Maria has traveled through Asia, where she mastered ear, face, and body reading to diagnose diseases. Maria has developed a unique combination of pain treatment methods based on traditional Chinese and Japanese acupuncture. Her main goal is to help patients to return to health and vitality. She is using traditional healing modalities obtained in her travels to relieve pain and suffering and enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

As an acupuncturist and hypnotherapist, my goal is to act as a catalyst for positive change in every patient. I specialize in a unique treatment that I refer to as "hypnoacupuncture," which is a combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Combining the power of hypnosis with acupuncture has proven to create treatments that are effective on all levels: physical, mental, and emotional. Many patients describe these sessions as life-altering, and find them to be more deeply relaxing than anything they have ever experienced before. I treat many patients for weight-loss and smoking cessation, but I have found that these combination sessions of hypnosis and acupuncture can benefit endless issues, including depression, anxiety, and insomnia. At Healing Point Therapeutics, my mission is to have every patient leave the treatment table prepared to reach their highest potential in health and well-being.
