From the reviews

I had a lot of lower back pain on Sat, really tight and felt like I could not walk. Went to Kai, she worked on lower back and asked what happened. I tried to explain, but she figured it out, my back, my leg.

★★★★★ — Crummy, Jun 2023

Kai is honestly amazing. She takes her time and is very attentive to your needs. She literally went above and beyond, and even spent more time than I paid for just to make sure I was relaxed. She's also very very affordable. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment today.

I recently went twice because I was having back pain, (different source each time), and both times afterwards I felt immediate relief the day after. Very professional, skilled, and uses enough pressure to make a big difference. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Mark, Apr 2024

Kai was so helpful, and sooooo strong, like, they used 1/3rd of their power on me max and I was dying. Felt amazing after. 10/10, would recommend!

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.
