as providing a relaxing time for you both.

Love this place! Cecilia and the entire Saffron & Sage team are absolutely amazing. Super professional staff and the facilities are extremely clean and sanitized. I go in for fire cupping and massage with Cecilia every two weeks and always come out feeling amazing. She listens to my feedback and focuses on any injuries I point out. I've been trying different massage/ cupping therapists for years and Cecilia is by far the best in SD.

I got to Saffron & Sage in a time of weakness in my life and instead of finding the massage I was looking for, I found a community, a center and a path to do the inner work I had been putting off for so long. The staff and owner are generous and are seekers just the same as I am. The center is beautiful, spoily, and filled with treats. I am lucky to have found just the place I needed at the right time and have benefited from new healing modalities I had never experienced before. S&S is now my own, special spiritual retreat.
- Ela
Whatever type of healing you need, they can most definitely provide. The vibe is SO good when you walk in and the staff is always very friendly. I went here a couple times for a massage, but ended up joining as a member for the savings and commitment to bettering myself. Not to mention they have many offerings and the massages I have gotten have been some of the best I’ve had. Since then I’ve expanded into trying things like Acupuncture and Reiki. I look forward to discovering their many other services as well. This place is a gem to say the least.

I immediately fell in love with this place from the moment I stepped into their boutique. There's a beautiful energy in the space. I had a great consultation with Kimberly, it was so refreshing to connect with someone and tell your story (and hear theirs!) without it feeling so clinical. She recommended Dr. Hilda and I've been getting acupuncture and massage with her for a few months now. She is fantastic! So caring and intuitive. And her knowledge seems to never end, she's helping me with nutrition and fertility next. I just attended my first moon circle and was so impressed with this center once again. Everyone I've met here just has a fantastic energy and really wants to help others. One final note - I LOVE the business model. I became a member which includes a certain amount of services and discounts on classes or products for a full year, and no tipping. It's just so refreshing to be able to not think about money every time I get a blissful treatment.
- Melissa
I can not say enough good things about this place! I felt so welcome by the beautiful lady at the front desk who met me with a smile and any info I needed. All covid friendly protocol took place such as a temp check and waiver stating you have no symptoms. My provider Hilda was AMAZING! HANDS DOWN best massage experience I have ever had, and I frequent spas! She was a master in craft and didn't miss a beat. Every single need was met and I left feeling relaxed and renewed. I will definitely be back and HIGHLY recommend Hilda!
- Amanda
These guys are amazing. Simply the best massage I've ever had. Can't wait to make this a part of my regular routine!

Cecilia at Saffron & Sage is amazing! Seriously , the best massage I have ever had. I get a 2 hour deep tissue massage, and she stays strong through out the whole massage and is able to work out my pain points.
- Stepheni
LOVE LOVE Saffron & Sage. Immediately a sense of calmness comes over you upon entering this facility. I always feel mentally & physically better after my massage with practitioner Cecilia. She does an amazing job of personalizing each experience to what you need each visit. Do yourself a favor & book a service here ASAP
- Becky
I had a massage from Armida. I have been getting massages for 30 years and she is by far the most gifted masseuse I've ever had. If you want to experience something really special I highly recommend this business and Armida specifically.
- Tim
Cecelia fixed my awful neck and shoulder pain after just 2 sessions. I wouldn't normally spend so much on a massage but the custom option of having 3 techniques really brings the value on point! I I can't wait for my next session. Finally I can start to take care of my body! I love the vibe of S&S and everyone is super friendly- I have left feeling so relaxed !!
- Leeanne
Today, I got a magical massage from Ashley. I felt my tension melt away. She used essential oils and sound healing too. I felt cared for and high after my session. I highly recommend her! I enjoy going to saffron and sage. The front desk is always friendly. It's clean, chic and homey all at the same time. I can't wait for my next massage! (:
- Lisa
I was so excited when I heard that Safron & Sage was open! They're facility practices made me feel very safe and confident. It was an INCREDIBLE experience. I went in for a Swedish massage and ended up being treated to a massage, essential oils, acupuncture and sound bath--and I did not pay more! They approach every treatment with an individualized approach. I knew to expect a great experience but I left there floating on a cloud for the the rest of the day! Don't go to a spa. Go here. You will not regret it.
- Sam
I love Saffron & Sage. I became a member in January and due to COVID-19, I didn't realize how much I missed my monthly treatments. After 3 months of working from home, it was so nice to be able to go in for a much-needed deep tissue massage. I didn't realize how locked up I was. The staff is so friendly and they truly care about your well-being.
- Tanya
This was my second time getting a service at Saffron & Sage. I've gotten massages here and there and have never been able to fully relax and leave my mind. Vanessa was ABSOLUTELY incredible. I finally dozed off for the first time ever! She suggested to she do some fire cupping on my back due to my scoliosis and that was an experience in itself! This whole place is zen on earth. If you're looking to treat yourself or to make your mental and physical health a priority, this is 100% the place to do it! I wish I had signed up years ago. Do yourself a favor and check this amazing place out. You'll be forever grateful.
- Bahar
After being isolated for 3 months during Covid, I was excited to see that saffron and sage started offering services again. I have been a member and enjoy the yoga and sound therapy classes, PNF stretching and of course massages and acupuncture. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming. My massage was an aromatherapy massage with Vanessa- it was so relaxing and melted all my stress Away- it felt like a mini vacation. There is so many other services provided that I am excited to explore soon.
- Anja
I love Saffron & Sage. It is a healing community made up of genuine, skillful practitioners. The people who work here are truly called to their work. I received a massage from Rhea yesterday and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She is an intuitive masseuse--she's operating out of the third eye and crown chakras when she works. I was able to book an appointment with her last minute, on a day that I needed some significant self care and self compassion. I left feeling very cared for, like she worked on all the right spots and gave me the gift of her loving presence. Thanks Rhea!
- Christina
Came back in for a Deep Tissue massage with Rhea and I had an amazing experience. I definitely drifted off in between a sleep and conscious state during the treatment, but felt it was what my body really needed. She was able to identify many tight and concentrated areas of tension and allowed my body to unwind and release a lot of deep set tension and discomfort. Thank you for the beautiful oasis and healing treatments, I will definitely be back!!
- Katie
Well worth the money to get treatments @Saffron & Sage. Tiffany has amazing hands. My neck and back are on their way to full recovery.
- Taffy
I created a yelp profile to leave a review about Saffron & Sage because I felt the need to share what a great experience I had there. This place is full of smart beautiful girls who love and care about what they do. My massage therapist Cheri, was professional, informed, and apart from being the best massage I have ever experienced, she took a holistic approach to helping me. These people are true professionals. Highly recommend Saffron & Sage for all types of wellness and healing.
- Jacob
I have bounced around massage therapists and centers for years. Never finding one that 100% fit. That changed when I found Saffron & Sage. I love the space, the people and most importantly the body work. Rachel and Tiffany are amazing healers. The membership makes scheduling and payments easy. I love not having to worry about dealing with money after I've relaxed in a session. Its rapidly becoming my weekly me time.
- Stepheni

Probably the best massage I’ve ever had. All the amazing aromas and the setting is just so incredible. She (Cecilia) has the ability to do deep tissue while also putting you to sleep.
