From the reviews

…I’ve always been a believer in acupuncture and now a firm believer in Tuni Na Massage and Cupping. From the start, she will listen to what ails you and from there; design the best plan to treat you. I’ve also tried the Infrared Sauna Pods and afterwards I felt detoxed, rejuvenated and so relaxed.

★★★★★ — David, Jul 2023

…I’ve gone to her for acupuncture, cupping, massages, radiofrequency microneedling which has made such a difference. She has helped my body in so many ways. I always leave feeling more relaxed, less stressed, and just better overall.

★★★★★ — Nadine, Jul 2026

…I’ve had back pain for over 5 years, and her combination of acupuncture, cupping, and traditional Chinese medicine always brings me relief. What really sets her apart is that she focuses on treating the root cause, not just the symptoms. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about her patients.

★★★★★ — Angela, May 2026

I came here for acupuncture and cupping treatments because I had major lower back pain. I was treated by Dr. Dan. I was very impressed by his bedside manner, professionalism and knowledge. He also recommend some exercises for me to do at home. My back felt all better after 2 treatments. Thanks Dr.

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.
