From the reviews
…I typically have acupuncture and cupping done and it’s the perfect combo. Kara is so calming and perfect for anyone trying acupuncture for the first time and explained everything when it comes to acupuncture and Chinese medicine so perfectly.
Kara is wonderful! Her space is beautiful and serene. She is soft and welcoming. She knew exactly where to needle me after a brief conversation and intuitive touch. Go see Kara! You won't regret it.
Kara is incredible! She is knowledgeable and really listens to your needs. My shoulder pain has gotten so much better with her help!
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.
