From the reviews

I'm incredibly grateful to have found Maine CHI two years ago. I have struggled for years with muscular pain in my neck and shoulders. Isaac made me comfortable about trying acupuncture and cupping. It brought great relief quickly. I then started to see Dr. Mari who has the most comprehensive knowledge I've seen!

★★★★★ — Caroline, Sep 2019

I have had great experiences here, both with Isaac for acupuncture and Mari for naturopathic care. They are friendly, down to earth, and really listen to and focus on your priorities. Office staff is helpful, flexible, and patient. Love this family-owned business supporting healthy options for Central Maine!

★★★★★ — Jonathan, Dec 2024

Knowledgeable, professional, caring. Isaac and Mari are the other side of the "medical world" where they are actually invested in patient health and longevity. If you feel trapped in conventional health care and have not been provided any answers or successful treatments other than pills Maine CHI just may be your…

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.
