From the reviews

Dr Kalombo at Gentle Healer Acupuncture is wonderful. Her knowledge and expertise in treating my right shoulder, hip and knee pain has been amazing.

From painful to painless in a few sessions! Dr Dana is incredibly gifted. When describing the pain I’ve had for years in my initial consult I teared up because the pain has limited my enjoyment of life and I’d given up hope that it could ever resolve.

★★★★★ — Marie, Jan 2026

Dr. Dana has been incredibly helpful to me! I have gone to her for several different reasons and have always found relief. She has helped my menstrual periods go from being excruciatingly painful to just uncomfortable. I sprained my ankle and hurt my shin and knee and she helped speed up the healing process.

★★★★★ — Anna, Jan 2025

Are you kidding??!! Former competitive lifter, 40+ years...frozen shoulder for 5 years with no physical therapy, chiropractic etc. success. Dr. Dana knows her stuff! Spot on assessment, extremely knowledgeable about muscular rehab, improving circulation in injured areas. First time with accupuncture...

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.
