From the reviews

We've been going to Heather for a few years now. Easy to schedule appointments, works with our insurance, and love the treatment received to help alleviate and/or relieve various ailments (combination of acupuncture, cupping, and massaging).

★★★★★ — Craig, Mar 2025

I not only had a wonderful experience at Sullivan Acupuncture, but have become a regular client of Heathers. Heather is knowledgeable, personable, caring and wonderful. I have been seeking treatment for difficulty with fertility and have seen some pretty amazing results.

★★★★★ — Lizzie, Jul 2019

I have been going to Sullivan Acupuncture for a few years. Heather is great! She has a gentle touch. My carpal tunnel syndrome has been relieved by receiving acupuncture on a regular basis. Acupuncture has helped me to push back carpal tunnel surgery too.

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.
