Mari Torres de González is a holistic healer with a long history in Puerto Vallarta. In 1910, her grandparents were married in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Vallarta’s most famous landmark), and her family has been here ever since.
Mari’s approach looks at the totality of the person, and tries to find the best healing options for their specific circumstance. It’s through her patients that Mari’s built a varied and substantial knowledge base. “I grow through my patients,” she told PV Pulse. “When [a case] is complex, I really get into all my books and do all the research that is necessary to design a treatment, and I enjoy that very much. I learn with every patient, and that is really the motivation for me. Every patient is different, and every patient has given me so much. It´s very gratifying.”
Education:
- Hypnosis, Regressions, Mexican Association of Clinical Researchers of Hypnotherapists, Guadalajara
- Certified by the American Counsel of Hypnotists Examiners
- Diploma in Naturopathy, University Center for Alternative Medicine. Tijuana
- Diploma in Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Biomedicine and Biomagnetism, University of Guadalajara
Areas of Specialty:
Mari breaks down her areas of specialty into these three main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine:
- Acupuncture: Acupuncture was Mari’s first field of study. She received over 900 hours of hands-on training during university. Acupuncture is most often used to relieve pain.
- Moxibustion: is the application of heat to acupuncture points as a treatment for pain such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, and pain in the knees and back. In addition it helps tone the organs so they function better.
- Herbal Therapies: As a complement to her treatments Mari uses Aztec Elixirs (Elixires Aztecas), elaborating on the method used by Dr. Back which utilizes flowers, fungus and minerals from the energized Mexican soil to help individuals with general imbalances. Elixires Aztecas direct their action to the individual´s awareness and emotions, thus reconnecting him/her with his/her lost nature. They help to catalyze the latent potential, and they facilitate the expression of patient´s ability to solve their unbalanced conditions. This treatment targets both physical and emotional well-being, and can be used to allay anxiety, depression, tension, insecurity etc.
Other treatments
In addition to the core treatments outlined above, Mari uses other herbal tinctures made from plants from her own garden such as cañuela (to clean the kidneys), passion fruit (a sedative, an antispasmodic and a treatment for high pressure), and guanabana (believed to have an anti-tumoral effect).
- Magnotherapy: Magnotherapy is the use of magnets, and is an alternative technique for those who are averse to needles. She uses both Dr. Demetrio Sodi´s electromagnetic bed and hand-held magnets to treat pain, osteoporosis and other problems.
- Biomagnetism: Biomagnetism is a relatively-new therapy using magnets by pair (+) and (-) to induce the neutral PH in organs with hyperacidity caused by pathogens. With a balanced PH there is no disease. It is safe, causes no iatrogenia, and no medicine needs to be taken. About 13 million patients have been cured all over the world since 1988.
- Hypnosis: Mari mainly uses hypnosis to treat chronic pain, addictions such as smoking and drinking, chronic pain and allergies. “Allergies occur because the immune system is compromised, but the immune system is connected to your emotions,” she says.
- Mary Stagg Detox: This detox system is a revolutionary way to re-balance the body through electrolysis and stimulating all body systems. This is typically used during the first appointment.
