What clients say about the cupping here
“She was inquisitive and thorough, extremely knowledgeable and let me know why she was performing the different treatments and their placement, in order to help me understand what she was doing.”
“She listened to my myriad of complaints and not only gave me a treatment that made me feel the best I'd felt in months but also made me feel calm and rid of all the building anxiety.”
“She listened to my myriad of complaints and not only gave me a treatment that made me feel the best I'd felt in months but also made me feel calm and rid of all the building anxiety.”
“Not to mention the beautiful, spotlessly clean space is crowned with some of the coolest pencil drawings I have ever seen— drawn by Abby’s father!”
“It was the first time that I had received acupuncture or cupping and didn't know what to expect.”
From the reviews
…I personally recommend: fire-cupping, moxa (especially if you're not a needle fan), and Tibetan foot soaks.
…It was the first time that I had received acupuncture or cupping and didn't know what to expect. I have had back, shoulder and knee problems for quite some time and pain relievers were not aiding. She was a great listener and receptive to my troubles.
…She's treated me with acupuncture, cupping, Gua Sha, infrared light, and customized herbal remedies. In addition to being effective, she is also incredibly compassionate - exactly what you would want (and expect) in a healer.
Abby takes patient comfort and care very seriously. She takes the time to listen to you and determine your best course of treatment. She has helped me with a wide range of issues using acupuncture, herbs, massage, cupping, and more - I love all the tools in her toolbox.
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.
