From the reviews

I've been fortunate enough to have Karen's help with my health goals since the end of last year. Having previously been to a few different acupuncturists, Karen is the only whose needles I don't feel as they are being placed on my various sensitive areas.

If you need surgery or have a broken bone, Karen can't help you. For just about anything else, she'll know exactly what to do! As she reviews your answers on her 6-page intake form, she can tell you which organs are depleted of which vitamins and minerals; how diet and gut health are connected to any number of…

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.
