From the reviews

…Most recently, the individualized treatment I received was in the form of needle insertion and cupping therapy on my back. Not only did I get immediate relief from both treatment methods but I also felt like she completely opened and expanded my back and my soul and I left her office feeling reset, rejuvenated and…

Laura is very skillful! I came in with an elbow injury that has been stubborn and some shoulder discomfort that comes from being a side-sleeper. 3 weeks and I feel pretty close to good as new. Not bad for a 60-year-old dude with a spare tire!

★★★★★ — D., May 2025

My first experience with accupuncture and Laura was amazing! She explained the process throughout and put me at ease immediately with her knowledge and her kindness. I felt an immediate easing of tendinitis pain and slept better than I had in a long time. Looking forward to going back again! Highly recommend!!

★★★★★ — Kim, Dec 2023

My wife & I have been going to Laura periodically for a couple of years. Laura’s treatments has deemed knee replacement surgery unnecessary for my wife. She has treated me successfully for a variety of nerve, muscle and arthritic conditions. My wife and I had previously tried medications and PT to no avail.

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.
