Mari Kubota envisions a world in which people and animals can connect with their own true spark of life and be empowered to continue to come back to that simple place of being-ness, unfolding over time into their most vibrant selves.
Mari believes in deep transformation that integrates body, mind and heart. Her intention is to humbly bring her attention and support to what is —giving the body permission to relax, release and to heal in the wise ways it already knows how.
Mari utilizes Traditional Chinese Medicine, her family lineage of Japanese Ishizaka-ryu Acupuncture, Usui Reiki, Medical Qigong, intuition and the power of intention to go beyond physical healing.
ABOUT MARI
Mari was deeply intrigued by the healing arts from a young age and began studying Acupressure, Shiatsu and Macrobiotic diagnosis on her own. In the summer of 2000, she interned with her father, Naoki Kubota who brought a unique style of Acupuncture called “Ishizaka-ryu Acupuncture” to the West. Since 2003, Mari has been practicing Jin Shin Jitsu and Acupressure for Emotional healing, Tui Na and Reiki. Mari earned her Masters of Science in Asian Medicine from Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley in 2009 and began integrating Acupuncture into her practice in 2010. She has helped thousands of clients, human and animal alike, from ages 3 days old to 101 years old, to alleviate a wide array of health issues. Mari identifies as queer and has over 20 years of experience working intentionally with communities of color and people who identify as LGBTQ-TS/gender queer, gender variant and gender non-conforming. She was awarded Best of Oakland in 2018 for her work in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics. Mari lives in the East Bay and loves spending time outdoors with her son, pups and traversing the inner world in meditation.
