From the reviews

My sister recommended Mark to me after I was suffering from debilitating back pain due to lower disc herniations. Mark was kind, supportive, and nonjudgmental as I showed up in tremendous pain. After a week, my pain level had gone down drastically and I was able to live my life somewhat normally again.

★★★★★ — Robin, Sep 2024

Mark is a fantastic acupuncturist! I have been seeing him for a year now, on a weekly basis. He has demonstrated deep knowledge in oriental medicine and the application of acupuncture in several different situations that I needed. In addition, in every session Mark shows how important it is to have a caring heart.

★★★★★ — André, Jul 2022

I began seeing Mark this winter on a whim in hopes that it would help with a variety of issues including anxiety, dizziness, irritability, and general burnout. The acupuncture coupled with a myriad of other changes that I’ve made to my diet, sleep, habits, all suggested by Mark, has changed my life.

★★★★★ — Kathryn, May 2019

I came to Mark with some back pain and other issues. I’ve heard about acupuncture and how helpful and beneficial it could be and decided to give it a try. My experience was amazing. Mark cares about his patients, listens and gives lifestyle recommendations and practical advice.

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.
