From the reviews
I have been to many Acupunturist over the last 12 years (cupping, stem, herbs and much much) and Anna is a magician at hearing what your body needs. She has a gift of healing and I feel fortunate to have been the recipient of her blessings.
I saw Amanda every week toward the end of my pregnancy and have been working with her in my postpartum journey as well. She is SO knowledgeable about women’s health, pregnancy, herbs, and she is so encouraging. I HIGHLY recommend her to everyone who is struggling physically, mentally, or who just needs a little boost!
I cannot say enough great things about Anna Ritner. She changed my life just after one appointment. I had been suffering from infertility for 4 years. I had over 12 chemical pregnancies. After talking to countless doctors and getting nowhere I was just about to do IVF.
After well over a year of daily stomach and back pain I saw my OB to ask about the possibility of endometriosis. She said it was likely my situation and suggested birth control pills or trying accupuncture. Just by luck and a quick Google search I found Monarch Accupuncture and Amanda.
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.
