“I have had acupuncture before,Marisa was much more effective. She took care of chronic pain in my neck and numbness in toes and hands that nobody else was successful in treating. I also go to a chiropractor that helps for other issues, he could not help in the same way that Marisa’s treatments of acupuncture and cupping did.
She sees my time as valuable too and never makes me wait.
We connected immediately, on the same page about healthy mind , body and spirit. Highly recommend ”

“Marisa has been so helpful at getting me through pregnancy symptoms! From back pain and carpal tunnel to rhinitis and nausea, she has relieved so many of my symptoms! Highly recommend her for pregnant mamas, postpartum, and overall health! She is also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to living more holistically. She’s the best! ”

Prior to her clinical training, Marisa worked for many years caring for children as a nanny and as a teaching assistant in a preschool for children with special needs.

Marissa is fantastic! Upon your first appointment she takes a solid 20 minutes to get to know you, your pain, diet, exercise and pin point what areas to work. I’ve felt much more relaxed and loosened since seeing her in my back and neck. Also working on digestion has been great!

Marisa was an amazing healer. She made me feel very comfortable and taken care of during my very first acupuncture sessions. The treatment completely healed my pregnancy leg cramps, and seriously improved my acute on chronic back pain (I was at a point of barely being able to put on my shoes, and pain improved to a manageable state all the way until my due date). I would definitely recommend acupuncture to a friend, but I would specifically recommend Marisa for her tender care!

Marissa is such a blessing!! She has an amazing personality that sets you at ease and helps people that may be afraid of needles and talks them through the benefits of acupuncture. She goes above and beyond and would highly recommend her!!

Marisa is truly passionate about healing and helping individuals get the most out of acupuncture. I received acupuncture from here in the last several weeks of my pregnancy (I wish I had seen her earlier!). I felt calm, supported, and listened to during each session. Marisa is both a professional and someone who makes it feel like you’re amongst a close friend when you lay down for a session. I highly recommend Marisa for acupuncture and as a source of wisdom for other healing modalities.

Marisa was so great! She was extremely caring, kind and listened to my needs. I went to her at 39 weeks pregnant in the hopes of getting things moving to avoid going way past my due date and having to be induced. Sure enough, about 48 hours after our session, I went into labor naturally! Can't thank her enough... I will definitely go back for other treatments in the future as well.
