From the reviews
I have been receiving treatment from Michelle Young at Alchemy Acupuncture for a couple years now and I look forward to every session. I have received acupuncture from many clinicians in my past and I can confidently say that Michelle is one of, if not, the best and most skilled acupuncturist that I have received…
I'm so thankful for Alchemy Acupuncture and my acupuncturist, Michelle Young. Michelle is kind, patient, compassionate and an excellent listener. She has helped craft and curate a wellness plan that includes acupuncture, cupping, herbs and dietary changes to boost my overall immune health and reduce inflammation.
I have been coming to Judith for acupuncture and cupping to help with my neck and back pain for over a month now. Judith has helped me immensely with my pain but also addressed my anxiety and stress.
Review of Michelle Young, acupuncture. Michelle is absolutely amazing and has greatly helped me with my reproductive health goals. She is very thorough, detailed, and flexible in her approach. Each week we focus on anything new going on in my body and continue progress towards my goals.
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.
