From the reviews
Dr. Katherine is wonderful! She is experienced and knowledgeable in her field, but she always seeks my feedback about my own health and is attentive in integrating that into her approach. She is personable and truly works as a partner in healing. I love having her as part of my wellness team!
I have been a client of Katherine's for a number of years for my back and knee problems. She is a professional in every sense of the word, and has been so generous in sharing her knowledge and educating me on my health issues. Katherine has kept my pain level under control and keeps me active.
Katie is my jam! She makes me feel amazing! Not only helping me through sports injuries, back pain and migraines, she helps me feel centered, calm and balanced. When life gets a little rough, how ever it may be, a session with Katie always helps. Motherhood and Katie woke great, hand in hand.
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.
