From the reviews

Maria is truly wonderful. I don’t have any major health issues, but perhaps because of a slight misalignment in my posture, I had always felt a heaviness and tightness on the left side of my body and face.

★★★★★ — Yumi, Sep 2025

I have had several therapeutic massages with Yaara at the Glen Park location. Each massage better than the last. She asks a few pertinent questions at the beginning just so she knows exactly what you need/are looking for. She really listens. I went in one week with tension in one shoulder and let her know that.

★★★★★ — Kendall, Mar 2023

Rina is the best! After being recommended by another acupuncturist to have weekly treatments for my severe insomnia, I initially visited two other acupuncturists at different clinics.

★★★★★ — My, Dec 2024

Chronic pain and illness is difficult to bear alone. Here I don’t have to. When I arrive to my appointments I am met with a refreshing environment that brings me great peace. Rina is an excellent practitioner who listens to, tends and treats people with great dignity and caring.

★★★★★ — D.D., Jul 2024

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.
