Trauma-Informed, Somatic Stress Therapist

---

Somatic Stress Therapy

Somatic, means body based  - Mary teaches people who have been hijacked by chronic pain, stress and trauma, how to regulate and restore their "jacked up" nervous systems by learning to manage and mitigate persistent, unwanted stress reactions. With cutting edge research and evidence based tools, Mary helps clients "take back the wheel". Mary's trauma-informed touch, means that clients are safely held on their healing journey, never going faster or slower than what the mind/body's system can handle. 

Let's heal - Not re-traumatize.
