What clients say about the cupping here
“After one session, my mobility improved - and by a few days later, I was almost pain free!”
“She accesses where I am at that moment in time, and deals with any problems from a cold to a sore neck to the grief I experienced at the loss of my father.”
“Carmela always takes the time to really listen to what I’m saying, she really wants to understand what I’m experiencing and how the illness is impacting my life.”
“The atmosphere feels lovely, comfortable, and calming.”
“She regularly informs me of new skills and knowledge she has acquired by attending conferences and trainings.”
From the reviews
I have been seeing Carmela for at least five years. That was when she helped me reclaim my health and my life! I was on a fast track to disability (my doctor said he never say anyone go downhill so quickly) - the fatigue and pain was endless.
I had to give up hiking, dancing and pickleball because of my knee pain for the last couple of years so I finally had both knees replaced this year. After the surgeries I felt such a diminishment in my energy and continued to have so much swelling and pain in both knees.
I went to see Carmela based on a friend’s recommendation. I had a litany of issues related to systemic inflammation. Carmela was very patient and kind. I appreciated that she treated me based on a holistic view of my medical history.
Carmela has changed my teenage son’s life! Diagnosed with alpha gal 4 years ago, he has been unable to eat any mammalian meat. We heard of SAAT a few years ago but never took the leap because his numbers have been off the charts. This year my son decided he had just had enough and wanted to try.
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.
