These treatments are done in a large room where patients rest alongside other patients. A limited intake session is performed with simplified questions to get an overview of your health history and goals. Patients are fully clothed and needled on distal points along the body. Once the needles are in, patients tend to take an acu-snooze and zone out for a while.
Sessions last from minutes. The idea is that as your body rests, it has time to heal, and the needles act as catalysts to guide the healing process to the areas it needs to go. These treatments are very focused with extensive one-on-one time between the patient and practitioner which allows for more time to talk about your health, treatment options and other avenues of healing we can explore both in the treatment room and at our homes, such as Qi Gong and Meditation.

The suction is created when a flame is placed into the upside-down cup and then quickly removed, this in effect allows for the cup to suction the area that it's placed. Cupping is used for many symptoms that range from coughing to tight muscles.
