cupping therapy treatment or add-on:

In-person. May be used as a stand-alone session OR an add-on to acupuncture or massage therapy sessions.

This includes cupping therapy on any desired or advised parts of the body.

Cupping therapy involves massage oil (in most cases) and requires direct access to bare skin. You may wear a bathing suit, shorts, or other pieces of clothing you are comfortable with for direct skin accessibility while the rest of your body will remain covered with a sheet.

Cupping therapy can typically be done on the back, neck, upper chest, abdomen, thighs, calves, forearms, arms, and face. It cannot be done on bony or excessively hairy areas due to the lack of suction over those areas. If you do have excessive body hair and still wish to get cupping done, please prepare the skin area prior to your appointment. Other therapies such as gua sha or massage may be advised instead as a replacement.

Temporary skin discoloration, ranging from pink to dark purple, may occur and last anywhere from 1-7 days depending on the person.

gua sha therapy treatment or add-on:

In-person. May be used as a stand-alone session OR an add-on to acupuncture or massage therapy sessions.

This includes gua sha therapy on any desired or advised parts of the body.

Gua sha therapy may involve massage oil and requires direct access to bare skin (except for scalp). You may wear a bathing suit, shorts, or other pieces of clothing you are comfortable with for direct skin accessibility while the rest of your body will remain covered with a sheet.

Gua sha therapy can typically be done over any part of the body, scalp, and face. It is not recommended to be done on bony areas, and note that excessively hairy body areas may be impacted by hair pulling and knotting, although special care can be taken to minimize discomfort. Other therapies such as cupping or massage may be done instead as a replacement if advised.

Temporary skin discoloration, ranging from pink to dark purple, may occur and last anywhere from 1-7 days depending on the person.
