From the reviews

Dr. Lidia really changed acupuncture for me. My back can be really tense and I was nervous, not going to lie, but her treatment was so gentle. I am really able to relax into a peaceful state. And cupping is so great I think I like it more than massage. Dr. Lidia does wonders.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Apr 2023

This was my first ever acupuncture treatment, and I don't think I could have had a better experience. From the moment I entered the clinic, I felt safe and welcome. It was raining heavily outside, and I felt like I had entered a new universe of calm and peace. The treatment itself was nothing short of exceptional.

★★★★★ — Ziad, Nov 2025

I’ve been seeing Dr Lidia for years. Dr. Lidia care stands out to me because she only sees only person at a time so I always leave feeling like I got the most out of my treatment.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Sep 2025

Dr Lidia is amazing with the positions she places her needles!! I have been with her two and a half years-both before and after a cervical fusion. She has helped me maintain the mobility of my neck and lower overall pain; She is an absolute earth angel!!

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.
