From the reviews

It begins with the feeling of the room, the lighting, soft music, smells, warmth of the heating pad, if that’s what you like. The feeling of the tension leaving your body as Joan works her magic. She can find trouble spots without you telling her, and sometimes you weren’t aware of.

★★★★★ — Deb, Dec 2021

As a Dr of physical therapy I am highly critical of other practitioners. Joan exceeded my expectations. She has a gift for NRT. I traveled a great distance to see her and I was very pleased with the session. Her insight into the working of the neuro/fasical system is impressive.

★★★★★ — Mark, Sep 2022

I have been a client for many years. Joan is always updating her techniques, and goes above and beyond to help ease my muscle spasms and chronic painful places. I want to keep her for myself, but now the secret is out.

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.
