“Not only did these treatments heal the sciatica pain I first came to her for, but also completely reset my body—nervous system, energy and spirit.”

From the reviews

I had fallen and sustained a concussion along with whiplash. It happened on a Sunday evening and by Monday night I had very little ROM and couldn’t sleep because of the pain. I was able to make an appointment on Tuesday with Dane. He did some work on some areas that were very tight along with the acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Kay, Aug 2023

Veteran Sanctuary is my happy place—the place where my body found true healing and my soul simultaneously finds rest and recharge. I saw Takhinsha throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, and she is truly gifted. She works with deep intuition and grounded skill.

★★★★★ — Katie, Jan 2026

I saw Takhinsha for a prenatal/labor prep appointment and it was amazing! She did a combination of massage, cupping, acupuncture and moxibustion to prepare my body for labor and birth. It all felt wonderful, Takhinsha has such a calming spirit, and even the music was perfect.

★★★★★ — Alyssa, Sep 2025

We highly recommend Veteran Sanctuary. Our staff has seen a noticeable improvement in their physical health from the services provided. From acupuncture to cupping, each treatment is personalized to fit individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

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.
