From the reviews

…The cupping and body work left my tight spine feeling like jelly, AND I slept 11 hours after my session. So grateful to find Thrive on my 6 week trip in Norfolk. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Cree, Feb 2025

Highly recommend their services!! Dr. Amanda really helped my wife with her dizziness. It is now completely gone. They also offer top quality supplements!

★★★★★ — Richard, Nov 2025

Dr. Amanda and I met for our first consultation this afternoon. I was impressed by her ability to make one comfortable, as this is all new to me. She did not leave me feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. (This is my first time and wasn’t sure what to expect.) She is extremely knowledgeable in her expertise.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Jun 2026

Dr. Amanda treated me for several months at another practice a year or two ago. Fast forward to now- I needed to get back in for treatment and after a little looking around, found that Dr. Amanda AND Sarah the office manager started Thrive.

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.
