From the reviews

I have been seeing Mary Wood weekly since April 2022, and I'm hooked! I look forward to my appointment each week and always walk out feeling fantastic. I've been struggling with chronic back pain for as long as I can remember.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Jun 2022

When I came in to see Mary, I was desperate as I was going through multiple issues including heart palpitations, loss of feeling in my left hand, insomnia and an anxiety. Mary put together a comprehensive plan of Accupuncture, eastern herbs, cupping and massage to treat each of my issues.

★★★★★ — Aaron, Jun 2022

Mary (Dr. Wood) is amazing! I wandered into her clinic on accident as it was gorgeous from the outside and I was looking for an acupuncturist after moving. It was fate. I knew upon meeting her it was a great place and she was the right fit.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jan 2024

Copal provides excellent alternative medicine right in downtown Burien. The space is beautifully designed, always inviting + clean & comfortable, while Mary is the highlight of it all. I have been coming here for the past year and only wish I had found her sooner.

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.
