From the reviews

…I receive not only acupuncture and herbs but cupping as well as Traumeel injections for my newly diagnosed arthritic hands. I am a dog trainer and need my hands to be strong for my work. Both Irin and Pete are wonderful and intuitive people I refer to as my needle ninjas!

★★★★★ — Dianne, Apr 2024

…And I see Peter for needling and cupping my shoulders to address old rotator cuff injuries. I’ve experienced big improvements in my shoulder mobility and pain reduction. My regular sessions with these two amazing humans are a big part of how I maintain my overall wellness.

★★★★★ — Eddie, Mar 2025

…With many modalities such as gua sha, cupping, facial acupuncture, and neuromuscular therapies you can’t go wrong choosing this practice. Irin also has a massive amount of knowledge about pregnancy, labor and birth.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Mar 2024

…Acupuncture, cupping, herbs, these two really know their stuff!

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.
