Meet Marie Gonzales, L.Ac.

Marie Gonzales is medically trained and a licensed acupuncturist. She attended the distinguished Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City, NY — one of the oldest acupuncture schools in the United States, offering rigorous hands-on training in three styles of acupuncture and several complementary modalities. After obtaining a baccalaureate, Marie received a Master's Degree in Acupuncture.

Marie has been in practice for over 20 years in the New York metropolitan area and, since 2007, has owned and operated The Acupuncture Center in Nyack, NY. She works collaboratively with, and provides complementary services for, patients undergoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, and other related therapies and medical treatments.

Her approach: East meets West

Marie's driving difference is how she blends two traditions. She applies the precision of traditional Chinese medicine — acupuncture points, meridians and theory — and incorporates Western physical-medicine technique. Her distinctive method uses myofascial lines for pain management and muscle release.

Rather than treating only the symptom, Marie traces how tension travels through the body's connective tissue (fascia) and myofascial lines. This lets her find and release the root of pain — which is why patients so often feel lasting relief, not just a temporary ease. It's the best of both worlds in a single, personalized visit.

A welcoming, personalized environment

Marie is trusted by thousands of people who have turned to her to improve their health and well-being. As an experienced professional, she educates and guides you through treatment from the first assessment through every step of the process. To determine the treatment plan best suited to your body's condition, Marie takes the time to study your habits and lifestyle. Each patient is unique and each visit is customized for success.

During the evaluation, Marie takes in the whole person — including holistic medical history and other relevant data points. Her goal is equal to yours: improve health and well-being for the fastest and safest recovery.

Areas of focus

Patients have found success with Marie's care for a wide range of concerns, including pain and injury, toxicity, allergies, parasites, overall GI health, autoimmune issues, fertility, hormonal balance, and the effects of stress and aging.

From the moment you step into the Center's comfortable and attractive environment, through each stage of the process, you will always feel like you made a new friend who is committed to your treatment.
