Marisa takes time to truly take a WHOLE-istic approach in support of her patients well being. She has supported my acupuncture care through stress, diet, right knee injury, optimizing my feminine health and so much more for almost 2 years now. She actually takes the time to listen and get to know her patients. You need to be invested in your health outside of your sessions with her, taking her suggestions and shifting to optimize your body. Her knowledge, care, empathy and love for the practice makes her an amazing practitioner.

I have been seeing Marisa for over a year and it has been an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone. Marisa is so genuine. She takes the time to listen and understand your physical, mental, and emotional state in order to tailor treatment with acupuncture, herbs, and supplements to meet your needs. She helped me through various stages of change and adjustment in my body all the way through to my pregnancy and I couldn’t be more grateful for her work.

Marisa is far and above the best investment I have ever made in my own wellbeing. I have been seeing her weekly since July of 2021 and since then she has helped me tackle so much within the sphere of my mental and emotional health, in addition to working to guide me through finding relief and answers for what I'm feeling in my physical body - even in situations where I have been failed by other healthcare providers because they didn't take the time to individualize and go beyond generalizations for symptoms or care. Marisa actively listens, genuinely cares and treats based both on her extensive expertise and what I tell her I am experiencing. She is always eager to share her knowledge, will look for what she doesn't have answers for and is open to sharing and exploring with you. The benefits I get from seeing her and soaking in her knowledge extend far beyond the time I spend in the room with her during my appointments (although that time is what I look forward to most each week!). I have been able to use what she has shared with me to impact how I move through my life daily and to better advocate for myself with other healthcare providers. I really cannot overstate the overall difference I see in my wellness between now and when I started with her - which keeps me excited for the continued growth. Marisa is truly gifted at what she does and her ability to hold space and validate the experiences of an individual in her care is unmatched. I am so grateful that I get to work with her! If you haven't seen her yet, REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT - you will be so thankful you did.

Marisa has helped me in and out of her practice for about a year and a half now treating me for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and some sports related pain. She cares so deeply about her patients and really takes the time for the care that you need. What I love about Marisa is the endless supply of education through her social media and personalized treatment sessions. I’m thankful to have her as a trusting and caring provider.

I absolutely love going to my acupuncture sessions with Marisa. I was suffering from lower back pain due to stress, and ever since I started going it has completely subsided. Marissa is so wonderful at what she does. She cares and understands her patients needs to a deeper level. I’ve never felt this comfortable with a health professional before. She has truly healed my body, and I am so ever thankful.

I couldn't say enough good things about the time I have spent with Marisa. She is extremely knowledgeable. I initially went for an overall wellness check and I am grateful that it has turned into so much more. Marisa's intuitive and intellectual approach helps guide your visits to places you may not have expected and continues to evolve based on your current needs. I have seen such huge changes that I couldn't help but share and suggest her to friends/family for anything and everything. In addition, her custom herb blends are amazing!

Marisa is the absolute best acupuncturist, physician and human around. I've been working with Marisa for the last year for a variety of ailments, and every time I have come to the office Marisa has taken the time to sit down and talk to me about my week, my symptoms, and what I would like to focus on. She is very attentive and aware of the changes from week to week and knows how to address those progressions. Marisa's role as a practitioner doesn't end when you leave the office, if she has something that she finds or that reminds her of you, she will go out of her way to text you whatever info she can find. After a year of mental health issues, hormonal & GI issues, that were being treated by traditional doctors and had not seen full recovery, Marisa recommended I take a celiac test. Thanks to her, I found out that I am celiac positive and have a new course of treatment. Without Marisa, it could have taken years to discover. Thank you Marisa for everything that you do and for putting your heart into each of your patients <3

Marisa is an angel. With her I feel comfortable to be myself and to talk about everything, and she truly puts her heart in all the things she does because she really cares. She listens very carefully and she never judges. I suggest her so so much.

2022-01-31T14:15:41.204Z

Let this be your sign to go see her if you’ve been considering it! I experienced debilitating symptoms a few months ago and after countless doctor/er visits I felt like I needed someone that would listen— to help me approach healing in a natural, holistic manner. After much thought and prayer, I reached out to Marisa and she welcomed me with open arms. From the very first session, she made me feel safe and supported. Her knowledge and understanding of TCM/Acupuncture is incredible. Healing isn’t linear, there’s root causes to what goes on in the mind and body. I’ve learned this from her and trust her advice wholeheartedly. She made an herbal tea blend just for me that’ll help address the following over time: anxiety, heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, headaches, upper back pain, and tachycardia/arrhythmia. I can see it’s making a difference, and for that I’m forever thankful. I see her weekly for acupuncture, every session leaves me feeling like I’m headed in the right direction. Having Marisa as part of my healing journey couldn’t be more of a God-sent gift. This is your sign, go see her!! :)

I’m a big believer in natural remedies before pharma. I have been using accupunture for years to help both physically and mentally. My previous acupuncturist moved to France. Good for her, not so much for those of us who had been seeing her. The search for a new practitioner started off slowly. I had to search for someone I could talk to, or more realistically, someone I’d be willing to talk to. I tried a few practices that were good with needles, but not with people. And then I found Marisa. 💜💜💜 She is a genuine, kind lady. She listens and she cares. She treats what needs treatment that day and that visit, because our body has different needs every day. I feel so muc more calm and less stressed when I leave AND she helps my low back sciatica crapola. I won’t go on too much more, I’ll never be able to get an appointment 😆. She is the best. Highly recommended. ☮️💙🌈

I have been seeing Marisa weekly for almost 2 years now, and she has changed my life. When I first discovered Manipura Acupuncture I had a lot going on mentally and physically with my health, and was quite honestly a disaster. I was dealing with ptsd, severe depression, and processing grief. At the same time my allergies that I’d struggled with since I was a kid were through the roof and I was having a lot of stomach problems. Within weeks of treatment I was noticing major differences in how I felt emotionally and physically. From the moment I met Marisa I knew I made the right choice in acupuncturists; She is such a genuine person, taking the time to fully assess and understand you, mind, body, and spirit. At Manipura Acupuncture and Holistic Healthcare it’s not just about “making you better”, it’s about educating you on how and why you are getting better. Every aspect of treatment is fully described and you start to learn so much about your body. After experiencing so much positive change in my life and health through acupuncture, I decided I wanted to start living a more holistic lifestyle. Marisa has supported me emotionally and physically in coming off of birth control, stabilizing my hormones, eliminating meat from my diet, transitioning to no pain or allergy medications as well as no more antibiotics. She is not only a phenomenal acupuncturist but also an herbalist! Her herbal supplementations combined with the acupuncture have supported me in detoxing from years of antibiotics, strengthening my gut health, stabilizing my mood, providing me with necessary minerals and vitamins lacking in my diet, strengthening my immune system, easing my emotions in times of high stress and deep depression, and so much more! I can’t tell you how many times I have texted Marisa randomly to ask questions about my health or emotions and she always responds, willing to help at any time. She has called me after hours many times to check in on me and help me understand things I had been going through. Almost 2 years later and my allergies are at a very minimum, only flaring up with seasonal changes here and there, my hormones are finally starting to balance out, my skin has cleared up, the gluten allergy I have that was once so severe has become just a small sensitivity, I have fought off many infections, viruses, and bugs with no medication, taken no pain meds in 2 years, successfully made it through post birth control side affects, and I emotionally transformed into a person that I am so proud to be. Marisa has supported me through many traumatic experiences over the past 2 years with patience, compassion, and total love for what she does. She is my life saver, I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through so much over the past years without her! I cannot say enough great things about Manipura Acupuncture and Holistic Healthcare. Look no further, you have found the best!

Marisa has done more for my health and education in the year that I have been working for her than any other provider has in my life! I only wish I found her sooner. Without Marisa I would likely still be walking around with an undiagnosed autoimmune condition. She has helped me stabilize my cholesterol, white blood cell count, and liver numbers. She listens and cares and is extremely knowledgeable! If you are not seeing her you are missing out!

2022-01-28T18:23:54.645Z

Dr. Marisa is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful in many forms. If looking for a holistic approach, Marisa is the BEST!

2022-01-28T18:19:22.407Z

Highly recommend! Had lower back pain and sciatica issues for years and after a few sessions all pain has subsided. If you haven’t tried acupuncture, I believe you should give Marisa at Manipura a few sessions whether is physical pain or other Health concerns.

2022-01-28T18:15:48.894Z

Marisa is nothing short amazing. Every time I leave a session I feel completely renewed! I always recommend her to my friends and family, even for general overall wellness. She has helped me in more ways than one! I don’t even go to my primary physician anymore. She is my go to! ❤️ Her space has become my safe space and I will always be grateful for that! 10/10 recommend.

2021-05-04T18:11:08.433Z

Marisa has become a staple in my healing toolbox. Her gentle, masterful, and patient delivery and execution of TCM practices keeps me entering her room with confidence, and leaving a treatment at peace. I began treatment with her to mediate chronic shoulder pain...within the span of just a few treatments my shoulder was pain free, and I felt AMAZING. I continue to see her weekly for maintenance and general well-being. I could go on forever about Marisa, and the benefits I have experienced from her treatments - I would highly recommend her to anyone coping with physical injuries, or seeking deeper energetic healing.

2020-12-03T05:10:00.123Z

Could not be more thankful to Dr. Marisa she has truly helped me in so many ways. I started coming to her for my anxiety issues and I would just leave like I was walking on clouds. After a few sessions I learned that she could help me with my terrible period problems, and I could not be more grateful. She had overall improved my physical and mental health. And she is so sweet and gentle, so grateful to have found her!

2020-12-02T13:29:36.294Z

I used to be skeptical about acupuncture - after treatment from Marisa to combat MULTIPLE issues (post-accident pain and trauma, anxiety, digestive issues, bloating, hormonal water retention, etc) I am I BELIEVER. Marisa takes the time to really get to know and understand every patient. Her dedication to understanding the root of issues is well beyond evident within minutes of stepping into an appointment with her. She is truthfully one of the most empathetic people and healer I’ve ever met in my life. I wish I could give her 100 stars instead of just 5.

2020-11-27T17:41:57.368Z

Acupuncture can be a very intimidating thing to do and as a first timer a month ago I took the leap and my life has changed for the better. Marisa listened to my concerns and what I was looking for. It has been nothing but a blessing. She listens, suggest, and supports you in what you need so you can become your best self. There is so much to offer at this center and I have nothing but good things to say about this experience. I highly suggest Manipura Acupuncture + Holistic Healthcare!

2020-11-25T00:35:19.688Z

I started going to Marisa for back pain I've had for over a year. Her first session allowed me to have relief for weeks after and I've now made my third appointment with her. Her bedside manner is incredible, better than anyone I've ever been to. She takes her time to get to know you before starting treatment, which I really love. She also explains the methodology behind what she's doing so you can better understand the process. I would highly recommend Marisa to anybody thinking about acupuncture.

2020-11-24T18:39:21.686Z

I received fantastic care from Marisa over a long period. I think the most important thing I’ve noticed is her unwillingness to let a question go unanswered. If she doesn’t know on the spot she will absolutely find out and get back to you. She has a fantastic bedside manner and truly understands the wellness journey and will travel it with you. I highly recommend Marisa and Manipura and would send friends and family there confident they will receive the highest level of care.
