From the reviews
Dr. Morino is amazing. I’ve gone to her twice already and looking forward to doing more treatments with her. So far I’ve only done the cupping sessions with her and I absolutely feel the difference in my neck Shoulders and Lower back. She is super friendly easy to talk to. I feel like I’ve known for years.
Dr. Marino is truly amazing! She’s so caring and really wants to help you. From cupping, to acupuncture, to functional medicine. Dr. Marino can do it all! Highly recommend her
My anxiety was eating me alive. Bought the Gold plan. The Bio-Mat and cupping made everything feel manageable again.
A Fantastic Experience with Dr. Christina Marino I wanted to take a moment to share my incredible experience with Dr. Christina Marino, as I believe her approach to health and wellness is truly exceptional. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Dr. Marino is a complete gem in the field of healthcare.
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.
