Through these years of study and work, I have gained an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, and psychology. I have learned how the human body works according to both Western and Eastern medicine philosophies. Combining these two systems has given me the best tool to provide an individually customized treatment for my patients which goes beyond treating symptoms in order to address the root cause of the disease.
When you walk through the door of Gathered Roots Acupuncture, you're immediately immersed in a calm, soft, gentle space and when you meet Marzieh you know the reason why. Meeting Marzieh for the first time as my practitioner, I was immediately drawn to her calmness, her gentle aura and her caring ways as we talked for a short time about the treatment I need.

Community acupuncture treatments involve being comfortably reclined on treatment tables arranged in a relaxing group setting. Treatment is provided using effective points on the head, torso, arms, and legs. This style of acupuncture creates a collective healing environment. With this we offer an affordable sliding scale making acupuncture more accessible to more people in the community.
After my family and I immigrated to Canada in 2008, I obtained a diploma in osteopathic manual practice from the National College of Osteopathy in Toronto. After a few years of work as an osteopath, as the Western world became more accepting of holistic healing alternatives, I decided to study acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to gain further knowledge in treating my patients.

Private acupuncture treatments are available to those who prefer a bit more privacy. Treatments are one-on-one with the acupuncturist. If you are trying acupuncture for the first time and a bit nervous, we recommend booking your first session as a private one. Afterwards, you are welcome to switch to community treatments or continue with private sessions depending on your comfort levels.
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Cupping helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Cupping sessions can be done on their own or as a combination treatment.

Started going to Gathered Roots about a month ago. It is a beautiful setting with natural decor that makes you feel at ease and provides a healing environment. She is kind, knowledgeable and experienced.
I starting going to help with chronic Fatigue in relationship to POTS syndrome. I have seen some receive of my symptoms over about a month.
The community accupunture option will also allow my insurance to last until the end of the year.
Highly recommend.

I've been visiting Dr. Marcie on and off again for a few years, plus pretty steadily in the last five months. The best thing about Dr. Marcie is that she is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell that she genuinely takes interest in your health and wellbeing. I like how she explained why she is using acupuncture at specific points to relieve my ailments.
I have chronic headaches and she gave me lots of tips on what I can do in my daily life to help. She also taught me some acupressure points to help ease my pain. When I was asking her questions, she let me know what the next steps would be for

I've been going to Gathered Roots off and on for at least a year now for acupuncture and love it so much. Marcie is incredibly knowledgeable in her work. She is kind and patient and does her very best to address all your ailments and get you feeling well again. The atmosphere is so calm and relaxing that even though it's community acupuncture and there's often others being treated, acunaps are still achievable. Thanks Marcie for providing such an incredible and valuable service!

I was nervous about tring Ancupuncture for the first time and my experience at Gathered Roots was very pleasant. Marzieh truly seemed interested in hearing my concerns and helping me come up with an approach that would fit my unique circumstances. The environement was very relaxing, I even fell asleep during my first session! I think it is great that she does sliding scale to offer an affordable option for those who need it. I am looking forward to coming back and working with her more.

I always look forward to my appointments with Marcie. The environment is calming and relaxing. Marcie is very kind, reassuring and knowledgable! She answers all of my questions and explains everything that she is doing. I feel very safe with her. Within two months of seeing Marcie for fertility treatments I became pregnant! I highly recommend her services.

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I was a bit nervous but Marcie took the time to ask me questions before our session and learn about my ailments. So far I’ve had 2 treatments and they have both been fantastic she is very gentle and creates a very calm welcoming environment. I’ve already recommended her to family members.

Been coming to this place since the beginning of Jan 2020 to help with my issue. Also my first time trying acupuncture in my life as I wish to seek for natural and long lasting treatment than massage therapy. It is an interesting experience to trigger the body to relax itself by having a needle poking at the trigger point.
Offer community acupuncture and private session depending on the individual needs and fair price for regular treatment.

I’ve been seeing Marcie For a few months now. She is very professional & knowledgeable while also being open and friendly. The place is very peaceful and relaxing and always smells great. I actually prefer the community style over the pharmacy like individual sessions at naturopathic clinics - makes my insurance money stretch longer too.
