Meet Mary: Your Expert in Holistic Healing
Her passion for mind–body medicine and holistic wellness eventually led her to acupuncture—where she found the perfect balance of scientific understanding and intuitive healing. She completed her Master of Science in Acupuncture and went on to earn her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DAc) from Pacific College of Health and Science in 2024.
Mary founded MVP Acupuncture & Wellness in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where she specializes in women’s health, including fertility support, pregnancy and postpartum care, hormonal balance, and stress-related conditions. She is also highly trained in cosmetic acupuncture, offering natural, holistic methods to enhance radiance and support healthy aging.
By weaving together her foundation in Western medical diagnostics with the wisdom of Eastern medicine, Mary offers care that is thoughtful, evidence-informed, and deeply supportive. Her mission is to help each patient feel empowered, balanced, and connected to their most vibrant self—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
