SHOULD
I SEE HER? YES!
According to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
traditional Chinese medicine has been proven to successfully
treat a broad range of acute and chronic medical conditions.
This has created a professional partnership between acupuncturists
and the conventional medical community as physicians refer
an increasing number of patients for treatment. Among the
numerous diseases and disorders helped using acupuncture
are:
Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Migraine and
Tension Headaches
Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia
Low Back Pain/Sciatica, Food/Seasonal
Allergies
Endometriosis, Menopause, PMS, Menstrual
Disorders, Infertility
Colds and Flu, TMJ, Asthma
Let Mari's expertise and experience support and guide you
on your personal Healing Path.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
The diagnostic process in traditional Chinese medicine involves
classical procedures of observation, listening, and questioning.
It also includes testing the quality of pulses, appearance
of the tongue, and sensitivity of body parts.
Once your condition has been evaluated in terms of traditional
Chinese medicine, Mari will review your specific concerns
and develop a treatment plan. This may include acupuncture,
remedial massage, cupping, herbal medicine, and nutrition/dietary
interventions.
The duration of each session is one hour. Depending on the
condition you may need one or two visits per week. You will
be regularly re-evaluated to determine the total number
of treatments needed.

Tuesday through Saturday
FROM MARI…
"I have immersed myself in the world of traditional
Chinese medicine for almost a decade, and continue to study
and teach every day. But the real joy from all this is when
I hear, ‘Hey, Mari, I think I’m finally feeling
better!"
