From the reviews
Thuy is a miracle worker! She is Mother Theresa -- healing the sick with a calm and kind demeanor, counseling those who need it, and sensing exactly what you need with just a look and feel of your pulse. I really enjoy the comfortable zen vibe when you first enter the waiting area.
The very best acupuncture. Been going to Berkeley Community Acupuncture for over 20 years. BCA offers a variety of other wonderful services (massage, cupping, etc) and handmade goods too. Very peaceful and rejuvenating clinic. Easy to access and plenty of parking nearby. You can easily book your appointment online too.
THE BEST ACCUPUNCTURE AND FIRE CUPPING I HAVE HAD IN CALIFORNIA. BY LIANG YU.SHE IS INCREDIBLE. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Such a nice environment. Caring, warm clinicians. Friendly desk staff. Coloring books. Cozy armchairs with footrests, eye masks, blankets... Sliding scale to make acupuncture available to the community on Saturdays. LOVE the concept and execution.
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.
