"When I came to Mary a little more than a year ago, I was a mess of a body. I was recovering from multiple surgeries, having a baby and had just finished a very tough treatment regimen for cancer. I was determined to regain some of the balance, strength and coordination I had lost as well as lose some of the weight I had gained during the pregnancy and cancer treatment. I also wanted to find me again. I quickly realized that my enthusiasm and goals did not match the capabilities of my body. But Mary supported me in every way, while working with "the body I brought her." Her encouragement won over my discouragement and kept me going. Depending on my physical shape and abilities, Mary creatively customizes each of our sessions to my needs and capabilities. And I'm always challenged with new moves and some of my favorites as well. I feel like I'm Mary's only client because her personal touch is weaved throughout my workouts. Working out with Mary through Pilates has helped to restore my confidence, flexibility, clear my mind and allow me to feel more in control of my body again. Mary has taught me that this process is not an uphill battle or a war of mind versus body. Instead, it is a journey forward to a stronger, healthier, cancer-free me and Pilates is a part of that journey. With Gratitude,"
