TESTIMONIALS

I worked with Mary during a three-month creative arts therapy project for survivors of SA and DV, and I found the work extremely beneficial. She was friendly, supportive, and positive, and was very good at staying engaged with me during the session. I was able to process a lot of somatic memories during my high school years that have been quite blocked, and she was great at being encouraging and able to gently direct my attention to where it needed to go. She also has a special skill at connecting different parts of the self and that felt very healing and inspiring.

-Private Client

I only worked with Mary in three somatic coaching sessions and the movement I experienced was profound. I felt so safe and held during my time with her and I think this really allowed me to open up to deep vulnerability and go direct to what needed to come forward. Her guiding inquiries and reflections were so tuned in and really helped me. Recovering from deep trauma, I really valued the somatic aspect of her coaching. I can't recommend working with Mary enough.

-Avesha Michael, Storyteller

Mary is an incredible coach. After one session, I was able to really notice how my body reacts to different life situations. And with that, I was able to react better. Plus, it opened my eyes to what was creating tension and what was liberating. I’m so ready to do more sessions to unlock more! Thank you, Mary!

-Liana Vizcarrondo, Confidence Life Coach

Mary was amazing! She made my emotions feel validated, supported, heard, and understood. Most importantly, she made them feel OK, which allowed us to go deeper into why emotions were there and how to diminish the shame that was still existing. Through our short time together, she connected me closer to my inner child and highest self. She gave me tools to walk away with to continue to strengthen that connection which I think is invaluable. Highly highly recommend connecting with Mary if you are struggling to feel worthy and want to get a deeper connection to self.

-Vanessa Rodriguez

This program changed my life and allowed me to unshackle myself from a lot of pain and fear that I was carrying in my body. Investing in Mary meant I was investing myself. I knew I wanted to start a memoir but what I didn't realize was how much this process would help support my healing through intergenerational trauma, sexual abuse and verbal harassment. Mary is very raw and honest with her own experiences, and I felt safe and held when I felt so vulnerable. She took me through an exercise that connected me to my higher self. That exercise gave me permission to release myself personally, which then helped me propel my business.

-Leslie Lew, Trauma-Informed Self Defense Coach, Author & Founder of Reclaim Your Courage

I was looking for a push to write, but also to uncover the things that were blocking me from moving forward. Mary definitely brings in her personal experience on her own path to trauma writing and writing in general, while also bringing in other experts in the mental health arena to help uncover and heal my authentic self. Also being a first-generation Khmer American, it was wonderful to have a space and a leader who could completely relate to my experience that I am writing about. Now, I have more confidence to tell my damn story and that's in large part because of her guidance, the content from the program, and also the group that I was in.

-Nancy Yeang, Writer/Yoga Instructor

The Dare to Rise program was a huge leap forward in my writing process. Mary has a unique approach and a long list of resources to help you find your voice and share your story in your own time. I have always been drawn to writing but I never knew how powerful it could be to make meaning out of the most difficult moments in my life. Through this program, I learned how to see my own experiences in a new light and weave together the story of my life. Without Mary's guidance and support, I wouldn't have been able to speak my truth for others to hear, first in a published essay and eventually through my memoir.

-Nicole Smith, Thyroid Cancer Survivor and Advocate

I felt very happy and at peace with myself after taking this 1:1 somatic session. The next day I woke up feeling empowered within me and feeling so grateful with myself. I was able to connect with my higher self and feel that I got me, I am safe, I am loved and I can achieve everything my heart desires. It was powerful to see how my body connect with nature during this call and learn how that can help me regulate my nervous system.

-Private Client

My 1:1 somatic coaching session with Mary was so helpful! She is gentle and truly caring, I could tell she was listening attentively and that helped so much because that created a space where I could feel safe. Her writing exercises were based on the experiences I shared with her, so I felt like they were tailored to my needs and that made such a huge difference because they were not just some generic prompts. I loved the sharing time after the writing exercises and also the grounding/breathing time before the writing began. I enjoyed the visualization exercise and found it so moving and powerful because I discovered more things about myself. Mary never rushed me and always remained present, both of those things are so important for people like me that are trying to heal emotional wounds. Thank you, Mary!

Mary's workshop, Embodied Storytelling To Heal Ourselves And The World, was a truly transformative experience for our community. Through her expert guidance and nurturing presence, Mary led us through a process of exploring our own stories, and uncovering the ways in which they connect to the wider world around us. Throughout the workshop, we learned valuable tools for integrating our stories into our daily lives, and for using them to create positive change in the world.
