About Marie Gonzales

I am a nationally certified, New York State licensed acupuncturist, as well as a Certified ionCleanse practioner, with more than 18 years experience in the healing arts. My acupuncture career began after becoming an acupuncture patient. Acupuncture had such a profound effect on my own health issues, that I chose to dedicate myself to helping others find relief. My personal experience has given me a unique understanding of my patients' needs. My philosophy is one of treating the whole body, while staying true to the reality of everyday life.

I laid the foundation for my career as a healer when I began my training as a massage therapist, including body work techniques such as Zero Balancing, Craniosacral Therapy and Sotai Ho. These techniques have considerably contributed to my approach of treating the body as a whole.

In 1995, I earned a degree in Acupuncture from the Tri-State College of Acupuncture. Over the years, I sought out every opportunity to enhance my ability to help others. I returned to Tri-State to earn a Master's Degree and have since obtained certifications in Advanced Acupuncture, Essential oils, Reiki and Detox. My diverse background and training have provided a fresh and well-rounded perspective while treating patients with a wide array of ailments.

At the Quan-Yin Center I have created a safe and nurturing environment to practice my individual style of traditional healing. I believe in treating the entire body during illness to get to the root of the problem, not merely masking the symptoms.
