Meet Mary

I currently live in Ypsilanti, Michigan with my adorable Airedale, Otis. Throughout the various stages in my life, I have found profound healing and growth from movement, music, and nature. These three elements have been the most reliable and consistent aspects of my life. I come from a musical family and while I am predominantly a vocalist and guitarist, I play a variety of instruments. I grew up a competitive swimmer and was always encouraged to spend time outdoors. I have a deep appreciation for wildlife and nature. In addition to being a yoga instructor, artist, and performer, I make my living walking dogs.

I love experimenting with new forms of artistic expression. I am constantly expanding my knowledge and looking for ways to share what I’ve learned. I am currently in school working towards a degree to become a Physical Therapy Assistant. I love to travel and have spent time exploring North America, South America, and Europe. I love animals, gardening, dancing, swimming, creative writing, snow skiing,, waterskiing, boating, hiking, cooking, music festivals (especially Wheatland), as well as the occasional glass of Irish whiskey or wine.

I have always believed in the powerful connection between body and mind. I remember knowing instinctively at an early age that pain could be released through movement. I have suffered from severe depression and anxiety throughout my life. Since I had an aversion to talk therapy, I was compelled to seek out alternatives for coping with my pain. Movement and music have always been positive outlets that I have found to be effective. I believe everyone holds pain from their past experiences within the body and as a yoga instructor I strive to assist others that are working through similar challenges. As a performer, I aim to empower others and hope to spread my enthusiasm and unconditional love for music and dance.

Connect with me if you are interested in booking me for an event, want to purchase some art, or set up a private yoga class. I am passionate and committed to helping others submerge themselves into the magical world of movement and sound. I am here to answer any questions or concerns. Have a beautiful day!
