From the reviews

…He’s so helpful and so patient and answered all my questions through our tuina massage and cupping session. I felt so much better after it and I’m very relieved from what I was worried about with my body. Place is nice, clean and cute, but it’s kinda hidden. Note: come through the doors of Jiaren Cafe👌

Jun did an excellent job. He was firm yet gentle. This is one of the better massages I’ve had! I also tried cupping for the first time and my body feels so relaxed and refreshed! I’ll definitely be returning here. And the massage studio is attached to a very cute cafe! I 100% recommend!

★★★★★ — Candace, Jun 2021

…I also tried the cupping on my back which felt nice. I enjoyed my visit so much I bought a package for the Tuina massages. The treatment room is at the back of a cute tea/coffee shop that his wife runs which has great drink options! I’ll be back soon.

★★★★★ — Sonja, May 2021

…I've had 5 sessions here (each session I had included cupping, massage and acupuncture) and it was definitely worth it. I always come out of the clinic feeling peaceful, relaxed and rejuvenated. I started working out/ lifting more and Dr. Kim has helped me with the body aches/ back pain I was experiencing.

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.
