Testimonials

“I came to Marilyn with health problems conventional clinicians had told me they could do nothing about. After only a few sessions, these have resolved and I feel healthier than I have in years. At each visit, Marilyn attends to my health concerns with care and insight. Acupuncture has exceeded my expectations and Marilyn is a gem. I highly recommend her.”

Tali, Cambridge

“I initially contacted Marilyn about acupuncture as a last resort, thinking that it couldn’t make my chronic pain (migraines, fibromyalgia) any worse – though being very needle-phobic, I was concerned I might not be able to sit still for a treatment. Not only did seeing Marilyn allow me to have pain-free days, it significantly reduced the frequency & severity of my symptoms and drastically improved my quality of life. Instead of a last resort, acupuncture has become my go-to solution for anything from irregular menstrual cycles to a head cold. In addition, the needles are so tiny, I wasn’t bothered by them the way I am at the doctor’s office, which was a huge relief.”

Adrian, Jamaica Plain

“I believe Marilyn was a crucial part of my recent successful IVF cycle. Two months before, I had been told I had poor oocyte quality. My doctor said I should consider donor eggs. Two months of acupuncture with Marilyn, and I had perfect eggs, where seven out of nine retrieved eggs fertilized. I am now fourteen weeks pregnant from that cycle. I know Marilyn’s warmth, expertise, and skill played a large part in improving my egg quality and preparing my body to be receptive to a pregnancy.”

SK, Cambridge

“I worked with Marilyn during the darkest and most difficult period of my life. I was physically ill and emotionally fragmented, terrified, and beyond vulnerable. Marilyn was patient, generous, deeply compassionate, humble, curious, and willing to collaborate with me so that I felt safe and comfortable during the treatments. She listens with her ears and her hands and her intuition, and on her table I tasted a sense of deep rest and healing that I hadn’t felt in years. I am extremely grateful to her and her gifts.”
