From the reviews

I tore my Achilles in April of this year and had to have surgery. My friend recommended I go see Amanda. I am so glad that he did. It has been an amazing experience. Amanda is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I appreciate her insight on how the body works and what my body is doing.

Meche has been terrific to work with. They listened carefully, asked good follow-up questions, and explained the treatment as they were doing it. I’ve had good results these past two times and will continue to keep coming.

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.
