“The body is to nature as a violin is to an orchestra. The strings are to a violin as the organs are to the body. For the orchestra to play in harmony all the instruments must be tuned to each other. If a single instrument is out of tune, the whole sound is dissonance rather than in harmony.”

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese Medicine technique that utilizes the specific placement of sterile needles into acu points on the body. By increasing blood flow and relaxing the nervous system, acupuncture is able to balance disharmonies that exist in the body that relate to disease, pain, and stress. .
Essential Oils
Essential oils are glorious smelling concentrated flower and plant material. When inhaled through the nose or olfactory system, they have the ability to impact the area of the brain that participates in modulating the emotions. Oils can be used during a session as a sensory experience or can be used on acupuncture points themselves.
Cupping
Cupping is a Chinese Medicine tool used to help clear toxins from the upper layers of the skin, muscle and fascia. Using suction, or negative pressure, the cups will increase circulation, pull lactic acid out of the muscle tissue, and create greater mobility and ease tension.
What People Are Saying
“I have been going to Mary Pat for over 9 years, after referral by my acupuncturist in Evanston. Mary Pat is knowledgeable and skilled, and has helped me through a variety of pain episodes as well as routine wellness. She's also delightful! I recommend her most highly!”

“Mary Pat has a wonderful approach to healing; she's helped me a great deal over the past 6 years with various imbalances, primarily focusing on my fertility issues (I now have 2 children & am soon to have 2 more, so clearly she's effective). If you are reluctant to try acupuncture, please meet with her as she is very gentle and easy to talk with..”
