From the reviews

…Justine administered the treatments (acupuncture, light message, and some cupping), and she has expert knowledge and is very skilled. Just awesome. It is too early for me to tell if the acupuncture worked for me as I just wen there today, but when Justine was done with me, I felt amazing. The treatment was so relaxing.

★★★★★ — Greg, May 2026

…I had acupuncture and cupping and both were awesome. Relaxing, relieving, and somehow energizing at the same time. I will definitely go again!

★★★★★ — Ben, Jul 2025

…She was immediately able to identify the problem and we did accupuncture, infrared heat, and cupping. She also recommended products to help. I am feeling MUCH better today and will definitely be returning! Thanks Lauren!!!

★★★★★ — Marin, May 2025

My session with Lauren was incredibly grounding and restorative. From the start, I could feel my energy settling and flowing more naturally — nothing dramatic, just a steady shift into ease. As the session progressed, areas of tension gently released and everything felt smoother and more balanced throughout my body.

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.
