Biography
Marianna’s treatment style is gentle, collaborative, and centered on creating a safe space for healing and holistic self-care, so each patient can feel supported in living fully. Her path began in art and theatrical design before she was drawn to East Asian Medicine for its ability to honor each person as a whole, rather than a set of symptoms or conditions.
She has worked as an acupuncturist since 2018, practicing in busy clinics in both Washington, DC and Chicago.
