From the reviews

Mary is truly one of a kind. My overall experience from start to finish was excellent. I’m traveling from out of town and was in desperate need of a reset. I contacted Mary via her website on a whim Tuesday night and was booked within an hour the following morning. Now on to the actual services....

Mark and I both went to Mary yesterday. I can see why she has all 5 star reviews. She is the best of the best. I went there with severe neck pain, etc and by the time I left, I felt 100 percent better. I had the massage and acupuncture and would highly recommend both.

★★★★★ — Maryann, Sep 2022

Hands down the best acupuncturist in Asheville! Not only do you get acupuncture, but Mary is also gifted in energy healing, massage, Chinese Medicine, cupping and more. She will customize your treatment according to what your body needs that day.

★★★★★ — The, Feb 2020

I was unable to use my left shoulder for the simplest of tasks and had constant pain and numbness in my arm and hand. It was interfering with my sleep and my work, everyday! My husband told me to try a Chiropractor......and I relented. I wasn't able to obtain any relief from the chiro, however they referred me to Mary!

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.
