From the reviews

Betsy is amazing. She has a gentle approach and her work is very effective. She has helped me immensely with chronic pain, perimenopausal symptoms, depression and also with her expert facial cupping techniques. I have been to many acupuncturists and she is by far the best!

★★★★★ — Solara, Jul 2020

I highly recommend Betsy Gordon for eczema treatment. I had seasonal eczema, and my skin has always been very reactive and sensitive. The only solution provided by dermatologists was stronger and stronger topical steroids. This year the hand eczema became chronic and my fingers were red, scaly and painful.

★★★★★ — Carmen, Aug 2025

My acupuncture experience with Betsy has been wonderful. My first appointment Betsy had all of my information ready, she let me know what my insurance covered, how much my copays were and what anything else would cost. It was so nice knowing everything up front.

★★★★★ — Maddy, Apr 2024

Betsy is wonderful. Her presence is calming and professional. She is a client-focused, gentle and wise practitioner. I am a holistic esthetician and have recommended many clients to Betsy for expert dermatology care and cosmetic acupuncture—they all love her.

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.
