Your Access Acupuncture

Mary Morrison came to acupuncture as a second career, and the passion she brings to it shines through. Mary’s tagline is «We listen, we treat, you heal,» and this perfectly sums up her approach. She starts every session by checking in with you about what’s working in your life, and she gently corrects you if you talk about yourself and your body as if they were two different things. She also points out if any of the language that you are using about your life is disempowering, like when I told her I was «under a lot of pressure» at work. In other words, Mary’s approach is not only physically holistic (relating to the body as a system, not a collection of organ systems) but completely holistic, integrating thoughts, words, emotions, and physical phenomena. She has even helped me improve my relationship with a loved one who is treating cancer with a different treatment method than I would choose.
Mary has the latest training and uses all the traditional Chinese medicine modalities – acupuncture, herbs, cupping, tongue analysis, pulse analysis, and moxibustion. I leave every session much more relaxed and funnier. One of the issues I went in to see her for – tummy fat that I could not shed due to compulsive overeating – has been partially resolved. The tummy fat is gone, although I still at times overeat compulsively, a problem that is decades in the making. The other – digestive distress – is also improving, though Mary has pointed out that my sensitivity is a gift (because it provides information on how things affect me) and not something to be fixed.
I will continue to see Mary regularly to help my body/​mind/​self function at its best. She is not only very professional but also very giving. You will be glad if you put yourself in her caring, able hands.

Mary has a wonderfully calming way about her and is a natural healer. I’ve been to other acupuncturists but have been seeing Mary since 2013. Previously, acupuncture sometimes helped me but often didn’t. With Mary every treatment brings about some positive change, often a large one. I go as regularly as I can to treat symptoms of perimenopause and stress. At one point I had a bout of nearly debilitating anxiety — so bad that I started talking to my regular doctor about medication. After only 2 treatments this went away and never returned.
Mary is not stingy with her needle treatments. She asks a lot of questions to fine tune her initial approach in each needle session, often resulting in multiple treatments per session. I feel that Mary has a talent for healing that can’t be taught. I’m very glad that she chose to become an acupuncturist, and I highly recommend a visit to Your Access Acupuncture.

I cannot say enough good things about Mary Morrison. She is a life saver.
In May of last year, I was experiencing debilitating menstrual cycles. Multiple doctors visits concluded that I had an ovarian cyst that could not be operated on. The «best» advice I received was to enter medical menopause — which would just be swapping out symptoms and pain.
In desperation, I decided to try Mary, although I was a bit skeptical of acupuncture. In a matter of four sessions, my pain went from 8 – 10 during menstruation, to 2 – 3. I haven’t had the pain return either! I continue to follow up with her, because she is fantastic.
She is calming and patient with you, and the whole experience feels like an indulgent massage. She is the best — get an appointment NOW! :)

I was skeptical of acupuncture at first, especially since the first acupuncturist I tried wasn’t very good. However, Mary truly knows what she is doing. She helps you identify what’s bothering you, and is able to help you release those feelings, whether physical or emotional. After each session I feel relaxed and clear headed. She is a great listener and really makes you feel like you are doing «good work» on yourself. My sessions with her give me confidence and the piece of mind I need to get me through each day. I feel like I’m more in-​tune with my body now that I use acupuncture.

I was a little apprehensive the first time I came here. Not because I do not believe in alternative healing (I certainly do!), but because I was afraid of being stuck with hundreds of needles. Well, my apprehension disappeared after the first few minutes. Mary is wonderful. For those who have never had acupuncture, the first half or so of the appointment is like a therapy session and the second part involves the needles. Once you’ve identified some of the issues (for me, it was recent hip discomfort that initially brought me in), the needles activate your body’s healing ability and help to purge you of the extraneous things that make you feel unlike yourself. Mary is very forthcoming about when she is about to put a needle in, so there are no surprises (she inserts on your exhalation). There is very little pain when the needle goes in and any discomfort disappears immediately. Mary leaves the room and lets the needles do their work for 10 — 15 minutes. The best part of the experience is how relaxed and present I feel after the session. I feel like my natural self, not the stress and anxiety-​laden person I become during a hectic week. Mary recommends doing 8 sessions to start with the option of returning for more sessions when something arises. I can’t imagine not doing acupuncture on a regular basis though. By the way, I’ve not had a recurrence of the hip discomfort that initially got me into acupuncture. Mary is amazing and I highly recommend her.

Mary not only attacks your ailments at the root cause through acupuncture, she’s also a phenomenal listener! I can’t wait for my acupuncture sessions with Mary. I am challenged by Mary to be ‘myself’ with her and the rest of the world. To express myself and to be a healer for myself and others. There’s a reason why this medicine is 3000 years old and still a widely used method to treat ailments! You won’t know what you’re missing out on until you give it a try!

I have been seeing Mary for almost year and have benefitted greatly from her treatments. The most amazing aspect of her practice is that she LISTENS then formulates a treatment plan.
It is not about a sore this or that but rather a whole body approach that elevates her practice! If you want to leave in wellness, then see Mary!

Mary is a gifted healer. She is very intuitive and often sees what I need when I cannot. I came seeking help with stress and sleep, and ended up with so much more. Not only am I sleeping better and less stressed, but I have also dealt with some underlying emotional issues thanks to Mary’s coaching and healing. I feel so much more centered and grounded thanks to my treatments.

I love going to acupuncture! I went from having knee pain of an 8 out of 10 level of pain– and went to a 0. I feel GREAT!
She is really a miracle worker! This really works…

Mary’s a super healer! She’s a great listener, very kind, and very willing to go the extra mile to help. The best part about acupuncture with her is that she has a very holistic approach. She really educates you on how Chinese medicine and an Eastern outlook can give you tools to improve your life.
