From the reviews

Wanda at Kokoro Clinic is an amazing Chinese medicine practitioner. I have seen her for acupuncture, cupping, herbs and moxabustion. She is very kind and takes the time to really understand what is going on with your health and then she finds the best treatment to meet your unique needs.

★★★★★ — Leeann, Jan 2018

I've been receiving acupuncture from Wanda in her Kokoro Clinic for over a year now. I keep coming back because she keeps fixing me on all my various aches, pains, and health difficulties. I originally started working with Wanda because of a stiff hamstring muscle.

★★★★★ — Andy, Nov 2019

I am forever grateful that a flyer brought me to Wanda and Kokoro Clinic. I was experiencing numbness in my foot due to an old car accident injury, was given a flyer for Kokoro Clinic, and called Wanda for community acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Anastasia, Feb 2024

I find it hard to articulate the magnitude of support, ease, and care I’ve received at Kokoro clinic in the simplicity of strung together words. When I arrived at my first appointment, I was in a time of deep destabilization from trauma and ptsd.

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.
