Mary’s Background: Mary is a spiritual counselor,
not a licensed psychotherapist. She works with an intuitive approach
within a wholistic model, Psychosynthesis. Her counseling philosophy
is influenced by yoga studies, body-centered therapy, and the Twelve
Step program. Her sessions are focused on accessing emotional relief
and a renewed soul connection as soon as possible. She has a background
in psychology at De Paul University in Chicago and Metro State University
in Minneapolis. She trained for 150 hours with Dr. Edith Stauffer,
PhD, and was certified by her to be a facilitator of The Eight Steps
of Forgiveness process. She received a certificate from The Humphrey
Institute Reflective Leadership Program; Mary also works on staff
at Hazelden Renewal Center as a Renewal Specialist.
Forgiveness Counseling
It’s not hard to forgive - you just need to know
how, and have skilled and compassionate support while you do it.
Mary has been facilitating powerful emotional healing with the 8
step model of Unconditional Love and Forgiveness since 1990, and
has not yet seen it fail to bring significant and permanent relief.
If you know that you have some specific issues of hurt and resentment
towards key individuals in your life past or present, you will benefit
greatly by taking time to "clean house" and release that bound-up
vitality for your goals and dreams in the present. When forgiveness
occurs, miracles happen: relationship dynamics heal and evolve,
addictions fade out, and even physical health problems clear up.
The average time investment it takes to clear up a large resentment
is 1-3 sessions. If you know you need to clear up a few issues but
don’t want to do a lengthy stint of traditional psychotherapy,
this short-term focused counseling using The Eight Step Forgiveness
model may be just what you need now.
Recommended counseling cycle: 6 sessions: weekly for acute pain
(divorce, crisis, etc.) Bi-weekly for long-term emotional issue.
Recommended preparation for telephone counseling work: The
Peaceful Heart Audiotape.
Spiritual Counseling
Mary is available for spiritual mentor ship to individuals
who want to have an experienced guide with them on their spiritual
journey. Mary’s approach to each session includes a prayer
and an attunement to the level of the soul, and her strong intuition
and service orientation will help you penetrate to the heart of
the spiritual questions you are currently challenged with. Mary’s
goal is to help you actualize your highest potential, and help you
break through in areas where you feel stuck. Her tool box is eclectic,
and the work together ranges throughout the levels of your being
over time: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Mary draws
on her experience in The Twelve Step Program, Siddha Yoga, Unconditional
Love and Forgiveness, and twenty-five years of exploration in complementary
and holistic modes of self-healing. She can recommend reading and
optional homework assignments in between sessions to give you some
"grist for the mill" in terms of the personal growth changes you
want to realize.
Recommended spiritual mentoring cycle: Bi-weekly for first 4 sessions;
then monthly for as long as you wish.

Coaching for Healers and "Sensitives"
"You’re too sensitive!" If you’ve heard this
all your life .. If you feel overwhelmed by the racket and clash
of vibrations of the modern world and the people around you ...
if you feel that you know much more than others do but can’t
explain why ... If you feel that you are perceiving other levels
of psychic existence at times (the spirit world, collective consciousness,
etc. ), then you are a "sensitive."
It is estimated that approximately 15% of the human population
falls under the category "extremely sensitive person." Many "sensitives"
are talented artists, psychics, and healers, but they have not learned
how to manage their sensitivity and personal intensity, so that
their sensitivity is a gift instead of a liability. Although traditional
earth-based societies have typically had an attitude of respect
towards sensitives, modern society tends to de-value the gifts and
experiences of the sensitive type.
Mary is available to you for coaching on how to manage sensitivity,
and how to focus it’s gifts in a purposeful way. Mary worked
for twelve years as a professional psychic, and has learned how
to be a sensitive who is at home in a world she used to find harsh
and overwhelming.
The keys to being happy and sane as a sensitive are:
- learning how to accept your difference as a real thing, without
making you feel separate from "normal" people, and
- practicing personal energy hygiene so you are comfortable in
your life, wherever you go. And 3) finding your best expression
of service as a sensitive - help others with it!
Stop feeling like you are "too" sensitive --- claim your gift and
enjoy your life!
Recommended coaching cycle: Weekly at first, then bi-weekly or
monthly, as determined by you and Mary as you make progress.

Life Purpose Coaching
"A human being who is fully living their purpose is a beautiful
thing to see."
It is possible to correctly discern what one’s purpose in
this life is, and to empower yourself to fully live that purpose.
Purpose is a paradox, a balancing act between acceptance and motivation,
and it operates in different levels and different arenas. The tools
of purpose include intuition, humility, and will. If it’s
time for you to become very much on purpose with your life, Mary
can help you clear away the confusion, get clear, and get going!
She can help you relax deeply into your current purposes and support
their organic unfoldment. What are you waiting for ""Relax and Get
Going!"
Recommended counseling cycle: Bi-weekly, six times or as determined
by your progress.
