From the reviews
I was advised to see Lauren regarding an acute back pain issue that had limited my ability to function with daily activities over a 4 day period. She was most empathetic with my situation and immediately created an available visit in her busy schedule for me.
My first visit: Dr. Tinsley is warm, welcoming and super understanding. Her knowledge immediately knew to target a specific area and the relief was almost instantaneous. We ended the session with a set of my first ear seeds. The rooms are clean and organized and comforting. If you’re on the fence, give it a go!
My favorite place ever. I have been going to see lauren for 2 years now! She was with me during and after my first pregnancy and now she is with me during my second. She truly listens to your concerns and can help so much. She completely healed my heartburn I had for years!!
Dr. Naomi is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I felt very comfortable speaking with her today and felt like I was being heard. I am excited to continue on this fertility journey with her as our doctor.
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.
