From the reviews

Finally a sigh of relief and relaxation I haven’t felt in 2+ months. A pain on the left side my neck radiating down left side of body. ??? pinched nerve tightness in muscle ( I am a LMT licensed massage therapist) and drive quite a bit.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Feb 2025

Dr. Courtney at Willow + Elm has been a true anchor in my life over the past year. From stubborn GI issues to stress reduction, sports injuries & chronic pain management, and even the occasional cold — she has helped me through it all with knowledge, care, and a grounded presence that makes you feel like you’re truly…

★★★★★ — Eric, Apr 2025

I’ve been seeing Dr. Courtney since starting cancer treatment in 2021. From chemo side effects to surgery pain, and menopause symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia and brain fog to achy joints and muscles, I always feel better after seeing Dr. Courtney. It’s like a little spa moment that stays with me for days or more.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Feb 2024

Dr. Courtney is simply AMAZING. She is kind, caring, empathetic, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I trust her completely with my complex medical needs. I had acupuncture and cupping done and I felt comfortable the whole time.

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.
