★★★★★ — Shannon, Apr 2025

Matt is personable, professional, responsive and kind. It was clear from my first session that Matt’s top priority is helping his clients experience more health and ease in their lives. Matt addressed my complaints of persistent muscle pain, tension, and vertigo head on.

I've been seeing Matt for acupuncture and cupping to treat muscle tension, headaches, and some secondary symptoms, and I've already noticed real improvements in just a few weeks. Matt is incredibly thoughtful, experienced, and thorough, more so than other practitioners I've seen in the past.

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.
