Mary Warner is a holistic medicine clinician and multi-disciplinary artist. Her writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books and The Bitter Southerner, Edible, and Paste Magazine, while her artwork has been featured in group exhibitions throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. She has taught workshops on creativity and art-making, helping clients find their voice through authentic visual and written storytelling.

Today, she studies Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada and works as a student clinician, completing a doctorate she began in Shanghai. At a time when many people don’t have access to medicine, she believes well-trained Chinese medicine practitioners can serve as viable primary care providers. To that end, she is currently independently researching pubic perceptions of Chinese medicine to help bridge gaps in understanding the profession and identify opportunities. She’s interested in decolonizing medicine and writes about aging, access to healthcare, and ceremony in medicine, among other topics on her Substack On Good Medicine.

Since 2022, she also oversees creative & communications as a fractional Chief Marketing Officer for a globally distributed beverage brand.
