In Ontario, she gained her clinical experience in Humber TCM clinic, Progressive Health Centre, Tzu Chi Student Clinic, Toronto People with Aids Foundation (PWA), and Renascent Punanai Addiction Rehab Centre, among others.

Her practice focuses on treating the root cause of her patients’ conditions and not just the symptoms. Her passion for natural medicines includes dietary therapy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture modalities. She uses these in combination to help maintain and restore optimal health and vitality.

In particular, Mariana is fascinated with the healing properties of herbal medicine and its efficacy in mitigating side effects associated with commonly used pharmaceutical drugs. Understanding the potency of herbal medicines and any interactions with medications prior to writing a prescription demonstrates Mariana’s commitment to patient safety. If an herbal prescription is needed, she will tailor it according to the presenting sign and symptoms, the underlying root cause, as well as the patient’s general constitution. Her goal is to partner with her patients to strive for disease prevention and to improve their quality of life.
