From the reviews

Absolutely honored to be a client. The good Doctor is beyond passionate about her craft and wow, she’s the best I’ve ever seen. I was in absolute paralyzing agony and she has me not only out of pain but excited about tackling any obstacle in my path.

★★★★★ — Michael, Mar 2022

Dr Kate is simply amazing. She has been so helpful in getting me feeling better in just a few short weeks. I have gone from feeling defeated with a year long battle full of health issues….. to finally feeling much better and having more hope every day.

★★★★★ — Kellie, Jan 2022

Dr Kate is the best. I don’t fully understand how accupuncture works but I don’t care cause it definitely works. When I went to her I was tired of being in constant pain and unable to sleep well. Within a month of treatment the pain in my leg was gone and has not Come back 1.5 years later.

★★★★★ — The, Oct 2022

In August of 2022, I injured my foot from an overuse injury. For over a year, I struggled and hobbled along with the pain. I was unable to walk without 7/10 pain at all times. In August of 2023, I saw an orthopedist that told me I required surgery for a partial Achilles tear.

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.
