From the reviews

I had my first session with Tim today and I cannot say enough good things. I immediately felt comfortable with him and knew that I was in good hands. It is very clear how knowledgeable and passionate he is about his career. I felt heard, and not to mention, I was the most relaxed I have felt in a VERY long time.

Tim is not only a master of his art, he is an open soul who truly cares about your whole person. He takes the time to listen and create a plan that will help your body while helping center your mind and spirit.

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.
