“Extremely knowledgeable and educational on the rhyme and reason behind the techniques she uses for treatment allowing for us to continue treatment at home should we need!”
“The space is clean, calming, and well-organized, and everyone — from the front desk to the clinicians — is warm, professional, and welcoming.”

…I’ve worked with Eleanor who specializes in Chinese medicine - cupping and acupuncture. Extremely knowledgeable and educational on the rhyme and reason behind the techniques she uses for treatment allowing for us to continue treatment at home should we need!

…Within the last couple months I've been scheduling with Eleanor for acupuncture and cupping. She is AMAZING, needs a raise! I have never felt better. I no longer have back pain like before. She's so easy to talk to and very caring. It's awesome when professionals are kind and understanding.
I can't say enough great things about Dr. Ivette Mendez. I came in, hoping to get help with a damaged nerve that got worse after standing all day at my job, and due to her expertise and experience working with others who do a lot of physical labor and have longstanding hours, she knew exactly how to help me by testing…
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.
