From the reviews

I highly recommend Intuitive Acupuncture. The care here is truly personalized, thoughtful, and effective. Jonathan has helped me immensely with chronic neck, jaw, and back pain. He specializes in musculoskeletal issues and uses acupuncture, cupping, and custom exercises and stretches that have given me lasting relief.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Jan 2026

I originally went to Intuitive Acupuncture to relieve a headache I’d had for over a week. After that session the headache was gone and I was a believer, so the following week I went back for my chronic neck and shoulder pain. I have now gone back several times including a relief for nausea.

★★★★★ — Dana-Marie, Jan 2017

I went to see Jonathan at intuitive acupuncture after I found myself unable to turn my head to the right. I had been sleeping on the floor for a couple days and it had really messed up my neck/shoulders. I was originally skeptical of acupuncture as a treatment but it totally worked!

★★★★★ — Ellen, Apr 2018

Jonathan is exceptional at what he does. He made me feel comfortable from the beginning (even though I was a bit nervous). He asked a series of questions to pin point and customize my treatment. As soon as I was able to relax I began to feel the euphoric relaxation.

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.
