From the reviews
Updated review 12/2025 - I wanted to update my review that Lei has now helped me in my fertility journey twice! I am blessed to pregnant with my second child (another girl!) with the acupuncture Lei provided during my most recent embryo transfer.
my first ever treatment for my shoulder pain. 30 minutes later it is completely gone and 2 weeks out, the pain has not returned. very professional atmosphere. i wish insurance covered this. Sessions are $99 each at this point in time. worth every penny not to take medication and be free of the pain.
Lei has helped tremendously with my condition. I had never experienced acupuncture before but it was very relaxing, calming and beneficial. I saw results the same day. Lei is professional, kind and patient. I highly recommend this clinic!
Lei is absolutely amazing! I see her for stress relief and infertility. I always leave her office feeling so much more relaxed! I am a true believer in the befits of acupuncture.
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.
