From the reviews

The Mend and all the staff are truly a dream! Melissa and Emily are my go to providers. Both have been incredible in helping me through physical concerns and high stress emotional seasons of life for the last few years.

★★★★★ — Emily, Feb 2026

I’ve been working with Rebecca for over a year, and I can’t fully express how impactful her care has been on my overall health. She takes an incredibly holistic, detail‑oriented approach and helped diagnose a chronic illness that had been affecting me for years—something many specialists were unable to identify.

★★★★★ — Frannie, Apr 2026

I cannot recommend The Mend highly enough. Rebecca is an incredible practitioner—her skill, compassion, and deep knowledge have made such a difference in my life. She’s played a critical role in helping me manage and improve a variety of chronic health issues, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in.

★★★★★ — Lindsey, Aug 2025

Melissa has been helping me for a few months now. We work collaboratively to address both nervous system and physical concerns. I always feel safe, comfortable, and heard when I’m here.

★★★★★ — Alex, Jul 2024

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.
