From the reviews

I highly recommend getting acupuncture here. Very professional and clean. Cupping is included in the groupon so book now! Totally worth it. Real Chinese medicine acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Nancy, Feb 2020

Wei is a very talented acupuncturist and healer. He's very gentle, a careful listener, and is highly attuned. I've seen him for a variety of issues, from severe colds to generalized anxiety, and every single time I walk out of an appointment I feel much better.

★★★★★ — Taryn, Apr 2025

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Wei. He has been nothing short of a miraculous healer for me. I came to see him at a time when I could not function from pain in my back and hip. I was literally bent in half. I couldn’t straighten up, I couldn’t even lay down. I was miserable and losing hope. He was magical.

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.
