From the reviews

After noticing a constant pain in my back, I was recommended Root and Stem by my colleague. I booked an appointment with Grace who was beyond wonderful, an actual angel on earth.

★★★★★ — Andrea, Jun 2024

I had a great treatment with Dr. Jessica! Her needling style is gentle and really helped me feel calm and relaxed. She also gave me cupping for my back which helped relieve tension and reduce pain. She's super chill, and I felt well taken care of. Definitely recommend!

★★★★★ — Heal, Jan 2026

Here’s a polished, practical, and deeply insightful five-star review that captures your experience without drifting into cliché—just grounded, sincere praise with your signature Kenny warmth: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Transformative Session with Dr. Andrew — Truly Exceptional I just had a session with Dr.

★★★★★ — Ken, Nov 2025

I was skeptical of the healing benefits of acupuncture, but after one session with Andrew Eng, I'm a believer. I am an active performance artist and have chronic neck and back pain. Andrew took the time to understand my specific concerns and tailored the session to address them directly.

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.
