“Zachary is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to provide me with valuable insights and educate me on concepts to improve my health and overall wellness.”
“During the session, Zac made sure I was comfortable and constantly checked on each needle to make sure I was getting the full benefit of the therapy session.”
“His services are very affordable, but that in no way means he isn't worthy of what other practitioners charge.”
“My nervous system feels much more regulated and each appointment allowed my body to deeply heal in whatever ways it needed.”
From the reviews
This is a hidden gem for people without insurance to cover what could be an expensive treatment. Zac makes acupuncture approachable and easy to understand. He is well read in the Chinese treatment of acupuncture and hot cupping. He is affordable and speaks to you before each treatment to insure you are comfortable.
Forever grateful for Zac's expertise. I experienced significant results after only one session. I was struggling with chronic pain and tension in my neck and shoulders, after 2 sessions my issues have been alleviated and my range of motion has returned.
Zac is absolutely amazing and very skilled in his profession, look no further you have found the best acupuncturist! From my first treatment I have felt completely at ease with Zac. I have been sleeping much better and not waking as often through the night. That's huge for me!!!
This was truly a wonderful and uplifting experience. Zac's knowledge and skill in acupuncture are remarkable, and I left feeling better than I have in a very long time! I can already feel positive changes in my body, and I am so grateful for the care, compassion, and expertise he shared!
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Lucky Cat Acupuncture
Lucky Cat Acupuncture comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
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.
