Marnie Boccella, L.Ac., L.S.W.

Marnie, Co-founder of Still Waters, came to Acupuncture while facing a debilitating back injury and was captivated by the power of this energetic healing art. She is a graduate of the Won Institute's Acupuncture Studies Program where she learned to combine both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Constitutional Five Element styles of acupuncture.

In her practice, Marnie specializes in treating issues of fertility and hormonal/menstrual irregularities, digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, sports related injuries, anxiety and depression.

She is a firm believer in the intimate connection between body, mind and spirit and uses her energetic skills to harmonize the physical and spiritual, bringing a greater sense of health and vitality to her patients.

Debi Phillpotts, Vedic Bodyworker

Debi Phillpotts, a devoted and highly recognized Vedic Conservatory certified instructor/ certified advanced practitioner of Nuad Borarn Thai-Yoga Bodywork is based in Philadelphia, PA. In addition, her credentials include certification in all four levels of Five Element Shiatsu in 2001 at The Meridian Shiatsu Institute. While building her Shiatsu practice, she found that most of her clients enjoyed the few stretches she had to offer and would often suggest to her clients to try a yoga class..their response was usually "I am not limber enough to go to a yoga class." Low and behold in 2007, Debi was introduced to The Vedic Conservatory's Founder/Director Michael Buck and discovered the mother lode of assisted yoga stretches. Because of her knowledge of the energy channels from her Shiatsu training and her experience with yoga, this was the most natural progression to enhance her healing practice by blending these modalities into what she now refers to as Vedic Bodywork. Debi is also a certified Reiki practitioner.

Debi is an avid yoga enthusiast and enjoys the many gifts that life has to offer such as family and friends, vegetarian cooking, gardening, traveling, music, dance, arts and culture. Debi lives in Philadelphia with her husband and daughter and works at her three locations throughout the Philadelphia region.
