"At the first session with Mary, I felt more inside my body, like i had a strong sense of my container and physical boundaries. My movement felt expansive and effortless and i was experiencing a lot of ease and gratitude." - Sara C

"I felt that being in Mary’s presence contributed to feeling safer and gave me a sense of being energetically held as i journeyed into my inner self and allowed what wanted to emerge become present!" - Ana L.

"I experimented my possibilities and limitations. I enjoyed very much the writing and the drawing as a means to focus on and share my experience. I felt very relaxed and safe." - Andrea D.

"I felt I could trust the therapist, and that she was looking after me and making sure I was safe psychologically and physically." - Marina M.

"I would like to have more sessions with Mary, as a personal reflection...maybe through the movement and the drawings I could end up understanding more about me...my past and my inner soul, my fears and my strong points" - Rosella D.

"Dear Mary,
As I reflect to our somatic sessions with you, I noticed that after the first session, when I felt we were just 'settling in', I had a fairly clear sense of 'co-creation' - that we were working together but your supportive focus was on me. This dynamic was quite new and also precious to me - it's not often I've been conscious of such a relationship in my life." - Laura S

"Touch and breath work at the beginning of sessions helped me to locate any tension or holding in my body and what parts of myself were calling out for attention. That helped to ground myself and slow myself down into a more receptive state before moving. I really appreciated drawing after the moving exercises as i feel that this opened me up to another level of experiencing myself, while integrating my process." - Kathrine A.

"I experienced somatic arts healing practice for the first time with Mary. She guided me skilfully and professionally through the session, where I experienced my responses through sound and movement, as well as drawing and using colour to express myself. Mary put me at ease, and I felt comfortable letting go and letting her guide me through a thoroughly nourishing and beneficial experience. I am now open to this new experience and can thoroughly recommend Mary and all the practices she offers." - Zenda W

"As I reflect to my experiences during the five Somatic Arts Healing sessions with Mary, I see them as a journey from uncertainty and fear in the first session to gradually opening myself, using the beautiful images suggested from Mary, in order to create new images, new movements, new perceptions.The movement became increasingly freer and I find that the sessions were energising me. It was like I journeyed from darkness to light!" - Kevin M.
