Justine is a knowledgeable and amazing acupuncturist. She has helped me so much over the past few years. I am a teacher, and was always getting sick. Her treatments helped to boost my immune system, and her knowledge of Chinese traditional herbs and medicine supported my healing process.
Justine provides a very healing energy , space and true sanctuary to her patients ! I have been seeing Justine weekly for about a year now and have found relief from a wide variety of symptoms including allergies , anxiety, and nervous system regulation.
Justine offers a welcoming practice that personalizes the care and treatment to your needs. I've never felt this safe, understood, and heard in the presence of a doctor or professional.
Justine is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, professional, and collaborative in figuring out and adjusting the best care for me. I went to her for anxiety/depression as well as some general body aches and I look forward to my appointments each week.
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.
