From the reviews
I've received a gift certificate from my son for a full service (acupuncture, cupping, and massage), so, I went for my initial consultation with Lara. I was impressed on the attention she was giving to me. She spent time to get to know me first, then focused on my well being.
To start, I’m 33 weeks pregnant and have suffered from chronic rib pain for the last 3.5 months. I visited the chiropractor twice a week for 6 weeks to address my rib concerns with little to no improvement and had to sleep on our couch basement if I wanted a good nights rest.
First time trying acupuncture & cupping and I have to say I AM VERY HAPPY I chose them because I had the most amazing experience. Quite magical too-- the way my body responded to each part of the process was beautiful. Lara is an absolute angel and made me feel so comfortable and taken care of from the beginning.
This was my first time with acupunture, trying fire cupping or really learning about Chinese Medicine. Lara is SO kind, so real and listens, while also teaches you about every part of the process within your appointment.
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.
