From the reviews

…And cupping is so great I think I like it more than massage. Dr. Lidia does wonders. I definitely trust her with the care of myself and loved ones.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Apr 2023

…Lidia masterfully deployed her craft on me: targeted massages, cupping, and acupuncture. She explained everything along the way, making sure I was feeling comfortable, informed, and safe. Heated blankets, soothing music, and good smells sealed the deal.

★★★★★ — Ziad, Nov 2025

…The combo of acupuncture + cupping is my go-to which includes acupuncture, fire cupping and astrodome oxygen facial. Her fire cupping therapy feels so good the cups feel like a massage and I love that she pairs it with acupuncture and astrodome facial leaves my skin glowy, dewy and refreshed.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Sep 2025

…Additionally, with each session, I received both cupping and scraping. Both are amazing ways to bring blood to the treatment area and help move the stagnant blood which promotes the healing process of the body. Finally, Dr Lidia is very knowledgeable with Chinese herbs.

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.
