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!
…The targeted cupping was very helpful as well. The space itself is peaceful and calming too. I highly recommend The Sanctuary to anyone looking for genuine, holistic care. Thank you, Abby! cant wait for my next appointment!
…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. Then, tapering down to maintenance visits as needed. Not only does she know what she’s doing, she is the most gentle and kind person you’ll ever meet.
…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. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my pain has subsided, my stress level has decreased and felt more grounded by my last visit.
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.
