From the reviews
My session with Laura was incredible. Her knowledge of holistic health and well-being was exemplified in our session which included acupuncture, massage, and cupping therapy. Throughout the session, I felt a gentle, soothing energy flowing through my body, releasing tension and promoting a profound sense of well-being.
Laura is a wonderful healer. I had an amazing session with her, she practiced acupuncture and cupping. I had a lot of tension in my back and shoulders, and they dissolved substantially throughout the session. I felt so relaxed after the session. Thank you Laura! I’ll come back!!
My partner and I have been working with Laura for over a year now. Her attentiveness to the situations we have been facing physically and her care has been so beautiful not only to witness but to see how her care has made us both grow.
I had shoulder pain for months before starting acupuncture treatments with Laura at Holistic Acupuncture. I started feeling better immediately after my first treatment and after several more, feel significantly better.
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.
