From the reviews
I was introduced to Melinda and Gentle Touch Acupuncture a year ago. Her cupping procedures and acupuncture have been very effective for me and my spinal cord issues. As a Veteran with chronic pain, I highly recommend you give her a call.
I really can not say enough positive things about my experience with Melinda at Gentle Touch Acupuncture. But why don't I go ahead and try! I have been struggling with the arthritis in my knees for years and especially over the past year and a half.
Melinda is great and I highly recommend her. This is the first time I’ve tried Acupuncture… gosh I’ve been missing out.

My husband and I found Gentle Touch Accupunture on-line in 2021. We were needing to do some stress relief and I have always found acupuncture amazing at getting the job done! Never in a million years did I think I would find a professional that cared about the whole person as much as Melinda does!
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.
