From the reviews
Penelope is incredibly skilled and very knowledgeable. I had never tried acupuncture before. I wasn't opposed to it, but never sought it out. However, I had pain and numbness in my hands and forearms at night (for years) and I was desperate. I tried everything except surgery and I was not going that route.
Penelope has a beautiful gift. She is an amazing acupuncturist, craniosacral therapy practioner, friend and healer. Her knowledge is astounding in many realms of therapy. Every treatment with her has been a healing experience. Highly recommend her work.
Penelope is taking care of me for over a year. I don’t know what took me so long to write this. Her knowledge and skill is above and beyond and she’s continually learning new skills.
She’s convinced me! I try to be objective or even cynical about eastern medicine, but I was raving about how great it was last time.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Axion Acupuncture and Craniosacral Therapy
Axion Acupuncture and Craniosacral Therapy comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
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.
