From the reviews

I began seeing Kayla just two months ago, and the transformation in my quality of life has been nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve lived with Multiple Sclerosis and suffered from Burning Tongue Syndrome for over 15 years. Countless specialists told me the same thing: “There’s no cure.

★★★★★ — Genevieve, Jul 2025

Beginning my acupuncture journey and I cannot speak highly enough. Amanda and her staff are top notch. Kayla works miracles unimaginable, can’t say I was a sceptic, just didn’t know what to expect. After years of getting nowhere with “traditional doctors “ being dismissed and getting nowhere.

★★★★★ — Monique, Nov 2024

I started acupuncture to help treat several autoimmune diseases as well as anxiety. Acupuncture has been very helpful for stress, anxiety, and I believe really does help the body heal itself over time. The community clinic has been such a blessing to me. Being on a fixed income, I am so very grateful for this offering.

★★★★★ — Meredith, Feb 2020

This is by far the most holistic, intuitive and integrative acupuncture I’ve ever received. Amanda brings an incredibly deep, gentle, and knowledgeable presence in every moment with her. The office is peaceful and beautiful with acupuncture inspired art as well in a convenient location and easy parking.

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.
