Testimonials

Camille Szilagyi
I had an incredible cupping and acupuncture session with Mary! My mobility has improved and I’ve been sleeping better after one visit. She listened intently to my concerns and gave great suggestions for after care. I will be going back because I know I will benefit from her wisdom long term.

It has been my extreme pleasure to know, and been a patient of Mary BP’s for several years. I received her name from a colleague while discussing various aches and pains related to martial arts and aging. Mary's name came up in relation to a chronic hip and back issue, as well as a lingering fatigue problem. I liked her energy immediately upon meeting her and found her acupuncture technique both knowledgeable and effective. I later came to appreciate her extensive experience in herbal treatments.
