At M Center Acupuncture and Wellness, our practice is built on a foundation of clinical integrity, radical inclusivity, and unwavering support for the labor and legacy of New York City.
- Union Solidarity & Membership: We recognize that the arts are built on the physical and mental labor of professionals. Dr. Mary Elizabeth Micari is a proud, long-standing member of both Actors’ Equity Association (Equity) and IATSE. This dual membership allows her to advocate for her siblings in the arts with firsthand knowledge. We are deeply committed to supporting members of IATSE, AEA, SAG-AFTRA, AGMA, and AGVA, ensuring that those who keep our stages alive have access to accessible, high-impact care.
- Clinical Integrity: As a Doctor of Acupuncture, Dr. Mary provides care that bridges centuries of traditional wisdom with modern clinical precision. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of the NCCAOM and the medical community, ensuring every treatment is safe, professional, and evidence-based.
- A Sanctuary for All: We believe every individual deserves to feel heard and supported. We provide a respectful and inclusive environment for individuals of all sexual identities, gender expressions, and cultural backgrounds. Our clinical protocols, such as Vitality Bloom, are designed to be safe spaces for reproductive and hormonal health.
- Advocacy for our Elders: We believe that aging is a “Second Spring” that deserves dignity and specialized care. Our ethics extend beyond the clinic walls as we advocate for the geriatric community, providing support in homes, hospitals, and care facilities to ensure our seniors maintain their sovereignty and vitality.
- Theatrical Insight: We understand the specific physical and vocal rigors of the industry—the heavy load-ins of the crew and the vocal/physical endurance of the performer—because we have lived them. Whether you are center stage or backstage, we speak your language and understand your “call time.”
