From the reviews

Had my first fire cupping session with Abby at Sanctuary. The treatment room had a pleasant ethereal charm and the cupping experience was first class. They offer acupuncture also. Affordable and clean, highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Alex, Aug 2025

I had an amazing experience at The Sanctuary! I came in because of nerve issues in my back and arm, and left feeling completely relaxed and better. Abby is the owner and acupuncturist, and is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive.

★★★★★ — Vincent, May 2025

Abby is a life saver! She has been treating me for over 4 years for radiating pain and numbness due to cervical stenosis and pinched nerves. I received both acupuncture and cupping. She got me through the most severe pain I have ever had… without using medications!! At 1st with visits 2-3times a week.

★★★★★ — Julie, Dec 2025

My experience with Abby Cooper of The Sanctuary is nothing short of amazing. She is welcoming, warm and genuinely focused on my needs. I also tried cupping for the first time at The Sanctuary and was pleasantly surprised, after a couple of cupping sessions I felt the difference.

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.
