Marguerite has been practicing the Oriental Healing Arts since 1987, and Acupuncture in particular since 1997.

Marguerite specializes in treating not only the immediate symptoms but in addressing long-standing underlying patterns, to allow lasting improvement. Marguerite has had great success in treating not only pain conditions such as: headaches, neck pain, back pain, and tendonitis, but also enjoys success with more complicated conditions like; allergies, diabetes, smoking cessation, thyroid conditions, digestive disorders, depression, and more.

A session with Marguerite involves gentle, personalized attention using the wide variety of techniques she has to offer. Most sessions involve some “Energy Work,” creating a space of deep relaxation and opening of the meridians to receive the treatment more deeply.

Sessions frequently include nutritional discussions, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and some applied kinesiology to narrow down the sources of irritation. Needles and methods such as cupping, moxa, electrostim, cold laser are then applied. Many clients remark on Marguerite's gentle touch. Most patients leave feeling deeply relaxed, and relief of their complaints.

Always curious and eager to explore options for her clients, Marguerite has sought out training with some of the greatest teachers in the world.
