​In addition to being an Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist, Marie is a LifeForce: Tao of Medical Qigong practitioner and has success treating pain in children and adults with this modality. She continues to study Traditional Chinese Medicine and Wu Ming Qigong under the guidance of her mentor, Grand Master Nan Lu, founding President of Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation in NYC.

​

She is a certified instructor of Dragon’s Way Qigong®, a 6-week wellness program created and taught by Master Lu in New York City. She also has permission to share the Breast Health practice and teach his foundational Wu Ming Qigong practice called 3Es: Energy, Everybody, Everyday. 

​

​Marie’s journey towards becoming an acupuncturist and studying Chinese medicine began while living in New York City during her mid-20s and working in financial services. She sought a remedy for monthly migraine headaches and began seeing Master Lu for acupuncture. He also prescribed Chinese Herbs and almost immediately she noticed a difference. Soon she became fascinated by all things Chinese Medicine. She looked forward to reading Master Lu's TCM articles in the waiting room and began sharing her passion with friends and family by giving them insights into their health and feeling their pulses diagnostically. Soon after, life presented her with an opportunity to follow her true passion and switch careers. Instead of pursuing an MBA Marie took a leap of faith and the rest is history. 

​

When she is not helping clients recharge, she is practicing Qigong under her mimosa tree, traveling, cooking, or spending time with her children.
