★★★★★ — Andrew, Feb 2026

I first began to know Mary Papa in 2021. I was in a difficult era of my life. But I was regimented in my fitness structure and adhering to consistent physical discipline all year long. Mary was introduced to me by a spiritual brother in common.

★★★★★ — Chris, Nov 2025

Mary has helped me so much with neck and shoulder pain! This has made a huge difference in my every day activities. I have tried chiropractors and even shots with short term relief. Mary took the time to figure out what would help my pain and I am amazed at how I feel. I can only say if you are in pain please see Mary.

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.
