What clients say about the cupping here
“As both an experienced labor and delivery nurse and an incredibly skilled acupuncturist, she brings a rare blend of knowledge, intuition and genuine compassion to every appointment.”
“She does a great job of making you feel comfortable, listens, and provides not only acupuncture, but has also provided me with hand and body massage and cupping.”
“One of the most unique aspects of her treatments is her gentle rocking technique, combined with multiple healing modalities that help the body soften, release, and return to its natural center.”
“I had basically intolerable tennis elbow and in a few treatments it's barely noticeable, and on the way to full recovery.”
“She creates a comfortable and welcoming environment, and I've always appreciated how patient and supportive she is.”
From the reviews
So far I've had two labor acupuncture sessions with Dr. Brianna Darcey and I've been super happy with her treatment. I have not yet gone into labor but there has been some progression in my body since then.
Brianna is the best! From the very first session, I felt completely supported, seen, and genuinely cared for. Brianna has that rare combination of deep clinical knowledge, intuitive skill, and warm, grounding presence that instantly puts you at ease. I did both prenatal acupuncture and a postpartum session.
Briana is incredible! From the moment I walked in, I felt deeply seen, heard, and cared for in a way that’s rare to find. Her presence is so grounding, and the level of attunement she brings to her work made me feel completely safe to relax and receive.
Dr. Brianna Darcey offers something truly rare in care today: complete, unrushed presence. From the moment each session begins, you can feel that you are being tended to by someone whose attention is fully with you, your body, and what it’s communicating.
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.
