From the reviews

Sarah is so kind and amazing at what she does. I went to her for the 6 months I lived in traverse city and she helped me immensely with my anxiety, TMJ, and digestive issues through acupuncture. Not to mention her studio is so welcoming, and the value of her treatments are hard to beat!!!!

★★★★★ — Sue, Apr 2023

On this Thanksgiving day I am very thankful to have found Sarah at Live Well Acupuncture. When I met Sarah I was desperate for pain relief. I had neck and shoulder pain, low back pain and numbness in my toes and the pads of my feet from sciatica. I have been seeing Sarah for 11 weeks.

★★★★★ — Rhonda, Nov 2022

I have been treated by Sarah over the last few years and have come to really look forward to my appointments. In addition to my discomfort being ease, Sarah really creates and experience where I feel taken care of. She's quick and always on time with my appointments.

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.
