From the reviews
…She does acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha. She also has herbal supplements (Chinese medicinals I think?) if people want them, but never insists on them and doesn’t even bring them up until you do. I highly recommend her and Freedom Acupuncture. Thanks, Francesca!
…With cupping and acupuncture, I was in much better shape the next day and the following week. AND they take insurance! The office is decorated beautifully and the sense of calm is palpable. I'm really looking forward to my next appointment.
Caroline treated me with the stem electrical acupuncture, and the cupping on my lower back. I’m back on the bicycle riding hard highly recommend if you have a nagging back like me.

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.
