From the reviews

…She is a pro at cupping and electro acupuncture- which gets deep into the fascia. Plus she always has some medical grade red light on hand to keep my skin glowing while I am resting. MUST VISIT

I had Milana and she was fantastic! They are very thorough with addressing every concern, and I highly rec for those with gastrointestinal issues. My symptoms, alongside traditional western medicine, improved over the months I was with Milana.

★★★★★ — Karina, May 2026

I cant say enough good things about this place. After working with Philip for over a year, while going through IVF till after our first babys birth, I can honestly say this was one of the best choicest I made for my body and mind during that journey. I highly recommend this place and Philip in particular.

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
