It was then that Mary became interested in massage therapy - a more natural, hands on modality for helping peoples'musculature become more balanced. During deep tissue sports massage, her gifted strong hands find tight knots and trigger points...there is no match for her patient, skillful movements and techniques.

Her energy sessions are world class. She is able to reach the areas of tightness with slow but deliberate and controlled movements that effectively aid the body to release its tension so it can relax and heal.
