I had an amazing experience— the woman at the front desk was kind, warm, and gentle, setting the tone for my session. Karen was my practitioner and her energy was grounding, comforting, and all around lovely!

★★★★★ — Stephanie, May 2026

My initial appointment was wonderful. I was talked through everything in great details. Karen checked up on me throughout the whole process since I was my first time. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Throughout the whole process I felt cared about and welcomed. I cannot wait to go back for my follow up.

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.
