HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Alayna is a talented, knowledgeable acupuncturist and herbal medicine/ Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. She is awesome at explaining both the TCM and Western medicine perspective on your symptoms/ treatments so you can really understand how her treatments will help and how they…

★★★★★ — Erica, Sep 2019

Been having back problems for years and after one cupping session the pain was gone for a few days. On my second session now and progress on the tension in my muscles is already showing. I would highly recommend, Alayna has proven she knows what she’s doing and is in this business to help people in need

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.
