From the reviews

I was referred to Tamara by a friend for chronic shoulder pain. I had been to traditional medical practitioners with little to no relief. To be honest, I was little skeptical about trying acupuncture. I couldn't be happier with my decision.Tamara is a true professional.

★★★★★ — Don, Oct 2018

When I first went to Tamara I was struggling with back issues. She immediately made me feel comfortable. She went over my medical history and found the root cause for my back distress. I left that day feeling 100% better. Then I was going to have double jaw surgery.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Jun 2017

Tamara Koltun was heaven-sent. She is very knowledgeable about the body systems and their interactions from the viewpoint of Chinese medicine. I was a mess when I showed up for my first appointment with Tamara.

★★★★★ — Sheila, Dec 2017

I am so excited to have found Tamara. I have been to 3 doctors, had 2 x-rays and 1 MRI. The last doctor was a neurosurgeon and requested another MRI. 1st doctor told me rotator cuff tear and gave me cortisone shots 2 times. When that didn't work sent me for a nerve test.

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.
