From the reviews

…Amy has taking my overall health into consideration and has done an incredible healing with acupuncture and cupping. Not to mention she has a warm, friendly engaging personality. I highly recommend Amy, she's superb. Thank you so much. The Center has a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Karen, Oct 2019

I cannot recommend Dr. Quinn and his practice enough. His approach to functional medicine has completely transformed my health. He took the time to understand my unique concerns—particularly around gut health and chronic inflammation—and created a personalized plan that addressed the root causes, not just the symptoms.

★★★★★ — Luke, Apr 2025

If I could give Dr. Quinn more that five stars, I would. I initially sought care from Dr. Quinn for several digestive issues, chronic pain and anxiety. My experience with Dr. Quinn and his team has truly been life changing.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jan 2023

I don’t even know where to begin with Dr. Quinn and his practice who basically saved my life. When my husband found them on the Internet, I was at one of the lowest points I had ever been. When he reached out in desperation, they found a way to work me in and my life has never been the same.

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.
