ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture points are selected based on your specific symptoms, patterns, and root imbalances. Once the needles are in, most patients feel a deep sense of calm—some even fall asleep.

Fire Cupping
-
An ancient healing technique with roots dating back to 1550 BCE, fire cupping is a powerful way to draw stagnation, tension, and inflammation to the surface—where the body can process and release it.
This therapy uses glass cups and a gentle flame to create suction on the skin, which helps:
Loosen tight muscles
Improve circulation
Calm the nervous system
Support recovery from illness or fatigue
Cupping can be especially helpful for:
✔ Chronic pain & tension
✔ Stress, anxiety & nervous system support
✔ Post-workout recovery
✔ Headaches & migraines
✔ Respiratory conditions like colds or the flu -
In Jennifer’s sessions, fire cupping is often used after warming the tissue with massage. The fire briefly enters the cup to create a vacuum, then the cup is placed directly on the skin, gently pulling the fascia and underlying tissue upward. The sensation is often described as deep pressure—not painful, but grounding and relaxing.
Cups typically stay in place for 5 to 15 minutes, and the effects can last for days—like an extended massage that continues working long after your session ends.
You may notice circular marks that fade within a few days; these are simply signs that circulation has increased in the area. Any tenderness usually resolves within 24 hours.
Healing starts here.

I will not lie and say it's painless nor can I say you will experience discomfort. I will say that it is different for each person AND it can feel different from session to session.
The more of a routine you make something like acupuncture or massage, the easier it is for you to relax sooner. I like to go into each session with some curiosity both as a patient and as a practitioner. I believe this gives us room to grow and heal- breaking free from old patterning. -
This will be specific to each person, how fast you recover, the type of issue we are working with, and how long the issue has been going on before seeking treatment.
We like to start with 8-10 treatments to fully resolve or make progress into your issue.
I like to think of this type of medicine like exercise... you can't do it once and expect results. It is an accumulation of small changes that help the body regain optimal health.
