From the reviews
…In addition to acupuncture she also uses cupping techniques to release my muscles which helps me so much. In addition to her skills as a practitioner, Kristina has a wonderful personality. She’s an amazing listener, empathetic, and so understanding.
…She not only does gentle work with the needles, but her cupping skills are incredible. Combine that with chinese herbs and you have what you need to help a lot of people. Krisitna's smile will put you at ease and she is wonderful at her job.
I absolutely love coming to see Dr. Yotive! She is an amazing healer and I can’t even begin to express how much she has helped me through some difficult health challenges. I felt completely broken when I first began to see her and I feel like a different person now.
Kristina has helped me through so many parts of my health journey- injuries, stress, sleep struggles, pregnancy etc etc. I've never trusted a practitioner more with my health and wellness and I understand my body on a whole new level thanks to her help and guidance.
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.
