From the reviews

I have been having multiple problems but the main one was right shoulder pain and headaches. After my first session the pain had subsided quite a bit. I just finished my second session and it went better than the last. The area is nice and relaxing, and they have a variety of tea for you after.

★★★★★ — Brent, Apr 2024

So far so 👍 good. It's my 2nd time here. I was skeptical at first but my first visit was great and this week will tell me more because acupuncture keeps working after the session. The atmosphere is A+ rated. It's very clean, relaxing, and top notch professionals work hard to please their clients.

★★★★☆ — Sheavon, Mar 2025

From Michelle at the front desk to Meagan who facilitated my (first) acupuncture session, five stars. As the other reviews state, the place is immaculately clean, calming and inviting. Yes, it is a community acupuncture room but it honestly didn’t feel weird to me at all— and it keeps the price down.

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.
