Mary Warner is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, researcher, social entrepreneur, and author whose work explores the spaces where healing, culture, ecology, and spirit meet. She advocates for wellbeing that is intermedicinal—a term she coined to describe a way of practicing and understanding medicine that moves beyond the “integrative” or the “holistic,” and instead resides in the unobstructed flow of healing between the planet, the human, and the more-than-human world.

Her work is informed by interdisciplinary training, rigorous research, and lived practice. She began her studies at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine under the direction of Dr. Chen Changle, a leading researcher of qigong, and completed her doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada magna cum laude. Drawing from classical lineages and contemporary inquiry, Mary’s work centers on creating conditions for healing that are relational, place-based, and attentive to the intelligence of the living world.

Before turning her focus fully toward medicine, research, and writing, Mary Warner spent nearly two decades working in brand marketing and strategy across cultural, creative, and consumer sectors. Her work included executive leadership roles such as fractional Chief Marketing Officer for U.S.-based companies, as well as long-standing engagement with publishing, visual art, and creative education.

This experience continues to inform her approach to medicine as a relational, narrative, and ecological practice—one attentive to meaning, context, and the stories that shape how healing is understood and lived.
