I've been coming to see Fern at Acupuncture First for regular acupuncture appointments now for a few years and I can't say enough good things about it. The space is comfortable and everyone I've interacted with there has always been very kind and welcoming.

★★★★★ — Sydney, Jun 2025

I was referred to Karen for some symptoms I am having for a dysregulated nervous system. She has been the first person in 4 months to have been able to offer me relief. I am grateful for her kindness, patience and overall expertise.

★★★★★ — Hallie, Sep 2025

During my session with Jessica, she was attentive and asked a number of questions to determine the reason for my massage. The next day, I was sore, however, all of my overworked muscles felt so much better aftervl my therapy session. She is remarkable and I heartily recommend her services.

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.
