Judith Pritchard has changed my conception of what a full-body massage should be. Her deliberate attention to each muscle group, working the knots and spasms until they are gone, leaves my body feeling loose and relaxed. No mean feat given the Parkinson's Disease that stiffens my muscles. There is magic in her fingers and I feel fortunate to be able to experience the effects they can produce.

Susan Marino’s knowledge of Traditional Oriental Medicine far surpasses that of other acupuncturists I’ve seen. Acupuncture for Susan is a vocation and a talent. Susan is amazing in the way she combines acupuncture, her experience, and the principles of Chinese herbs to treat patients. I’ve been seeing Susan for better than two years now, for various issues. Initially, I had a facial rash that dermatologists could not diagnose, but only treat with creams. Since seeing Susan, I no longer have it. Susan is great! She’s a nice person, calming, easy to talk to, comfortable to be with, and very, very interested in her patients. Honestly, my sessions with Susan keep getting better. After a visit with her, I have an overall feeling of wellbeing.

-Jennifer (IT Specialist)

I run in biathlons and half-marathons, and I have found that getting a massage at Orion's Light is great for relaxing me and loosening my muscles a few days before a race. After a half-marathon, my soreness was gone after a 40-minute session with Judith.

- Jessica (Professor, Spinning Instructor, and Running/Cycling Enthusiast)

I first met Susan a little over two years ago. I was post-surgery for a knee injury, and the swelling would not go down. After three months, my surgeon said that the swelling was hindering healing and could potentially cause the outcome of the surgery to fail. I had already been icing nonstop, elevating my leg, taking ibuprofin, going to physical therapy: all the recommended things. At a loss and desperate, my surgeon suggested acupuncture. Within three weeks of seeing Susan, my swelling went down and I was back on track to healing. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs worked wonders. I wish that I had known about it sooner.

Annie displays a natural attunement towards the needs of her clients. In my sessions with her, she pushed me when I needed to be pushed, and knew when to provide me with space and silence. Always supportive, and imbued with caring, intelligence and clarity, Annie is the rare kind of practitioner with whom you see results in the work of transformation.

-Jay Crosby (Mental Health Counselor)

I have been receiving acupuncture from Susan Marino for almost ten years and she has helped me recover from minor ailments like colds, headaches, seasonal allergies, and fatigue.  She has also helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle despite my chronic asthma.  With regular acupuncture, herbs and basic exercise, I feel stronger, healthier and happier as an adult than I did as a child.

-Meredith (Marketing Consultant)

A wonderfully soothing experience in a warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth setting. I couldn't have felt more at home.

- Jennifer (Administrative Coordinator)

I came to Susan when I was suffering from acute shingles and stress. She treated me for four years with acupuncture and herbs until I moved to San Francisco. With Susan’s regular treatments I was able to manage my stress and resulting shingles. She is an amazing practitioner, and I have yet to find someone as good in San Francisco.

-Audra (International Development)

Judith does wonderful massage work, tailoring it to just what I need on that particular day. Her warm personality and her sympathetic listening add to the richness of each session.

- Barbara (Librarian)

Susan Marino and acupuncture have been my two best friends for the past four years. I started seeing Susan for a heel spur and peri-menopause symptoms. The heel spur disappeared completely, and with three years’ worth of acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I managed my peri-menopause and menopause into balance and harmony. My journey with Susan and acupuncture continued through a diagnosis of abdominal lymphoma one year ago. I went to an alternative center in Mexico and continued on my Chinese herbs while receiving ozone therapy and four rounds of chemo. Through all of that, Susan was very supportive and helpful with her treatments. I have much to be thankful for. Last November, I had a CAT scan that showed a 90% tumor reduction!! I was thrilled, and give many kudos to Susan for having the insight to get me to the hospital for the CAT scan. I am now 100% cancer free! If you are considering acupuncture for yourself or a friend, please do it! It has to be one of the best healing modalities there is, and Susan has the insight, touch, and practice to make acupuncture work for you!

-Carol (Nurse and School Bus Driver)

What I like the most about working with Annie is the warm heart-holding space that lands with her every time she has worked with me. I can also feel a strong commitment in her to help me through the path for my spiritual development. She really cares. Her joy in giving is so tangible, and that has always been an inspiration for me in learning how to meditate and do ISIS. She has been a very good teacher in the techniques of how to move me and my clients further in their process. The combination of a joyful, determined, giving heart is what makes her so special.

-Yvonne (Artist)

I am proud to say that I have known Judith Pritchard as a business associate, professional massage therapist, and friend for the past 4 years. Judith has worked on me personally and I refer many of my patients to her. Not only are they thrilled with the fabulous massage, but also compliment her on her extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and her wonderful disposition. You can truly feel the warm healing penetrate into your body and spirit. Thank you Judith for your years of service and personal care!

- Kim (Chiropractor)

I have had a great experience working with Susan. Her acupuncture treatments have been successful in alleviating my issues with headaches and intense PMS symptoms. Susan is understanding, supportive, and intensely knowledgeable in her approach to acupuncture treatments. No only was she able to treat my symptoms, but she helped to educate me on the benefits of TCM for my day-to-day needs.

-Alden (Yoga Instructor and Owner of Evolvewell Yoga)

I have used Orion's Light's service for years and have always enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and Judith's therapeutic massages. I’m an Administrative Assistant and after spending a great portion of my day sitting at the computer, the experience of a massage is soothing to my spirit and body.

-Denise (Administrative Assistant)

As a healer myself, I appreciate Susan’s ability to quickly and accurately identify and treat the causal factors of my symptoms (stress and insomnia). Working with her allows me to continue with my own work, which is, at times, physically and emotionally demanding.

-Robin, Certified Massage Therapist

Deep and Insightful - ISIS is an amazing opportunity to visit the depths of myself in a safe and supportive environment. The realizations and experiences which have ensued have brought lasting change and greater internal peace. I have gained clarity and the ability to stand in my own strength, and realized I was not as afraid as I thought I was. I have been able to step into a bigger part of myself.

-Cliona Nic an Fhaili (Manager)

When I first met Susan I had been diagnosed by my doctor with anxiety and depression. I was prescribed a lot of medications, and had a lot of physical aches and pains, such as burning of my hands, feet, and legs. I went from one specialist to another with no relief, and spent a lot of money. A friend suggested acupuncture, but in my mind, there was no way I was going to have someone put needles in me, because my phobia of needles was so bad. Finally, at my wits end, I called my friend and she gave me Susan’s number. I reluctantly made an appointment. When I met Susan, my heart was pounding out of my chest! She put me at ease in about five minutes by explaining everything about acupuncture and how it could help me. She also explained that unlike traditional medicine (where you take a pill and the pain goes away), she needed to work with the body as a whole, and that it would take time and patience – and more than one visit. After a month, I was a new person. I took the herbs she gave me daily, and was patient. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t met Susan: she gave me my life back.

-Abigail (Ultrasound Technologist)

Orion's Light provided me with a relaxing and therapeutic massage that nurtured my inner senses.

-Judi (Certified Nurse Midwife)

My job requires me to travel quite a lot, which means coming into contact with many people, flying on airplanes, etc. Needless to say, it’s easy to get run down and catch a cold. I try to see Susan when I begin to feel the first signs of getting sick. I have found that a session of acupuncture and some Chinese herbs can usually wipe out whatever is making me feel sick at the beginning stages. I never knew that acupuncture could work as preventative medicine, but these past couple of years have made me a believer.

-Erin (Travel Consultant)

Judith is an amazing therapist. She's able to quickly zero in on areas of pain or dysfunction and provide lasting relief. She is capable of providing strong, consistent pressure to penetrate deeply into muscles, or of using a gentler touch combined with healing energy to soothe stressed muscles - depending on her clients' needs. I recommend her highly!

- Gwen (Certified Massage Therapist)

After many years of taking prescription drugs for sinus problems, allergies and arthritis pain, I decided to seek alternative treatments to alleviate the side effects of doctor prescribed medicines and the afflictions I was suffering from. After reading about the benefits of acupuncture, I found Susan and ceased taking pain meds. I found her to be very knowledgeable in all aspects of acupuncture as well as compassionate and caring of others. She truly loves what she does! Under her care, I move about freely, breathe easier and sleep better. I no longer wear an Ace Bandage when playing golf to protect my wrist and I can walk easily for long distances and feel no pain in my back and legs from the arthritis. For almost 5 years I have taken no prescribed drugs for pain. I not only feel better but I feel healthier and look pretty good for a "baby-boomer.”

-Barbara (Homemaker)

I have known Annie for several years. I was always impressed with her passion for people on a one-to-one basis. Through ISIS, I got to know not just my physical body but how it relates to my subtle bodies.

-David (Medical Doctor)

Susan's thorough, caring, and grounded approach make her a unique health care professional. I feel very fortunate to be a client of hers.

-Donna (Potter)

If you are looking for a massage by someone who knows what they're doing, Orion's Light is the place to go. My stress level has decreased ten fold. I was about to see my general practitioner for what I thought was carpal tunnel syndrome but after 3 sessions the tingling in my arms and hands has disappeared. The location is superb, easy parking, a great atmosphere for relaxation and healing. Best Philadelphia area massage!

- Hannah (Real Estate Entrepreneur)

I’ve been a patient of Susan’s since 2004 and have been treated for various conditions and life changes with consistently successful results. Susan is not just an acupuncturist but an extremely talented practitioner of Chinese medicine. She understands the relationship of the body and mind, and treats/advises her patients accordingly. Susan utilizes the holistic approach by understanding one’s diet, mental and physical conditions to best assess what acupuncture treatment(s) would be most effective. She’s top notch!
