From the reviews
Ive been getting accupunture here for over 5 years now. My appointments are covered by insurance. I hate needles but it helps so I keep coming back. After a car accident that caused a concussion and onset migranes Ive been able to manage the headaches better with accupunture.
After having two back surgeries, I unfortunately deal with a lot of back problems. This was my first time trying acupuncture, and Todd was fantastic. I was extremely impressed by the level of care and attention that Todd showed me as he truly went above an beyond to not only assess my problem but, make sure I had the…
Pekoe is genuinely a complete wellness center. Amy is the best massage therapist I've encountered. She is so intuitive and really listens.

Amy is an amazing massage therapist. Knows the perfect pressure and zeros in on problem spots. 👍
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.
