It's a great pleasure for me to recommend Maryam Mehrjui as an acupuncturist, herbal consultant, nurse and all around purveyor of both Eastern and Western approaches to the healing arts. She is as knowledgeable about her various areas of expertise as she is devoted to its hands-on application. Her buoyant confidence makes you feel better the minute she enters the room. Her touch is so deft that you know a healing is taking place. She answers questions clearly and supplies questions of her own that get to the heart of your ailment. She's constantly coming up with intelligent and helpful suggestions. There is no health giver I have encountered in my life - a long one as I am seventy years old- in whom I have more confidence. She is kindness itself. And she's just as capable as she is kind. A quick story: I have been given drugs for cancer that deprive me of memory, stiffen my joints and virtually stop my circulation. Maryam went with me to visit my oncologist at Sloane-Kettering. She translated my layman's clumsy attempts at explaining my symptoms so the doctor could better understand what I was getting at; then put the doctor's answers in layman's terms so I could finally comprehend the scientific descriptions of various medications and their effects. This helped me to make better choices while accepting the side-effects that are inevitable. Maryam is where East meets West as far as healing and improving general health are concerned. Nursing skills are second nature to Maryam - and her ability to combine a prodigious intelligence with an equally intense interest in making people feel better not only gives her great practical skill but also the ability to 'inspire' healing." read more

When I initially sought out Maryam, I was hoping to improve my general well-being through acupuncture, but I quickly realized that Maryam's knowledge and skills extend far beyond just one modality. She is proficient in various forms of touch therapy, cupping, and acupuncture and possesses a wealth of knowledge about herbs. In fact, I have been able to replace one of my medications with a natural option--something I wasn't sure would be possible and for which I am incredibly grateful. Time spent with Maryam is both a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Her gentle, attentive approach makes you feel exceptionally cared for, bringing a sense of reassurance and peace. Maryam tailors treatments based on our conversations and her potent intuition, focusing care where it is needed in a personalized process. Additionally, she readily shares her knowledge on how I can enhance my treatments at home and in-between visits. Maryam is a caring practitioner whom I would recommend to anyone experiencing a health issue or those looking to incorporate a different approach to self-care. Her kindness, intention, and knowledge offer her clients a truly unique opportunity to heal, learn, and explore alternative methods in the pursuit of healthy bodies and healthy minds. read more

I began my first acupuncture treatment with Maryam in October 2024 to assist me with severe insomnia. She accommodated me immediately and fitted me into her busy schedule as well as any advancing or rescheduling appointments if needed. The applied massaging techniques before and after treatment are always beneficial. Maryam will review your diet and other lifestyle habits that may be affecting your general health and will suggest methods to improve. In a short period of time I found Maryam to be more than an acupuncturist. She not only heals with acupuncture and cupping she also heals spiritually. Her calming even toned voice and mannerism is always soothing and brings me to feelings of peace. Life can be overwhelming at times and she has been able to calm my mind and body before, during, and after treatment sessions. She is teaching me the importance of enjoying life while solving problems during stressful times. I highly recommend Maryam! read more

As an intuitive quantum energetic practitioner, it was extremely important that I find an Acupuncturist that incorporates Chinese Medicine to match my energy to help with past life traumas, grief in this life time and to heal within deeply. The most important aspect of being treated by Dr. Maryam Whooten, is that she can sense and connect both acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to your body's needs. Her energetic vibration is so soft that it matches each energy tones of each needle placement. This I found to be extremely helpful assisting my body to finally heal itself. I have the utmost respect for her expertise and wisdom. Gratitude: Sheldon G. (TigerWillowStudio.com) read more

I had my first session of acupuncture and massage with Maryam yesterday. Fell asleep during the treatment and woke up, feeling like a new person. The difference I feel today is amazing! Not only the pain I had in the neck and shoulder area (the reason I went to her) was instantly gone and I had the best night sleep in a long time but also woke up with a great energy this morning! Maryam is knowledgable, caring and most importantly trustworthy. Her healing hands do magic! I can't wait for my next session! Will definitely recommend Maryam! read more

I love going for treatment with Maryam. Her combination of Polarity Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy and Acupuncture is a rare delight. Working to balance my whole system and loosen my muscles before putting in the needles is very relaxing and makes the acupuncture that much more effective. I have been to many other practitioners and Maryam's approach is, indeed, unique and wonderful. She is a highly skilled and intuitive healer as well as a loving and caring person. I highly recommend her work. read more

Maryam is such a skilled acupuncturist--she intuitively knows where the blockages are in my body before I even articulate what I have been feeling and where. She is gentle (I am not a huge fan of needles) and caring--I feel incredibly supported during her treatments. I could not recommend her enough. I have been seeing her on Tuesdays at Bikram Yoga Park Slope for community acupuncture and am so grateful to have her here in Brooklyn as well as Manhattan! read more

I began working with Maryam several months ago and noticed improvements in my physical and emotional health almost immediately. She is gentle and intuitive and willing to explain the "hows" and "whys" of Chinese medicine.

I always leave feeling relaxed and balanced. Highly recommend! read more
