From the reviews

As a birth and postpartum doula and as a perimenopausal woman I know firsthand how important it is to take care of the pelvic floor and how much it can weaken after pregnancy, birth, and in general.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Jan 2026

Dr. Sarah Catherine has helped me tremendously during my pregnancy. The dry needling and cupping she has done for me has relieved the hip/lower back pain I was experiencing.

★★★★★ — Christie, Nov 2025

Ladies PLEASE use this team of women for your benefit! Pelvic floor therapy is very underrated and yes it does help!! I was barely 20 weeks pregnant and in excruciating pain in my pelvis, hips, and lower back.. I couldn't do anything (sit, stand, walk, laydown, nothing) and it was due to Pubic Symphysis Disfunction.

★★★★★ — Shelby, Nov 2025

I was dealing with what felt to me like an urgent pelvic floor issue when I called Empowered Wellness. I was at the lowest of my lows regarding symptoms, and I called the front desk in tears, telling them I had never been seen there but was in desperate need to see a PT.

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.
