Marisa Fanelli is a licensed acupuncturist, certified therapist, serial entrepreneur, and business coach. She is such a sweet healer. She has always had an interest in medicine, and in the healing relationship between patient and practitioner. Her passion for this medicine led her down all sorts of pathways: Marisa traveled to Japan to study Shakuju (a non-insertive acupuncture technique); she practiced community-style acupuncture in an AIDs clinic in the Dominican Republic. She even studied facial rejuvenation techniques!

Marisa is constantly educating herself. She became certified in hypnotherapy at the Thomas Institute of Hypnosis, and began to incorporate this into her sessions. Now, the majority of her patients come in for what I refer to as “hypnoacupuncture.”

When she's not in the office, Marissa writing, traveling, or hosting Mystical Popups with the incredibly talented metaphysical practitioners she has cultivated relationships with over the past several years.
