Center and Spring Acupuncture

Maura was direct in her questions, and spot on with advise during my pregnancy induced gestational diabetes and worsening hypertension and suggestion from my doctors to induce at 37 week. Based on my medical needs she addressed both my hypertension and gestational diabetes and was able to provide my body with the first step and signals towards inducing all with acupuncture.
I went to see Maura for starting the «medically necessary high risk» labor induction process. Acupuncture was my preferred method. I was admitted to the hospital the next day, and the following day with the medical induction procedures added to the acupuncture treatment I had a successful natural childbirth with no pain medication needed. THANK YOU Maura for helping me have the beautiful childbirth experience they way I had hoped it would go.

Maura Twomey is a highly skilled and compassionate acupuncturist. Her treatment is more than just acupuncture — she discusses your total state of wellness at each visit and offers stress-​reduction advice to practice throughout the day. She is incredibly caring, understanding, and comforting — I felt completely at ease from the first visit. I 100% recommend Maura!

As a massage therapist for over 20 years, my standards are much higher than most. I have yet to find someone as knowledgeable and competent as Maura Twomey. She’s got a rare combination of caring and competence and you know right away you’re in good hands when you meet her. If you’re looking for an effecatious and meaningful treatment this really is the place to go. I live in Medford, 45 minutes away on a good day, but this is the only place I would go to when I need acupuncture. Her integrity is something that I try to emulate in my business practice.
If you’re lucky enough to be nearby then I highly recommend going to see Maura.
I’ve been recommending her for my clients for as long as I’ve known her.

Maura is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, she is compassionate and GENTLE! I am super sensitive and past experiences with other practitioners kept me from using this modality until I met Maura. It was still several years (and a health crisis) before I came to her offices. I knew she would be skilled and was prepared to be uncomfortable for the benefits… What a pleasant surprise, my sessions were powerful, but gentle… and extremely effective. I am grateful and encourage anyone with trepidation to go and experience this powerful healer.

Maura is fantastic. She is supportive and thoughtful; and she approached my back issues in new ways that were very helpful for me.
In addition to the acupuncture practice, she offered me self care stretches and exercises that were straightforward but remarkably useful — and thought about my challenges in holistic ways that many other back specialists that I had seen had failed to do.

Only one session but I was impressed and highly recommend Maura. She is a gifted oractioner with integrity and insight. She treated me and then found me a western doctor for my more «mechanical» and frustrating foot problem.

I had a great experience receiving treatment with Maura. She’s professional and very welcoming. She’s very knowledgeable in holistic health, and she helped me manage my hypothyroidism in a natural way, when all my doctor could offer me was medication. Thank you!

Maura is phenomenal. She is professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She has helped me with a number of issues from allergies to sleep issues. The space is relaxing and comfortable. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Center and Spring Acupuncture.

I went to Maura during my AC chemo treatments for breast cancer. She was wonderful at helping me understand how to manage the nausea and fatigue that comes with chemo treatment. She was holistic, educational and empathetic. If you’re looking for a space to go to acupuncture that isn’t at a major large hospital that is busy and full of people, but a small, quiet, private environment, this is where you want to come. Acupuncture during chemo was a great kindness to my body as it underwent such difficult treatment.

Maura seemed very knowledgeable about the treatment I was requesting. She exactly knew what I wanted and was very flexible in scheduling. The atmosphere is nice and calming and its a good place to relax. I saw Maura for help going through IVF treatment and the treatment was successful. This being said I can only recommend Maura for anyone looking for help with similar issues.

As soon as I met Maura, I knew she knew what was up. She was empathetic and questing all areas of my life that might be effecting me and causing the pain that had me walk through her door. I had a few session with her that were tremendously helpful. I can only image if I continued for a longer period of time what the effects would be.

I was scheduled for major abdominal surgery and a friend recommended I go to Maura to hasten post-​op recovery. When I contacted Maura she instead met with me prior to my surgery. I am so appreciative of my visits. My recovery was much faster than the doctors projected, with my scars healing up incredibly quickly. During my recovery, Maura made a huge difference to my physical and mental wellbeing.

Maura is compassionate and caring. As a newcomer to acupuncture she put me at ease and explained the process. I have noticed a great improvement after a short period of time. She is very knowledgeable about overall nutrition as well. I highly recommend her!

Maura is so thorough, caring and skilled. It was my first time going to acupuncture, and she made it very comfortable by informing me and being very supportive. The treatments helped me a lot. Lovely, calming, spotless facility. You should go to Maura!

I can’t say enough good things about Maura. I started seeing her a few years back and was able to overcome infertility issues having gone onto have two healthy pregnancies/​babies. She is a knowledgeable provider and with a passion for what she does.

I hate to give Maura a bad review, but my experience was not great here. Maura’s treatments did help my issue, but the environment was not what you expect from an acupuncture place. First, there are mutliple rooms and no white noise machines so you can hear everyone’s sessions (questions and answers and issues), which means everyone can hear yours as well. Second, Maura would place the needles and then leave me for about an hour. The first time this happened, I waited a while and then took them out myself (she was not happy with this). She told me to yell for her next time if she forgot to come get me. The second time, I yelled for her. After four or five yells, each louder than the last, and no answer from her, I got up and went to the door to get her (I didn’t take the needles out because she had told me not to). When she finally came in, she was angry that I had gotten up and some needles had fallen out on the floor. I explained what happened but she still seemed annoyed. The final thing that really put me off this place was how noisy it was. If you’re in the front room you have a semi-​busy street a few feet from your head so there is constant noise from cars, trucks, and pedestrians. There was also a lot of noise from people waiting in the hall, including laughing, yelling, and something heavy being dropped and completely jolitng me from my attempt at relaxing. When I mentioned this to Maura, she said the music she plays drowns out the noises (it didn’t at all). Again, I hate to give this review but it was not the relaxing experience I have had at other acupuncture places, nor did I ever get the feeling that she really cared about helping me or showing me any empathy. I was also always taken late and my appointments ran much longer than I was told, so it was impossible to schedule anything afterwards. I have been to places before this and after and had nothing even close to this experience.

I started going to Maura three years ago to help with Migraine headaches and period cramping. In a matter of sessions, I felt vast improvement. She is a wonderful person and healer. She is kind, caring, and a consummate professional. Maura listens, asks pointed questions to make connections, and offers advice and nutritional support.
I also sent one of my teenage students to Maura for help managing her endometriosis. She gave Maura a glowing review.
I can’t recommend her more highly!

I have been going to see Maura for acupuncture for over three years now and she is enormously helpful for anything that ails me. I credit her treatments for helping me conceive when I was worried about my fertility over 40; when I was pregnant, she helped me have an easy pregnancy with very few discomforts; now I see her twice a month for ongoing maintenance, sinus issues, curbing hunger as I work on weight loss, and overall stress reduction. She is just marvelous — she puts you right at ease, makes sure you are very comfortable, and asks very relevant questions about overall well-​being. I give her my highest recommendation for treatments of any of the conditions I mentioned and more.

I came to Centre and Spring after a not so great experience somewhere else. I was tense and needle weary after many fertility treatments and wish I could describe how effortlessly Maura put me at ease ! I instantly liked her ! In addition to the acupuncture treatments, Maura shared lots of tips and ways to improve my nutrition.
The office is incredibly clean and such a peaceful place ! It is easily accessible by bus and parking is no problem.
I highly recommend Maura and Centre & Spring Acupuncture !

I love Centre and Spring Acupuncture.
Maura is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and patient when I ask a million questions. I’ve been going to her for years– not continuously, but whenever I have something out-​of-​balance in me that I know acupuncture will help.
For example, I hadn’t been to Maura for a couple of years and went back recently because I was having such serious sugar cravings all the time and had gained weight. ONE treatment later– they were gone! Seriously, it’s like miraculous how well her acupuncture works! I also know that she does a lot of work with women having fertility issues and such– with great results. My husband has also been to her with excellent results for different kinds of work-​related nerve pain in his arms– it worked like a charm.
LOVE Maura and Centre&Spring– HIGHLY recommended!
