From the reviews

Tamara is a gifted and compassionate healer that I feel blessed to have found. This is my first experience with acupuncture and I appreciate the way Tamara talks as she works, asking questions and explaining what she is doing while also carrying on a more mundane flow of conversation.

★★★★★ — Effie, Mar 2021

If I could point you to a morsel of magic hidden in plain site…. This is the spot. From the moment the door opened, to the music, the aroma, the temperature , the whole thing, the ambiance was radiating tranquility. Dr. Rettino was incredible gracious, easy to talk to, and was able to ease my mind.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Oct 2025

I had never tried acupuncture before, despite having it recommended to me by many people. In anycase, I decided I needed to give it a go as i'm struggling with fertility and if nothing else, could use a good relaxation session.

★★★★★ — Kaitlyn, Aug 2020

Tamara has been an incredible help to me. I am someone who likes to understand what is going on (especially with my own body!) and Tamara does a great job of explaining everything so I can understand what is happening. I felt a difference after my first session, and I will absolutely sing her praises.

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.
