"Mary, please put this feedback up. Susan M, Evanston
I tried acupuncture before a few years ago and it was such a bad experience. The person stuck in a lot of needles that hurt and then left the room for an hour. I decided to try it again after having cramps and migraines so bad last month I had to call of work. You were so sweet and nurturing. Our appointment yesterday you made sure to let me know what you were doing and answered all of my questions thoughtfully and intelligently. I still can't believe that I didn't even feel some of the needles! I was so relaxed leaving. I am excited to continue working with you."
I have been seeing Mary for over two years now and she really is just an incredible therapist. My back pain had gotten so bad I couldn't function. I found a same day appointment with her and after just one appointment the pain was gone. I have since gone back many times for allergies, asthma, (...) knee pain. Each time I see her I look forward to her calm presence and the pure healing magic of her hands.

I have been to many doctors over the years, both alternative and regular for my pain and discomfort associated with having Lupus. Although some things helped, it was not I started seeing Mary regularly for acupuncture and then craniosacral that all of the issues I was dealing with started to seem more manageable (...) I no longer have fatigue, my aches and pains are gone, and overall I feel more clear headed and happier in my life. I can't recommend her enough.

"As a massage therapist myself I am usually super critical of all other therapists. I had my first appointment with Mary last week in the form of a Zero Balancing session and knew right away I was in good hands. She was able to find spots on my body I didn't even know were in pain and work on them without me feeling uncomfortable. I felt after the session very grounded but yet feeling very open and noticed that my own work for the rest of the week was some of the best I have ever done."
"Every month I look forward to coming into Mary's cute blue room and relaxing for my massage. I don't know what she is doing but everything always feel great and I feel relaxed and happy for days after I leave... Last time we did the energy work for thirty minutes and then an hour massage and I felt like I was in pure bliss. What an experience."
"I just wanted to thank you for our last appointment. After last week I really felt like a veil has been lifted and that I felt lighter and happier than I have felt in a long time. After so many years of suffering with depression I felt hopeless and that nothing was ever going to work (...) Thank you again so much (acupuncture and herbal medicine patient)."
"When I started going to Mary I had migraines that caused me extreme pain and disability several times a month as well as digestive issues. After five acupuncture appointments with her my digestive problems have gone away completely! I also have only had one migraine over the last three months!"
"I have spent probably thousands of dollars buying bite guards (and biting them into little bits and pieces) and going to various people to get rid of my tooth grinding issues. Let me tell you, having someone tell you that you need to be less stressed out is not a good cure for anything. I grew frustrated and a friend suggested I find a CranioSacral therapist.
"After a few appointments where Mary went spent time actually going into my mouth (not as bad as it sounds, I assure you) I felt like my whole mouth was able to open wider than it has in a long time and my grinding has reduced now to no pain. Mary was also able to suggest some herbs and supplements that might help me too for other issues."
"Mary is an extremely competent and caring individual. Even though I was just getting a massage, we went over my entire history and I could tell that she really cared about what was going on in my life. The massage was one of the best I have ever had, and believe me I have had plenty! I left feeling relaxed and extremely calm, which with two small children is no small feat."
YELP REVIEWS
"...once the reiki started, my subatomic particles immediately became nonlocal, existing everywhere simultaneously in the space-time continuum, winking out into an invisible field of potential before resuming their three-dimensional existence as the subatomic particles, however temporarily, that happened to make up the thing I call myself. It was that good."
"Great place for a massage and you can't beat the price with a stick in the Evanston area."
"She's very professional and good at what she does. Knots that I never knew existed were immediately worked on and I felt so amazingly relaxed and soothed. She used multiple techniques on me - I could feel the tui na on certain parts and shiatsu on the others, and the rest - I was in euphoria..."
