Real experiences from our community
“I recently strained my back and after 5 painful days and even a visit to urgent care, it wasn’t getting any better so I decided to try acupuncture — and I found Mari.
The day after the treatment, I was getting better and after a few visits, I’m glad to say my back is healed and I’m back to doing things I enjoy. On one visit, she treated my headache as well. Truly remarkable! I highly recommend Mari and her approach to treatment.”
— Steve K.
“Amazing acupuncturist! Mari has a wonderful bedside manner, really taking the time to connect with kindness and intuition. Mari has a way of healing that is deep and subtle, respectful, imaginative and based in concrete knowledge. I would recommend Mari to anyone, which says a lot, I have been to many healers and have had a lot of different health issues.”
— Ryan E.
This practice welcomes all people, including LGBTQ+ individuals and people of color. Healthcare can feel vulnerable, and creating a safe, respectful environment where you feel completely comfortable is a priority for me.
As someone of mixed Japanese and American heritage who identifies as queer, I bring over 20 years of experience working intentionally with diverse communities. I understand the unique health challenges and healthcare barriers that marginalized communities face, and your identity, story, and healing journey are fully respected here.
