What We Offer

Our knowledgeable, gentle, and caring Doctors specialize in pain management, fertility, women’s health, dermatology and orthopedic injury healing.

Pearl Apothecary+Inner Gate
Emerging Energy founder Dr. Mary Claire Dilks, DACM, created Pearl Apothecary products and Inner Gate jewelry for you to use at home to continue your healing path when you’re not in our clinic or on our treatment table.
Pearl Apothecary products are inspired by the wisdom of Chinese Medicine and the natural world. Since 2016, using precious oils and herbs, our Doctor-formulated products care for the health of your skin, guided by history and science. Suitable for sensitive skin (and people), we carefully make our products in small batches in our clinic in Providence, RI. Our aromatherapy blends are designed to reduce stress and bring you into harmony with the five elements and the rhythms of nature.
Dr. Dilks handcrafts Inner Gate jewelry with healing intention using natural semi-precious gemstone, vintage, and magnetic beads. Meant to be worn by you with intention, as a reminder of your healing path, some bracelets feature magnetic beads to stimulate acupuncture points on your wrist to calm anxiety or nausea. Available in our clinic boutique and our online Etsy shop, Inner Gate pieces are one of a kind and celebrate healing stones as nature’s artwork.

"Love everything about this place! I have been receiving acupuncture sessions weekly and I am seeing the results in my “everyday” life. This place is very welcoming, clean, quiet and inviting from the second you step in. They were very careful and checking if I was comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend this place and definitely a 5 star review.”
