From the reviews

Jillian is a skilled, compassionate and highly knowledgeable practitioner. I have been seeing her for over 4 years for acupuncture and cupping and her treatments make a huge difference for me.

★★★★★ — Anne, Jan 2023

Jillian is such a wonderful, knowledgable, and trusting individual. I first saw her when she worked in another location as an initial introduction to acupuncture and cupping. She was friendly and insightful about what we could work on. We targeted certain areas to release tension and I noticed a difference immediately.

★★★★★ — Julie, Jun 2025

I saw Jillian consistently for a few months to treat pain from frozen shoulder, and her treatments made a noticeable difference. I later realized she was the resident acupuncturist at exhale Back Bay before it closed, which made perfect sense—she’s incredibly skilled.

★★★★★ — Kathryn, Apr 2025

I began seeing Jillian to address lower back pain from a previous car accident. After a thorough intake process, she devised a treatment plan that combines acupuncture with cupping and I am feeling a lot 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.

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.
