From the reviews
…Rachel also incorporates acupressure, cupping and guasha, depending on my needs. I do not know how well I would have survived this last year without her treatments.
…My injury that brought me to Rachel was different from my usual bumps, bruises and sprains. My upper right arm and hand had been completely paralyzed from the shoulder down. I’ve worked with PTs and OTs to recover the use and regain my strength.
Rachel has been treating me for my fibromyalgia for about a year now. With her holistic treatment approach, I am able to go without pharmaceutical treatment most of the time—a huge thing if you know anything about living with chronic pain! She is a true healer and is extremely knowledgeable.
Rachel has helped me with shoulder pain, perimenopausal symptoms, life's ongoing challenges and she is really good and helpful with zeroing in on what needs attention. She is a good listener, skilled in a variety of approaches and I am grateful for the relief I've experienced with her help and care. Highly recommended!
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.
