From the reviews

This acupuncturist is AMAZING! I was visiting from out of town and needed some acupuncture. As an acupuncturist myself I love connecting with other professionals. John, the founder and lead acupuncturist did not disapooint.

I’ve done 5 sessions with John so far to address some chronic arm pain from laptop and phone use. John has been thorough, attentive and so effective at identifying the root cause of my pain and I’ve been relieved to experience painless days for the first time in years!

★★★★★ — Bill, Feb 2026

I made an appoiment witt John around June 2025 for neck spasms and headaches on my right temple. These were new symptoms for me. I hace suffered from regular headaches almost all of my life. My new symptoms were worrisome for me so I reached out to White Magnolia for alternative therapy.

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.
