From the reviews

I cannot recommend my acupuncturist and masseuse highly enough. From the moment you walk in, you feel genuinely cared for. They take the time to listen deeply, understand what is going on in your body, and explain the treatment in a way that makes you feel comfortable and supported.

I’ve had a wonderful experience at this center (over 10 visits)! Scheduling is really easy with a team member who reaches out via text for appointment reminders and scheduling new sessions. I have had no issues with insurance covering my 30-minute massages and acupuncture sessions.

★★★★★ — Steph, Aug 2023

Have been going there for 2 months now &, so far, the massage & acupuncture therapy helped my painful back, shoulder, head, & overall wellbeing. Had a wonderful experience each time, esp with Amy & Lisa, the massage therapists. Their massages techniques very effective. Place is clean.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
