From the reviews
I came to Dr. Marina seeking relief from chronic headaches that I've been dealing with for the past 20 years. I've seen many different Dr.'s and tried many different treatments (western and alternative medicine) over the years, but, the headaches have persisted. I sought out Dr.
Dr Marina really knows what she is doing! They offer such a wide variety of wellness practice here, from cupping to acupuncture to a wide range of different Chinese medicines. Would definitely recommend.
I came here for my appointment for acupuncture and cupping from Dr. Maria. Before my appointment I was having body and back pain. One of my friends referred me here. After the appointment I felt extremely relaxed and had the best sleep I’ve ever had.
Dr. Marina is by far one of the best acupuncturists I've ever met. I didn't ever really understand acupuncture, and the way she was able to explain it to me made so much sense! Her knowledge of the body and its ability to heal itself makes her treatments some of the best I've had.
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.
