From the reviews

I had 9/10 cervical neck pain that led to severe scapular and trapezius tightness and pain. I was miserable. I went to Pleasant Wellness for acupuncture, and Julia started with a pointed and impactful physical assessment.

I cannot say enough good things about Julia! She is kind, patient, careful, accurate, down-to-earth and humorous! She really cares about my wellbeing, takes the time to listen and really understand my injury.

★★★★★ — Andrea, Jan 2022

I have received acupuncture, cupping and massage at Pleasant Wellness. Julia is always very caring and kind. She listens patiently and asks questions every week, in order to provide the best treatment. I have experienced significant relief of pain in my shoulder and neck as well as have improved range of motion.

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
