★★★★★ — Kb, Feb 2018

Dr. Katie (along with my PT) was a crucial part of my long recovery from frozen shoulder. Her care was kind, attentive, intuitive, and helped me see progress during many painful months away from the activities I love.

★★★★★ — Karla, Aug 2019

Dr. Katie is so helpful, caring, kind and supportive. I've been seeing Dr. Katie for a couple years now and she has helped me so much I can't thank her enough. She's helped me SO much with pain and regulating my nervous system.

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.
