"I have practiced with Mary for over 10 years, and from the very first class I have learned from her knowledge and come to rely on this wisdom to heal myself by putting the knowledge into practice. As I continue to practice both at home and with the many teachers Mary has taught, I appreciate her teaching and encouraging others to build their own practice and teaching. This is a gift that keeps on giving to our community."
