What clients say about the cupping here
“Her extensive professional expertise combined with her exquisite intuitive touch and personable approach makes her one of the finest practitioners of TCM.”
“An intuitive ability to listen to what your body whispers.”
“She would also be a great choice for a hesitant patient who hasn’t experienced holistic care/acupuncture before, because she’s so gentle, kind, and humble.”
“I have received acupuncture from Sarah and participated in her cleanse, twice, which is a wonderful way to comfortably detox and reset eating habits in a supported space.”
From the reviews
Dr. Sarah possesses a rare gift. An intuitive ability to listen to what your body whispers. Her gentle yet precise approach leaves me feeling lighter, clearer, and more balanced every time.
Sarah is a gifted healer! She puts you in a deep space of relaxation and renewal every time you walk through the doors. She’s Incredibly kind and caring & I always leave with a full cup.
We had the good fortune to have Dr. Sarah support my elderly Mom in the last six months of her life. Sarah’s caring, competent manner and supportive suggestions were a big help.
Dr. Sarah is a wonderful doctor & every visit just gets better! I had the acupuncture treatment this time & it was extremely relaxing & helpful to my back, neck & overall body. I have definitely found my acupuncture doctor here in Asheville, I am so glad since I like Dr.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Natural Pathways Acupuncture Asheville
Natural Pathways Acupuncture Asheville 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.
