What clients say about the cupping here
“When our family was unexpectedly blessed with our miracle baby and we experienced complications during pregnancy, the team at Balanced Thistle walked alongside us every step of the way.”
“Having a team that truly listens and works alongside chiropractors, pelvic floor specialists, physicians, and other practitioners made an enormous difference during a stressful and uncertain season.”
“I received their signature Sculpting Facial (with intra-oral sculpting), and it was incredible — deeply relaxing while also visibly lifting and sculpting my face.”
“As a doctor of chiropractic who also works in functional medicine, and with prior training in acupuncture myself, I tend to be very particular about who I trust with my care.”
“Her energy, along with all of the staff I’ve interacted with at Balanced Thistle, is so warm, kind, and welcoming.”
From the reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give Balanced Thistle more than five stars, I absolutely would. What makes Balanced Thistle so unique is that they don’t just look at one symptom or one diagnosis—they look at the whole person.
I’ve had such a positive experience with Balanced Thistle since 2023 and can’t recommend it enough for any woman looking for support with hormone balance. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, welcoming, and truly centered on your well-being.
I have struggled for 3 years (when I had my son) both mentally and physically and this place has given me so much hope, empowerment, and relief. Every week I feel like I am seen and heard, and I always feel better when I leave.
I’ve had such a wonderful experience here, especially with Brooke! She is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely supportive. From the moment you walk in, you feel at ease and truly cared for.
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.
