She is a graduate of Tri-State College of Acupuncture ‘s three-year Master’s of Science in Acupuncture program.

What people are saying

Aging gracefully is so important to me and I’ve been reading about all the benefits of this kind of treatment. I left de-puffed and absolutely glowing. I felt so PROUD of my face and skin....What I realized after was that my body was also calmer and I was thinking more clearly. Mary is so aware of everything - the vibe, the music, my comfort - and she’s such an angel. My face and spirit needed this!

I was out in the Hamptons and saw all of my friends and they all said I looked amazing and young and wondering how much Botox I’d gotten lol. Thank YOU!! Cosmetic acupuncture for the win!!!!!
— Erin
Not only did Mary’s treatment make me glow and look less puffy, but she literally HEALED my TMJ! I went in with throbbing pain in my jaw and left with it completely gone! She spent time with me thoroughly teaching me how to use the Gua Sha tool so I can use here technique at home. I am officially a believer & will regularly be getting her treatments!
— Stephanie D.
Prior to visiting Mary, I never really focussed on or really considered the muscles on my face, jaw, and décolletage. Not only did she help to alleviate a lot of puffiness through lymphatic drainage, she thought me how to self treat on a daily basis to help counteract some of the stress and anxiety I was unknowingly wearing on my face.
