About the Marlborough Wellness Center

The Marlborough Wellness Center became a reality in October 2005 on Route 20 in Marlborough, Massachusetts. It is here where modern and traditional medicine become integrated. Where the practitioners are knowledgeable about the Western medical system and yet have found success with alternative medical approaches to health and vitality. We work hand-in-hand with you to ensure complete and open communication occurs between all your medical health practitioners. Each one of us is eager to help you live a more healthy life, full of energy and fulfillment.
