About the Practitioner — Maria Cook LMT, LAc
Maria Cook LMT, LAc graduated from a 4 year program in 5 Element Acupuncture at Wu Hsing Tao School in Seattle. She is licensed by the state of WA and nationally certified by the National Council of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) as a Diplomate in Acupuncture. She has a private practice on Bainbridge Island.
She has been a licensed massage therapist since 1990 and has studied many healing modalities including educational kinesiology, energy medicine, yoga, Thai yoga massage, deep tissue therapy, and soft tissue release, among others. She is currently pursuing advanced training in Compassionate Listening.
Maria is committed to helping people feel better, both physically and emotionally. Her passion is to support people on their spiritual path and she uses her knowledge of the body and its energetic pathways to assist on a deep and powerful level. She works with people of all ages and all stages of health. She is particularly drawn to 5 Element Acupuncture for its remarkable ability to heal both the body and the mind.
In addition to her career in the healing arts, Maria holds a Captain’s license for sailing boats up to 100 tons from the US Coast Guard. She ran her own charter business for several years in the Caribbean and has sailed all over the east coast and down to the islands. She has taught seamanship for Outward Bound and volunteered on an educational schooner here in Puget Sound. She is an avid kayaker and loves to explore out of the way places in the NW. Partner dancing is another passion and if she is not in the office or does not return your call promptly, she just might be out waltzing with bears.
