From the reviews
…I go for regular acupuncture for all my aches and pains, she uses different tools (like cupping & gua sha) to assist with the needles-and if you are scared of needles she will just use cupping and gua sha. She has made a huge difference in my quality of life.
…Highly recommend seeing Juliet for other treatments like gua sha and cupping as well.
…She has treated both me and my husband with acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and massage and we always leave our sessions feeling so relaxed and good in our bodies. We love her new spot on Forest Ave!
I won a gift certificate to Panax and cashed it in for a gua sha and facial cupping session with Juliet. Great, relaxing service, eased tension I’ve been carrying for a while this season! Would recommend it if you’re going through a stressy period or could just use a bit of pampering. Thanks, Juliet!
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.
