What clients say about the cupping here
“Even for conditions I have ultimately resolved with modern medicine, the conditions were made more manageable, especially in terms of pain relief, by Gabe's care.”
“Gabe is excellent - knowledgeable and professional while also being friendly and putting me at ease.”
“Gabe is an excellent listener and is always actively directing his treatments based on what he judges will truly help.”
“This safe and comfortable space, his expertise and kindness, all contribute towards the fostering of a deeper healing to come forth from within.”
“I also went to him for pain -- chronic lower back pain, as well as sports related injuries -- and the results were equally astounding.”
“When I first visited Gabe I was in a lot of pain, it took several weeks of treatment but it was the first time in a year that I had relief from the chronic issue!”
From the reviews
…He has added treatments (e-stim, meridian massage, cupping, etc…) along with acupuncture that complement the service he provides. I’ve done acupuncture in the past with no perceivable results.
I was diagnosed with hyperplasia (with atypia) and was looking at a hysterectomy. Three months under Gabe Schiff Verre's care reversed the diagnosis -- and the need for surgery. I could not recommend him more.
After a recommendation from a friend, my only regret was not trying accupuncture sooner. Injury after injury I felt like I had no options but accupuncture here has been the best thing I’ve done compared to any other modality. I highly recommend this business.
Gabe is the consummate professional. Attentive, considerate and very experienced. He has helped me immensely over the past few months recovering from a nagging muscle injury. I would highly recommend him to all.
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.
