What clients say about the cupping here
“I came to Nicole for a variety of reasons, mostly to focus on lowering stress levels, balancing my hormones/fertility health, and also to address stiffness and upper back pain.”
“Before I went to see Nicole, I had experienced a lot of pain that made it difficult to put weight on my left leg at times.”
“Nicole listened carefully, treated my sports injury effectively, and went above and beyond with practical, thoughtful tips for healing at home.”
“My sessions with Nicole have helped me reach back into my body and find a calm place to return to.”
“For the first time in decades, I didn’t need to use ibuprofen or a heating pad 24/7 through my cycle.”
From the reviews
Absolutely phenomenal, personalized care! From my first visit, I felt the immediate impact of Nicole's tailored, holistic treatment. She helped me prepare and go through IVF and a (successful) embryo transfer, flexing her schedule to accommodate me and truly taking into consideration all factors in my life as she…
Before seeing Nicole, I was experiencing chronic pain in between my shoulder blades and in my neck area. After seeing Nicole consistently for a few months, not only was my pain reduced but i also noticed a shift in my headspace as well. I felt like I had an excellent, almost meditative experience during each treatment.
I've been seeing Nicole for a few months and have found her treatments for chronic tension headaches, fatigue, and insomnia more helpful than many of the other practitioners I've seen over the last decade. She is calm, kind, and caring and it shows in the relief I've gotten from working with her
Working with Nicole has been great. She is very thorough, caring and listens to your concerns, adjusting treatment as needed. I was having hip and neck pain that significantly reduced over a series of treatments with her. She also takes insurance!! Would definitely recommend!
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.
