From the reviews

I’ve been visiting Water Lilly Wellness in Medford for a month now, seeing Ariel Stimson for acupuncture and cupping. I cannot express enough how transformative this experience has been. Ariel is truly exceptional at her craft.

★★★★★ — Yosof, Jul 2024

Ariel gave me acupuncture and cupping and it was a great experience! She was very informative about everything that was happening during the whole project and paid attention to my specific needs. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs these services!

★★★★★ — Alyssa, Jan 2025

Kathia's acupuncture has helped me with multiple muscle issues, and I can always feel the results in real time. She uses a variety of tools and practices (needles, cupping, massage), and refuses to give up on my tight muscles! Her small practice is welcoming and covid-safe, and Kathia is a joy to be around.

★★★★★ — Cara, Feb 2021

I started seeing Lace for neuropathy, and I’ve already noticed improvements — not just with the neuropathy, but also my IBS, menstrual cramps, and back/neck pain. They listen closely to my needs and concerns, collaborate on a plan with me, and walk me through every step.

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.
