From the reviews

I absolutely love and couldn’t recommend enough this place and their incredible practitioners. Staff is wonderful and efficient. Place is clean, organized and so welcoming. It’s being four years that I go there and it does wonders to my health (anxiety, insomnia, joint pain, hormonal issues…).

My first time ever for acupuncture and the ambiance was very tranquil. The staff friendly. The practitioner was friendly, gentle and answered all of my questions. The acupuncture and cupping were amazing! Never thought it would feel that good, definitely going to make this a regimen for my body healing!

Love Sul! She’s so personable and warm. At this point, she knows how to heal all of my ailments be it anxiety, insomnia or back pain. And she’s a true delight to talk to. The receptionist Amanda is also super lovely and we always have a nice chat. Acupuncture helps so much with physical ailments and mental clarity.

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.
