From the reviews

I've been going to Be Well for almost 4 months, seeing mainly Janelle but have seen several others including Katrina and Becca. Picked the place totally at random based on proximity to work, but don't think I could've possibly made a better choice.

★★★★★ — Darryn, Jan 2016

I was in town just for the day and decided to book a session. From initial greeting, it was clear that Priscilla values client comfort and has a passion for understanding and improving overall health.

★★★★★ — Tyler, Apr 2022

Ya know how sometimes you can just tell whether or not you are in good hands? Two minutes into my initial conversation with Jessica, I knew that I came to the right place. The whole experience here was terrific. I recently had my first session with Jessica.

★★★★★ — Pat, Mar 2013

I have dealt with chronic pain most of my life and incredibly tight muscle patterns my body has created to adapt to restricted movement. I have seen Jean-Pierre a couple of times now and every time I leave I feel like I’m walking on clouds.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Dec 2025

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
