Mary is a highly qualified, educated, intuitive and communicative professional therapist trained in both Western and Eastern methodologies and modalities. The space is in Asheville, yet feels a get away in the countryside. Her treatments are tailor made to your needs and comforts, and she is very generous in offering multiple treatments simultaneously. A true gem. You will not be disappointed with your acupuncture or massage treatment!

As an overactive senior, I have been using Mary's various modalities for years. Her overall knowledge is impressive in all areas of relieving pain and massage therapy. Her willingness to work with a sliding scale is a plus for those on a limited budget.

I’m a massage therapist and always look for a therapist who can do what I do. I have definitely found that with Mary. She gets to the root of the problem to give you the relief you need. Thank you Mary for helping me with the chronic issues I’ve had with my elbow and wrist from over use! I look forward to scheduling my next session soon.
