From the reviews

I found Roots Acupuncture and Healing via Google! I decided to try it out since I noticed that they may accept my insurance. As it turns out my insurance covers 20 session at a $20 co-pay each! That was excellent news. I met with Rena (the acupuncturist) to discuss my medical history and goals for acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Dilana, Mar 2021

Dr Münster is the most compassionate and intelligent medical professional I’ve ever met. I’m always nervous and embarrassed to explain my health history to a new practitioner, but Rena handles everything with so much grace that I felt comfortable telling her everything.

★★★★★ — Tavia, Jun 2023

This review is for anybody that has been skeptical about trying acupuncture. I cannot believe I waited until my 70s to try this, but Dr. Munster is absolutely amazing! She is through, listening to where my pain was coming from, explaining how through these treatments relief would come.

★★★★★ — Jerry, Nov 2025

I am so glad I started seeing Dr. Rena for acupuncture. Her 5 elements training and experience in acupuncture has been a game changer for my health. I wish I would have started years ago. I feel so calm and revitalized after my visits. Dr.

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.
