From the reviews
Heidi is my miracle worker! After years of trying (since 2021) with IUIs and a round of unsuccessful IVF, we turned to Heidi for help. Along with lifestyle changes and seeing her weekly, we naturally conceived in about 6 months.
Dr. Heidi Kao has been not only an amazing acupunturist but also a friend in our family planning journey. We met her in 2021 after over a year of unexplained secondary infertility.
Dr. Kao is an incredibly skilled healer, and I am forever grateful for the hours I've spent on her table. I don't know how she manages to see exactly what she sees, but she's truly adept at knowing exactly where to apply treatments, and she's managed to help me through a number of symptoms that just weren't getting…
I highly recommend Dr Heidi Kao's clinic for health and wellness concerns especially for pregnancy and trying to conceive. Heidi, Eve, and the rest of the team supported my long and difficult fertility journey with expert care and also treated a number of other issues and injuries along the way.
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.
