From the reviews

On a day where I most needed nourishment, revitalization and relaxation I just happened to have an appointment scheduled with Spring. I went into the appointment with my regular list of ailments and complaints which included feeling depleted, tired and worn out.

★★★★★ — Yogi, Apr 2026

Spring is incredibly attentive, focused, tuned in, caring, skillful, wise, professional and a terrific person and healer. She gives openly of herself. She manages numerous patients with ease. She's dedicated to helping her patients get well, and she's totally present and serious about it.

★★★★★ — Vicki, Sep 2025

I have been having major issues with my gut. Despite many tests & medications from doctors, i still don’t feel well. Until i see Spring. She listens, asks questions and then treats me. After treatment i feel incredible! And my gut issues are subsiding. Spring is an amazing healer. ❤️

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.
