From the reviews

…My husband got cupping and some acupuncture on his back for pain he'd been having, and he felt immediate relief. He hasn't been back to the chiropractor in a few weeks since because he's been feeling so much better. We both can't wait for our next visit when we're in town!

Mara has helped me with a long term back injury using both cupping and acupuncture. She’s got a warm and inviting demeanor, and it’s evident from the moment you meet her that she loves what she does!

★★★★★ — Kam, Aug 2021

…She has helped me with a long term neck issue using both cupping and acupuncture. A wonderful bonus is the cold jade facial rejuvenation! I have referred several friends who have also had great results and highly recommend her to anyone interested in trying acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Kerri, Aug 2021

Mara is an amazing acupuncturist and healer. I came in to treat a lower back injury. Mara's acupuncture and cupping treatments helped immediately. It only took five sessions, but I've had significant long term relief ever since. I can't recommend her enough!

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.
