What clients say about the cupping here
“I was having an episode of trigeminal neuralgia, slight headaches, neck pain, upper back pain, and stress-related tension in my upper body and after each treatment I could tell a major difference.”
“Melissa is a good listener and a skilled practitioner, and I can't recommend her enough.”
“I appreciate how she really takes the time to listen to everything that is going on with you before each acupuncture session.”
“Her soothing and calming energy were very welcome and I was able to put other concerns to the side while I was in her care.”
From the reviews
I have received cupping services and massage from Melissa. Though I now live some distance from her, I would visit regularly if I was local. Her soothing and calming energy were very welcome and I was able to put other concerns to the side while I was in her care.
Melissa is a gifted and compassionate practitioner. I see her regularly and am so grateful to be in her care. I’ve experienced a number of acupuncturists in my life and she is excellent. Melissa is highly skilled with needles, cupping, herbs, massage, and more. She listens deeply and has such a loving presence.
I cannot recommend Mel and Resilience Acupuncture & Wellness enough. I first went to Mel a few months ago with a slew of issues - allergies, upper abdominal discomfort, digestive problems - after just one treatment my allergies disappeared! The stomach problems have been improving ever since.
I would give 10 stars if I could. I've had a number of acupuncture experiences but seeing Melissa Shelton, LAc has by far been the best! She uses a very gentle and highly focused technique to get very holistic changes.
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.
