What clients say about the cupping here
“Prior to hip surgery, Al's gentle healing approaches helped me maintain my mobility as I had a long wait before surgery.”
“From the moment you are greeted at the front door, relax with tea and are expertly cared for by the providers, you will feel the care of providers that truly care.”
“I've visited for a number of issues--unexplained pain, sinus issues, fatigue, postpartum recovery--and every time I leave feeling more balanced and grateful that I took time for myself.”
“I felt instantly at ease when I walked in - everyone was super kind and the space itself was really beautiful & relaxing.”

From the reviews
…I love their gentle acupuncture treatments with cupping; I always feel welcomed in that safe space to treat anything that is happening in my body, my 13 yo looks forward to seeing Al each month and enjoys the opportunity to get this special treatment.
…I highly recommend Al Reed for cupping and acupuncture which really worked wonders for me.
I had an excellent experience at Mandala and can't say enough good things about my therapist and the front desk coordinator staff! I saw Katy Kemp for physical therapy after a total hip replacement surgery. She was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind.
Working with PT Katy Kemp with our student athlete we’ve received excellent focused care that has made a huge difference in our kid’s pain level. We tried other PT places but Katy has been able to help when we haven’t gotten relief before. Great communication, excellent instructions for PT exercises at home.
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.
