From the reviews

…The massage, needles and cupping all contributed to my improved condition. The first visit didn't net any major improvements but after the 2nd visit things started improving. If you're looking for an alternative to medication give acupuncture a try. Whether you have insurance or not the cost is reasonable.

★★★★★ — Cynthia, Mar 2024

I highly recommend Michelle and wish I had started seeing her years ago!! Before I became her client, I was not feeling hopeful. When I would seek help from a doctor/western medicine, I would be told that the way I feel is lifelong and all I can do is take a drug to numb the pain.

★★★★★ — Megan, Sep 2024

I have had three treatments on my leg. I had hip pain and pain radiating down my leg past the knee. Now I can go up and down stairs pain free. Michele is very professional and knowledgeable. She is patient and kind

★★★★★ — Elissa, Jul 2025

I've been seeing Michelle for over a year to address lingering symptoms from vertigo and early symptoms of perimenopause. She is so detailed when it comes to wanting to understand the big picture and root cause of issues - I can't say enough about her process and attention.

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.
