Mary Ann Willoughby is a healer/acupuncturist/writer creating projects that delve into our shared relationship with myth and memory. Telling stories through the use of images, sound, and the poetry of landscape, Mary Ann has the ability to observe and listen while moving towards the precipice of change, the doorway into transformation.

Mary Ann received a master’s degree from the Milano/International Studies at The New School and earned an MFA in Film from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is the recipient of several grants awarded by the Nobel Prize winning Biologist and Researcher, Robert Holley, from the Salk Institute. In 2003 Mary Ann began to incorporate acupuncture, movement, breath, and meditation into her practice and continues to bridge the art of healing with the art of storytelling.
