Mary Beth also holds a BA in Art History and Spanish from Boston College. In addition to her formal schooling Ms. Hassett apprenticed with Holly Guzman in Santa Cruz and Ken Pang in San Francisco and later Palo Alto. Holly taught Mary Beth the true subtleties of acupuncture and moxabustion (where an herb, moxa, is burned on or above the skin at acupuncture points). Hollys work was influenced by Kiiko Matsumo and the benefits of abdominal palpation; as part of a study group, Avi Magidoff furthered Mary Beths instruction about Kiikos style.
Mary Beth studied more about Japanese acupuncture with a group of blind acupuncture masters from the Toyohari Association in Japan, and through this experience was able to hone her pulse-taking and palpation skills. She completed the Toyohari training program in Washington D.C. in 2001.
In 2006 Mary Beth studied with Sharon Wiezenbaum in Amherst, MA where she completed her two-year Advanced Herbal Studies program as well as a Mandala Acupuncture Program which she incorporates as part of her treatments. Most recently Mary Beth is earning a certification in German Auricular Medicine, ear acupuncture, through the Vital Principal Institute. The ear is fascinating in that is has the greatest number of acupuncture points concentrated in one area and is a microsystem for the entire body including its anatomy and nervous system, and a way to access the brain directly.
Mary Beth Hassett graduated from the Masters Degree program at Five Branches Institute in 1997.

Mary Beth also holds a BA in Art History and Spanish from Boston College. Mary Beth has been in practice in the Freeport, Maine area since 1999.
