From the reviews

…She has been great, and not only did the treatment include cupping and acupuncture, I felt that in general my wellbeing improved over the course of the time I've been seeing her. KIm has a friendly and down to earth demeanor, and she is willing to answer newbie questions about Chinese medicines and treatments.

★★★★★ — Dave, Aug 2025

I highly recommend Dr. Kim Wu for acupuncture and cupping. She is extremely knowledgable, kind, and effective. She has helped promote healing and relaxation in my body. She is thorough, detailed, and collaborative. Plus she is friendly and creates a great atmosphere to relax. Thanks, Kim!

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.
