Testimonials

  • "I have been working with Maryam for almost a year now and she provides excellent, attentive and effective care. In a very short time I saw a significant difference in both my body and my overall health. It's really wonderful working with her!"

  • "I always feel great after leaving an acupuncture session with Maryam! She is very kind, gentle, and thoughtful. You can tell that she truly cares for her clients!"

  • "In my opinion Maryam of Heart Body Mind Acupuncture is just about the best acupuncturist in the area. In January I was experiencing lower back and hip pain and my former acupuncturist had become unavailable. An internet search took me to the very professional website of Heart Body Mind Acupuncture. I was impressed with Maryam's medical background and her qualifications and booked an appointment. I was not disappointed. Maryam is attentive, starting each session with a brief discussion about all aspects of how I have been feeling. She then decides the mode of treatment after we talk.. Her acupuncture is virtually pain free and her massage and cupping are amazing! Maryam is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of health including diet and herbal remedies. I see her on a weekly basis now and highly recommend."

  • "Maryam is fantastic! I started doing research for acupuncturists in the area that specializes with fertility since I was trying to get pregnant. I came across Maryam on Google and after meeting with her for my initial appointment, I knew I found a great match. Plus she is a registered nurse which made me feel even more confident working with her regarding my issues. She listened to everything I was going through and asked questions. She really took the time to get to know my situation. She definitely went above and beyond to help in any way she could. I worked with her for a couple of months and was able to get pregnant naturally which was huge for my fiancé and I. I continued to work with Maryam throughout my pregnancy as well. She only has the best intentions for her clients and genuinely wants to help them. She is also flexible with her schedule to help accommodate appointments that work for you. I would highly recommend Maryam for any type of acupuncture session."

  • "I always have the best experience at Heart Body Mind Acupuncture. I feel very comfortable, and the space is beautiful. My job is incredibly physical, over the summer I had both a back and a shoulder injury. I went to see Maryam for both separate injuries and after one session I would already start to feel improvement. After two sessions I was starting to feel back to normal. I know my healing process would have been much longer and was glad to get back to work shorty after my first appointment. I can not recommend Maryam enough."

    Corin M.

  • "I have been seeing Maryam for about 7 months and have seen definite improvements in a chronic condition that has persisted for 40 years. Her patience, knowledge and background as a Registered Nurse makes her the perfect practitioner for a well-rounded holistic approach to better health. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an alternative approach to traditional treatments."

  • "I’ve been working with Maryam for a couple months now. This is my first experience with acupuncture and I didn’t know what to expect. Maryam takes a lot of time to get to know you and your body in the beginning and throughout the process. There were times my body reacted in ways I could have never expected (not pain from her, something like shaking) and Maryam made sure to help and stay throughout. We’re really starting to hit a stride now, I have really grown to trust Maryam. She also has a great mix of calming and inquisitive qualities that naturally remind me I don’t have to fake my face for her, which for an anxious school employee is a beautiful experience and lesson in itself. You won’t regret trying acupuncture/cupping for the first time or picking it back up with her. (I have PCOS and Lupus, both I feel have lightened since I’ve started) good luck on your own journey!"
