From the reviews

I've been seeing Weiping for a few months now and couldn't be happier with my experience. Not only have the acupuncture/cupping sessions been super relaxing and have helped reduce my stress levels & muscle aches, but the kindness and attention with which Weiping delivers her treatment is truly amazing.

★★★★★ — Jared, Dec 2022

First time going to this doctor today. From the minute I walked into the door until I left, I felt so welcomed and relaxed. The doctor is so happy, nice and comforting. I felt like we knew each other for a long time.

★★★★★ — Kathleen, Jul 2019

I've been going to her for years. Her treatments are proven by me and are the only remedy for my pain. Without her treatments, there are many daily things I would not be able to do. I owe her my life for restoring my quality of life as I get older.

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.
