From the reviews

Mike is a magical healer. I know that sounds crazy, but his work with needles, cupping, motor point acupuncture, and body work had transformed my body, and increased my flexibility. Suffering chronic injuries, his dedication to treating the root cause of my pain is unlike anything I've ever experienced.

★★★★★ — Brook, Jun 2017

In a word "AMAZING" Mike is gentle, caring and nurturing through all your wellness needs. I have had acupuncture, cupping and even got a facial from Kelly which was OMG amazing! Best in the business!

★★★★★ — Paragon, Dec 2016

My ovarian cyst pain was unmanageable. I was in the ER regularly with debilitating abdominal pain. The only relief traditional doctors offered was prescription painkillers that did not really help. I had lost all hope of living without pain, and now most days I am totally pain free.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jan 2018

Mike is a wonderful acupuncturist, but more than anything, he is a wonderful person. I would even consider him a friend. He takes time to listen to his patients' concerns, and is genuinely interested in the health of the people he treats. He works with his patients to achieve what they want; not what he wants.

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.
