What clients say about the cupping here
“Paola has supported me in reducing my ailments (allergies, lower back pain, sciatica, neck pain) as well as providing me with extra boosts of energy as I've needed it.”
“After speaking w an orthopedic expert, who suggested it could be herniation in lower discs, she recommended a short electroaccupuncture therapy session.”
“She listens deeply and treats the root cause of any issue, always customizing care to what your body truly needs.”
“The first time I went to see her for back pain she delved right into my medical history with such detail, I felt so taken care of.”
From the reviews
Paola has literally saved my life a few times. A few years ago, I was suffering from migraines that I self-medicated w aleve and caffeine, pain in lower back and neck, gi issues. She was able to “read” what my body was saying and always had a thoughtful treatment plan in mind.
I have been a patient of Paola's for many years. She absolutely has THE touch! She is not only intuitive, but is also passionate about studying her craft and is always learning and growing as a practitioner.
I’m now 7 months along with our first and I can’t imagine getting through this pregnancy without Paola. Every session is a complete game changer. I have more energy, feel more balanced and she has supported my blood sugar stability, areas of pain and mood.
I met Paola while I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I had lost my brother and was dealing with severe depression & anxiety. She is kind & compassionate. A gifted healer - she helped me manage grief and her sessions enabled me to perform my job, social obligations & day to day activities.
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.
