From the reviews
…Pain was noticeably less by the end of the session and after a second treatment (acupuncture and cupping along with physical manipulation of the joints and affected muscle groups) the pain had been massively reduced.
I have been seeing Deanna almost weekly for nearly my entire pregnancy (~7 months) to treat general aches and pains that come with pregnancy and even more so, my chronic migraines due to head/neck/jaw tension - something I suffered from before pregnancy.
Dr. Wu is a highly skilled and effective practitioner. I have a torn meniscus and my orthopedist recommended surgery. I was told it wouldn’t heal on its own. As I am leery of having surgery unless absolutely necessary, I decided to give eastern medicine a go and I am so glad I did .
I recently finished the Detox & Eliminate program, and it was amazing. Christina is very knowledgeable, supportive, and always there to help. The program is tough—you really have to commit—but it works. I felt supported through the group chats, webinars, and self-paced lessons.
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.
