From the reviews
Dr. Chong changed my life. Just a brief background of my medical problems so you know how much she did to help me. I had a c section in August 2025 and when I was released from the hospital I couldn’t breath so I went back to the hospital and was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia and pneumonia…I had to work with…
I found Dr. Chong at the perfect time in my life! Last year I was 39 with a healthy 2 year old and was trying to get pregnant again for 6 months with one miscarriage before that. My OB at the time basically said there was nothing she could do and referred me to an infertility doctor.
I'm 44 years old and trying to conceive my first child. My overall health was declining from years of stress and poor eating/drinking habits. I had severe anemia, poor digestion and heavy/painful periods.
Dr Chong is the real deal. With her eastern medicine approach, she views the patients as a whole- lifestyle, emotional health, nutrition, social support. I’ve been seeing her and prepping my body for 6 months with her for pregnancy. Then on our first try, we conceived!
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.
