From the reviews
I enjoyed Thai massage and also acupuncture for leg pain. I plan to return when in the area. There are many options here and I want to learn more about Chinese medicine also. The website outlines all the services and the online scheduling works great.
Kate is an amazing acupuncturist and she also does trigger point acupuncture, which is difficult to find. If ever I had and injury, or woke up with a stiff neck, she was always there to save the day. Also, convenient location right off the highway!
Kate is amazing!!! She helped my get my carpal tunnel down from 'OMG I need surgery because the numbing fire is keeping me up at night' to 'I can get a treatment once or twice a year if I overdue it in the yard or with my guitar' She helped my husband get back up on his feet for his lower back/hip pain.
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.
