From the reviews
I found Dr. Stretton early last year and she has been amazing. Through acupuncture, cupping, and TCM herbs and supplements, she has helped me manage and resolve a variety of ongoing issues. I feel so much better.
…(But you can definitely feel the qi moving) She does amazing work with cupping and can customize the treatment so that you have no bruising. While my experience with Dr.Stretton has been mostly baby related I now see her bi-weekly for routine care.
I look forward to my appointment every week! Dr. Stretton is very knowledgeable and really takes the time to listen to you. I have seen such an improvement in my sleep, stress levels, and overall health.
I have been seeing Dr. Vanessa Stretton for 10+ years now. She has helped me through many difficulties including, stress, preparing for ivf, perimenopause, headaches, fertility and much more. Her support and expertise has and currently is invaluable to all aspects of my health and wellness.
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.
