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.”
“Between the acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and the building of conscious trust that I have in my body’s ability to heal itself - I have experienced life changing results from our work together.”
“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
Gabe is thorough and skilled at what he does. 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’ve been a client of Gabe’s for over a year now. Between the acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and the building of conscious trust that I have in my body’s ability to heal itself - I have experienced life changing results from our work together.
Last fall I was hit by a car and sustained an impact injury to my left shoulder. After 3 months of PT, analgesics and salves an x-ray & MRI diagnosed a 'frozen shoulder'. In March, I was still experiencing ongoing pain & serious limitations in my range of motion.
Gabe Schiff-Verre is an incredible acupuncturist and a master of his craft! I have had plenty of great acupuncture in my life, and yet Gabe stands out for his ability to be so comprehensive in his abilities. He listens, address', and targets the source of discomfort acutely and productively.
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.
