From the reviews
I can't recommend Naomi enough as an acupuncturist! She has been an incredible support throughout my fertility journey, pregnancy, and even in inducing labor. Her extensive knowledge and expertise were evident from our first session.
I reached out to Lauren at Balance Acupuncture to see if she could do a group acupuncture session for me and my bridesmaids the morning of my wedding and I had the absolute best experience! Lauren went above and beyond to create a custom group package for me and my bridesmaids!
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!
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.
