From the reviews
Dr Kristen is a solid energy healer. Acupuncture, cupping and good vibes sort me out every time. We also work on the best supplements catered to me. She is amazing and a must in my world.
I can’t recommend Dr. Kristen Lum highly enough! Her approach to healthcare is truly refreshing. As a functional doctor specializing in Eastern medicine, she focuses on healing through proper nutrition and addressing the root cause of health issues, rather than just masking symptoms. Dr.
We had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Kristen Lum. She was incredibly detailed, kind, and intentional in how she approached both me and my 5-year-old son. What stood out most was her warmth and calm presence—after about 45 minutes with her, my son, who had been very hesitant, felt safe and at ease enough to take…
My wife and I have had a great experience with Dr. Lum. We have discontinued all of our prescription medications and started on a natural regimen of supplements. We are doing great! Dr. Lum is compassionate and takes her time at each visit.
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.
