From the reviews

…A week after my stitches came out the scar was very raised and still bruised so we have added a few extra 30min light therapy sessions and after the first one I noticed a big difference. I’ve had 4 now since the surgery and the cells are healing themselves at an incredible rate.

★★★★★ — Anne, Feb 2025

…I cannot emphasize enough how much I love working with Brenna and look forward to many more sessions in the future with more hand/foot treatments, cupping, neural re-alignment, and all of the services offered. Thank you, Brenna!

★★★★★ — Sarah, Mar 2023

…Breanna used a combination of special oils, cupping, and a variety of massage techniques that addressed my specific needs. I have been struggling with long-term injuries, and she skillfully worked on those areas, bringing much-needed relief.

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.
