What could be better than to Love what you do,
and feel that it matters? - Lauren Engel, age 18

 
 
Hi. I’m Mary!
I want to give you a little background on my life journey. It’s about a reflection on what my life has been to date.  I see the gift in remembering how far I have come, and what an amazing life I have had.  

My time on this earth stared in 1952 in Iowa, spending the majority of my childhood through my 20’s in Chicago.  I am the second youngest of five siblings.

True to the stereotypical Catholic upbringing I was educated in the parochial system that at the time had a way of making missing an answer the “road to hell” for eternity.  I excelled in reading.  Reading took me to far away places where I was apart of another world.  The relationships in stories fascinated me; the way characters dialogued to resolve their difficulties was amazing to me. 

I married in my late teens and shortly afterwards had my 1st born, Christine, followed by Jeanette and David each 2 years apart.   That relationship ended after 12 years when I realized my sanity was worth whatever the unknown future held.  I left with my children driving 2,000 miles to Seattle.   

I married again, and found myself in another abusive relationship.  Through guidance I managed to find the community agency of counseling for alcoholics and their families.  At first I worked there as a volunteer, moving my way into an employment position.  I went back to school for my counseling certificate.  Learning and validated all the while about what an unhealthy relationship looked like and how to change the patterns I had somehow fallen into. My next step on this journey was changing my beliefs about myself and behaviors to reflect what a healthy person would say and do in a relationship.  Needless to say a second divorce occurred.  

Dawn of a new era of Energies and Light Beings 

It was during this time period I became aware of ‘energies and Beings of Light.’  I had noticed that I was becoming acutely aware of the energy in my surroundings. It began in 1988, while quietly reflecting one morning I felt energy around my head, like someone holding it.  Fortunately at work I had a friend who I could share my experience with.  She made a recommendation to call a gentleman named Colin at the Rose Pearl Institute.   

I met Colin and shared my weird experience with him.  While sitting on his couch and discussing events, I felt something electrical pulsating into my feet. At some point I stopped the conversation and told Colin this.  He just smiled.  Apparently I was able to feel earth energies that were being sent my way.  My life has forever been changed. 

I spent over 8 years at the Rose Pearl Institute training and working with Higher Level Energies from the Angelic, Light, Earth and Space Planes.  This work included clearing and repairing aura fields. The energies coming onto the planet in the early 1990’s were part of a Higher Vibration shift. This flow helped me to realize there was another way to work with people in a more kind and loving manner. 

I left my job as a Crisis Intervention Specialist for middle and junior high school students and went to massage school.  My job showed me that children considered high risk for drug/alcohol addiction, anger management, and drop out potential had one thing in common; the lacked being touched in a loving, healthy, non-violent and non-sexual way.   

I was seeking the same experience.  Shortly, after I started massage school, my next journey on the healing process began. I had been in a number of accidents and had sought out numerous health care professionals.  The daily pain nearly had me in the disabled category. My recovery came from the exposure to both western and eastern trained professionals who combined traditional practices along with alternative bodywork.  The physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of healing are intermingled and understanding how the body heals is a true gift.  This path of learning and exposure led me to CranioSacral Therapy.  I offer this gift of healing to those seek recovery and growth of their being.  Blessings as you seek your answers.
