Summary:

Trusting the Journey of Self-Discovery

Mary’s story is one of resilience. Despite societal conditioning and expectations, she forged her own path—starting with traditional medical training and ultimately stepping into the powerful, intuitive healer she was always meant to be. After 24 years of running a successful chiropractic practice, she experienced a profound burnout that pushed her to ask deeper questions about her identity, her purpose, and the nature of healing itself.

That search led her across the globe to Vietnam and Bali, where she deepened her yoga and meditation practice, and eventually to the Academy of Intuition Medicine in California. There, she finally gave herself permission to embrace the extrasensory gifts she had once hidden.

 

Understanding the Chakra System

Much of our conversation centered on the chakra system—a blueprint for understanding how energy moves through the body and shapes our experience of health, emotions, and purpose. According to Mary, the chakras are like energy vortices that process information from our environment and internal world. They aren’t “new age,” she reminds us, but rooted in ancient science.

Each chakra connects to specific emotional themes, physical systems, and spiritual truths. For instance, the root chakra (located at the base of the spine) governs safety, survival, and belonging. Imbalances here can manifest physically (through issues like adrenal fatigue or lower body pain) and emotionally (as instability or fear). Mary emphasizes that energy imbalances often begin long before symptoms show up in the body—making it vital to tune in early and often.

 

Practical Tools for Energy Healing

So how do we restore balance?

Mary shares three core practices:

1. Grounding to the Earth’s Frequency: Reconnecting with Mother Earth’s nurturing energy helps us cleanse and recharge our system.

2. Detached Alignment: Learning to distinguish our energy from others’ allows us to stay sovereign in our own emotional space.

3. Present Moment Awareness: Shifting awareness from past regrets or future fears into the now helps recalibrate the nervous system and promote healing.

Meditation is the thread that weaves these practices together. Through guided visualization and intention, we can tap into the body's wisdom, support our chakras, and activate the body’s natural healing abilities.

 

Creativity, Self-Expression & the Chakras

We also explored the profound connection between creativity and the chakra system. The sacral chakra, located just below the navel, is the energetic center of creative power. But creativity isn’t limited to artistic expression—it includes the way we speak our truth, hold space for others, and show up in the world. Mary often sees the sacral and throat chakras working in tandem, highlighting the importance of authentically expressing our desires.

“When we suppress our desires or creative urges,” Mary says, “we’re ignoring the very signals our soul is using to guide us.”

 

Living in Alignment: A Devotion to Self-Care

For Mary, energy medicine isn’t just a practice—it’s a way of life. Her self-care is deeply holistic: meditation, movement, sound healing, hydration, nutritional support, and psychotherapy all play a role. She describes this devotion not as a to-do list but as second nature, a daily honoring of the body’s intelligence.

And her message to women seeking more health, happiness, and purpose?

Ask yourself: What are my deepest desires?

 

Final Thoughts

Mary’s journey is a powerful invitation to remember who you truly are—beyond the roles, the noise, and the conditioning. Her work reminds us that healing isn’t just about treating symptoms, but about coming home to ourselves.
