From the reviews
I can’t say enough incredible things about Saco Wellness Acupuncture. I’ve worked with both Genevieve and Elizabeth, and while Genevieve has been my primary provider, the level of care from both of them is truly unmatched. From the moment you walk in, you feel heard. Not just listened to but genuinely understood.
I’ve been seeing the team at Saco River Acupuncture for years now and has become such a core part of my self care. Genevieve and Elizabeth are both incredible. They are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and just genuinely good humans.
Saco River Accupuncture helped me balance my hormones during perimenopause and I am forever grateful of their expertise. I was desperate and Elizabeth helped me with Accupuncture and also some Chinese herbs that were a lifesaver helping with symptoms.
I started seeing Genevieve for a chronic whiplash injury after exhausting all other treatments. She provided me with a comprehensive course of action and over the next 6-8 months the pain was almost entirely gone and my neck mobility was back at 100%.
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.
