From the reviews

Go see Krishna!!! Krishna is the most amazing acupuncturist I have ever visited. She has a special energy - you will love it too, I'm sure!! She also incorporates sound healing into her practice, and cupping sometimes. I always look forward to my sessions with Krishna!

★★★★★ — Sujata, Jan 2023

Krishna is the best! She is the only acupuncturist I see, mainly because she targets my needs and goes above and beyond every time. She listens to what I'd like her to focus on and the atmosphere she provides is so relaxing and peaceful.

★★★★★ — Nozomi, Apr 2016

I've been going to Krishna for close to 10 yrs and I don't know what I'd do without her! My main treatments are acupuncture and she has helped me so much with my migraines!! I used to have a couple migraines per week and, now, I only get one every other month or so.

★★★★★ — Shelley, Apr 2023

I started going to Krishna for acupuncture to explore potential relief for back/neck pain and recurring headaches. She thoughtfully asked a number of questions, which led to the opportunity to address my liver function.

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.
