Mary's journey to her calling as a healer began with her own need for healing. As a survivor of childhood and spousal abuse, she had clear insight into the challenges faced by others in similar situations. After her graduation from The Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 1988, she developed expertise on the healing needs of survivors of domestic abuse.
As a result of her observation that people in emotionally painful situations often could not tolerate deep tissue work, she developed and trademarked a unique method of soft tissue work called Gabriel Energetic Cradling®. Gabriel Energetic Cradling® works gently with the body to promote physical and emotional healing.
Mary's practice has evolved into one where she utilizes many different healing methods, including Spring Forest Qigong, Reiki and Gabriel Energetic Cradling® to promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Now, Mary is bringing her years of practice directly to those who seek their own way for healing by offering classes, workshops and retreats in self-care, healing and growth, whether physical, emotional or spiritual.
With the wisdom gained from 20 years as a healing professional, and the understanding derived from her life experiences, Mary is able to identify a person's needs and to match each individual with the healing method that will be most beneficial.
