From the reviews
I came to this clinic with intense pain in my hip, neck, and upper back. I’ve been living with chronic pain from scoliosis and finally decided to seek help. I’m so glad I did, and especially with Natural Life! The difference that my body feels, on a consistent basis, is priceless.
Dr dom totally helped my back and neck pain. I’m training for a long distance race and with out his help and knowledge wouldn’t been able to compete! In addition I had no idea how bad my sleep was until Dr D. Mentioned he could help my sleep get better .
This is my 3rd visit here and I will say Dr. Stape is awesome! I'm being treated for anxiety which has me dealing with insomnia! So far I'm noticing improvements! They also have other things here too that are noteworthy! I highly recommend this place!
I came here because I could not get in to pt for 2.5 months. The treatments have worked great!!! My appointment with pt is finally coming up, but I’m going to cancel because I don’t need it now. I’m pain free!
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Natural Life Acupuncture and Wellness
Natural Life Acupuncture and Wellness comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — a female practitioner is available here. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
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.
