Hi, I’m Mary.

Soul-Centered Psychotherapy | Sound & Energy Healing
Professional Bio
Mary has been a healer & member of professional counselling associations for 17 years and a practicing musician for 25 years. She is registered with the College of Counselling Therapy of Prince Edward Island & a member of the Heart-Centered Therapies Association.
She has a Psychology Degree, a Diploma in Professional Counselling, and certifications in Gestalt Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Past Life Regression Therapy, the Compassion Key, Spirit Release Therapy, Reiki, Mindfulness, & Intuitive Development. She holds a deep reverence for this work and remains committed to ongoing personal and professional development.
Mary helps people navigate anxiety, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, spiritual exploration & the many seasons of being human. At the heart of it, Mary helps people come home to themselves - reclaiming their voice, trusting their intuition, and reconnecting with parts of themselves that have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten.
Mary's work is holistic, trauma-informed & deeply experiential, drawing from Gestalt therapy, somatic and body-based practices, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, sound, and energy work. Her approach is rooted in meeting difficult emotions and experiences with compassion, while making space for intuition, spirituality, ceremony, and ritual as meaningful parts of healing when they resonate with the client.
While she works with people from all walks of life, Introverts, Highly Sensitive People, Empaths & helping professionals often find themselves particularly at home in her work.
Mary's practice is inclusive and grounded in a commitment to decolonization, welcoming LGBTQ+ clients and diverse ways of being and knowing. Her psychotherapy practice is fully virtual year-round, with riverside in-person sessions offered in eastern Prince Edward Island each summer, alongside group sound and energy healing experiences.As seen in…
I See You…
You’re caught in a cycle of over-giving, people-pleasing, or putting everyone else’s needs before your own - and you’re tired.You struggle to know what you need or want, or find yourself shrinking, staying quiet, or abandoning yourself to keep the peace.You know you need stronger boundaries, but guilt, fear of disappointing others, or old patterns make them difficult to hold.You live with anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or perfectionism - even when, from the outside, you seem to be doing just fine.You’ve done a lot of reflecting, healing, or therapy already, but still find yourself returning to some of the same patterns.You’re navigating grief, burnout, a relationship change, a transition, or another season of life that has left you questioning who you are or what comes next.You want to feel more connected to yourself - your body, emotions, intuition, needs, and the parts of you that may have been pushed aside along the way.
You’re somewhere between who you’ve been & who you’re becoming…
You’re in a season of change and the person you’ve been doesn’t quite fit anymore.You feel pulled toward something deeper, but aren’t entirely sure what that looks like yet.You want to trust yourself, your intuition, and the direction your life is taking.You’re beginning to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been quiet, hidden, or set aside.You’re exploring your spirituality, purpose, or intuitive gifts and want space to do that without having to separate them from the rest of your healing.You want to feel more grounded in yourself as you move into whatever comes next.
This doesn’t have to be your path…
You don’t have to navigate anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or self-doubt aloneBut I totally hear you, because that was me 17 years ago, at the beginning of my own healing journey. I spent years doing deep personal work, and my own spiritual awakening eventually opened the door to an even deeper exploration of myself, my spirituality, and how I understood healing.And, well, it took me a while to figure all of that out - including coming out of the spiritual closet - and to find a way to integrate these different parts of myself and my work.You may know that something in your life is ready to shift, even if you’re not entirely sure yet what comes next.
I get it.

My Story…
I’ve always been led by my heart & done things my own way…
Even as a child, I had a strong sense of who I was and how I wanted to move through the world. After university, that same instinct led me to choose an experiential path into counselling. I didn't just want to learn about healing - I wanted to experience it from the inside out.
So I got uncomfortable in the client chair myself. I kicked chairs & yelled into pillows. I learned self-forgiveness, sobbed on floors, explored my shadows, cut energetic cords & rewrote soul contracts. Over the years, my own healing became as important a teacher as anything I studied.
Healing became something much bigger.
I began bringing together worlds I had once thought of as separate. Psychotherapy met spirituality. The wisdom of the body met intuition. Meditation, energy work, hypnotherapy and regression became part of my own exploration alongside the therapeutic work I already knew.
I learned that healing wasn't about endlessly fixing myself. It was also about learning to feel safe in my body, meeting the parts of myself I'd pushed away, trusting my intuition, allowing myself to receive support, and letting old versions of my life fall away when they no longer fit.
Eventually, that integration changed not only how I lived, but how I practiced.
Then life cracked me open.
After close to a decade of personal work, several major losses arrived within a short period of time. I ended a seven-year marriage, was robbed at gunpoint, experienced an unexpected pregnancy and mid-term stillbirth, and found myself asking a question I could no longer answer:
Who am I, and what do I do now?
That period became my first Dark Night of the Soul and the beginning of a much deeper spiritual awakening. Several years later, another profound shift opened my intuition in ways I hadn't experienced before. My sensitivity intensified, synchronicities seemed to be everywhere, and I developed an insatiable desire to understand spirituality, consciousness and the unseen parts of our experience.
And I’m still becoming.
There have been times when I've followed what made sense on paper, and others when I've taken a leap because something deeper in me said go. I've started over, moved across the country, taken sabbaticals, followed spiritual callings, built a practice I love, and learned - repeatedly - that I don't need to know exactly where a path leads in order to trust the next step.
My life isn't a finished healing story, and I don't believe that's the goal. These days, I'm much more interested in living with peace, presence & power - staying connected to myself through life's inevitable changes, continuing to grow, and making room for both the deeply human and the sacred.Greatest Inspirations
