From the reviews
If you have pain, this guy is the real deal! I've had chronic low back on and off for 25 years. One appointment with Joel using his new laser treatment, and I walked out absolutely pain free!
Joel is the real deal. I’m a business owner. I move fast, carry a lot, and I don’t have time to not be at my best. Joel gets that. He doesn’t just treat symptoms he helps me stay calibrated so I can keep performing at the level my work and my family deserve. I walk in wound up. I walk out level. Every time.
I have been seeing Joel for several years mostly for my arthritis. I went from taking celebrex twice per day to nothing in a short time. I see him monthly for maintenance and not only am not taking any prescriptions but rarely take OTC medication.
Thursday night group Sound Healing first experience was more than expected. Enjoyed a group collective conscioisness awareness to my own meditation practice.
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.
