Marion Bergan

Marion’s unique approach to healing is enriched by her background as a classically trained Buddhist meditator. Having accumulated over one year’s time in silent retreat, she understands consciousness and how the mind works. Marion’s medicine bag is deep and she calls upon all her personal experience and training to help bring her clients to a place of balance and harmony.

In the mid 1990’s Marion realized that Alternative Medicine was her life’s passion. This eventually led her to pursue a career in Acupuncture, but she came to it with a broad exposure to other healing modalities. This background includes a deep understanding of nutrition and sensitive digestive issues. She shares this information along with simple daily energy exercises empowering her clients to take control of their health.  She believes that symptoms are the body’s way of communicating and she strives to make meaning out of seemingly separate bits of information to bring understanding and change to current health challenges.

Her style of healing embraces Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture within the framework of Japanese style acupuncture. As a Certified Kiiko Matsumoto Style practitioner, her diagnostics include a highly systematized method of palpation that allows the body to directly reveal its disharmony. Marion also uses her certification as a Second Degree Usui System of Reiki Healing practitioner anytime she uses methods that require hands on the body. Most recently, Marion has incorporated Eden Energy Medicine into her work and it has transformed her practice. She says “energy medicine took acupuncture from flatland to a full dimensional, multilayered, colorful understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the subtle energy body!” “I now see and understand imbalances in an entirely different way, and it has personally changed my life on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels!” Needless to say, Marion is very excited about the new direction her practice is taking and looks forward to sharing it with those who feel similarly drawn to this cutting edge medicine of the future!

Marion works with Penny, her canine companion who is a very sweet Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel Poodle mix). Penny is an Alumna of the Berkshire Humane Society where she was surrendered in May 2009 due to a heart condition requiring surgery. Penny loves to meet and greet people and is very sensitive to the physical and emotional challenges people present with. Penny is registered with Pet Partners (formerly known as Delta Society) as a Therapy Dog.

Along with Penny, Marion brings humor and joy to work with her. She likes to say that laughter is the sound often heard coming from her office, and that it creates a loosening, an opening for healing to begin.
