George - Columbus, Ohio 2006
I’m a 46-year-old male(Columbus, Ohio), and for many years I have “muddled” along with a variety of seemingly unrelated ailments that my doctor could never quite put a finger on – reoccurring sinus/ear infections, gastro esophageal reflux (GERD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) poor sleep, and lethargy. While I found none of these aliments debilitating, I was writing them off as a natural result of aging, the result stressful job/lifestyle, or just “one of those things” out of your control. After an especially long run of antibiotics for my ears (three cycles in a month!) with no positive results, I began developing a variety of new symptoms – rashes, itchy skin, burning eyes – and I happened to mention these problems to Mary, who I began seeing some time before for back/muscle stiffness. She immediately suggested that I research a common condition called candida. Along with her support, I now understand the need for diet and supplements. As a result, I’m feeling better than I have in years! Not only did Mary’s advice clear those immediate symptoms, but my GERD has virtually disappeared, my IBS is gone, my ears and sinuses are clear, I sleep better and longer, I have more energy, and I’ve quickly and effortlessly lost weight! Mary has show me that through subtle changes in my lifestyle and with closer attention on how I live my life that dramatic and positive changes are possible – and that issues that I was conceding to age can be controlled through proper attention and maintenance. I thank Mary for her support and help – and I will continue utilize her extensive knowledge and expertise to evolve the way I look at many issues that affect my overall health.

Angel - Delaware, Ohio 2006
I had been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Severe Endometriosis. I had seen three different Reproductive Endocrinologists and Infertility specialists over the past 4 years. My husband and I had tried most every medication, treatment, and surgery that Western Medicine could offer my conditions in order to get pregnant. When we hadn’t conceived, we decided to see what alternative medicine could offer us. I began seeing Mary Dinneen, somewhat skeptically. My skepticism was primarily due to the fact that I am a healthcare provider and very secure in Western Medicine. Mary melted my skepticism away, bit by bit, with every session.
Mary promptly identified my needs and developed a personalized treatment plan. She taught me how to recognize issues and care for my whole self instead of simply focusing on the physical conditions. I learned about balance and how to be calm, centered, and in tune with my mind and body. While acupuncture treatments were too powerful for me, acupressure was just perfect. Infertility had left me feeling lost and powerless, but I left each treatment session feeling calmer, centered and in control of me. My physical symptoms were lessened, and after 6 months of treatment from Mary, I felt like I could handle another round of fertility treatments. Mary guided my mind, body and spirit through this difficult journey. My husband and I conceived during that cycle. The more amazing thing is that we are expecting twins! I couldn’t have done it without Mary’s soothing wisdom, powerful touch and mindful heart.

I started doing cosmetic acupuncture about 6 months ago and was shocked at the results. I previously had botox to decrease lines in my forehead area. I found botox was expensive and the results did not last long. It only lasted about 10 weeks. Botox also releases toxins into the body which are not natural.
The acupuncture is a natural alternative to botox. It was virtually pain free. There were no stiff or paralyzed areas after undergoing an acupuncture procedure. The best part, I experience better results with acupuncture than I did with Botox. I go for maintenace visits now to maintain the results I achieved. Acupuncture stimulates collagen growth which not only gets rid of lines and wrinkles but is good for the body. I recommend acupuncture to everyone. It’s a way to erase the signs of aging, using what the body already has to offer.

I have been seeing Mary Dinneen for acupuncture treatments since January of 2005. She has treated me for hyperacidity (heart burn); muscle aches and pain and depression. I have experienced amazing results under her care. Mary’s ability to assess and then to utilize the numerous acupuncture points to treat the presenting concern(s) is amazing. I have regularly referred people to Mary. I can personally endorse Mary Dinneen highly without reservations.

For over 2 years, I struggled with infertility. I was sent reproductive specialists and spent thousands of dollars taking fertility medicine. The doctors couldn’t diagnose what the cause of my infertility was but said I had a “good chance” conceiving with the fertility drugs. I didn’t want to settle for a “good chance”, I knew something better was out there so I started to research.
Through my research I learned about the positive effects of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine not only for fertility but for the whole body.
I found Mary’s website online and called her to see if she could help me. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Mary is genuine, positive and kind! She truly cares about what she does and it shows in her dedication to her work and to her patients. Mary has changed my life! She has not only helped me become pregnant (I am due April 2009) but she taught me how to live a healthier and happier life.
Words can not describe the appreciation and gratitude I have for Mary. She has helped me become a better and stronger person. She taught me to focus on the positive. She helped me let go of all the anger, sadness and bitterness that I had because of my struggle with infertility. But most of all she helped make my dream of becoming a mom and having a baby, real… she helped make it my reality and I am forever grateful.
