What clients say about the cupping here
“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.”

“While acupuncture is an amazing practice, Rachel is also the kindest person who will listen to your concerns to be sure that she is giving you the best possible treatment.”
“But acupuncture and Rachel's amazing knowledge of the body, its form, and how it heals completely saved my shoulder and one year later, I have absolutely no pain or tightness.”

From the reviews
This last year has been a difficult year, as my 14-yr old son was critically ill with cancer and eventually passed away. Rachel's treatments have been critical to MY emotional and physical health. ( I've been going to Rachel for about a year, usually every week.) Rachel is a highly sensitive and caring practitioner.
I’ve never experienced “dry needling” before. 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 saved my shoulder! I am a yoga instructor and injured my shoulder but due to the repetitive nature of teaching, it could not heal. Nothing helped in its recovery... from orthopedic doctors to physical therapy to a chiropractor.
I have had such a wonderful experience with Rachel! I came to see her for an inner ear problem...fluid in my ear. It was causing some hearing loss and just wouldn't clear up despite three different doctors looking at it. It had been recommended by the ENT to have tubes put in my ear. I was not a fan of that idea.
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.
