From the reviews

This was my first experience with acupuncture and truthfully, I was very skeptical. I am a believer now!! It's truly amazing and she is the best. Very informative and fully explained everything to me. Thank you!

I've seen Manuela on numerous occasions for different ailments. She has always helped me. She really knows the acupuncture trade and the herbs. She has a very calm demeanor, you will feel relaxed right away when you meet her and when she is treating you (I fall asleep).

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.
