From the reviews
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.
I came to Justine with immense pain in my heels and sciatica. I had been trying everything imaginable to help my heels feel better, and after 2 sessions with her, the pain was greatly diminished. By my 4th session, my heel pain is almost gone. The sciatica was gone after the 1st appointment.
Justine goes above and beyond for her patients. She has a very relaxing and clean clinic. She really gets to know her patients before treating them. She has a very well rounded approach to her practice and can certainly address many needs. It is always an absolute treat to book appointments with her.
Justine is a skilled practitioner with a welcoming, supportive and caring personality. She made space in her schedule to see me right away and provided me with exactly what my body needed. I highly recommend Justine for your healing needs!
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.
