“The first time I saw Mary Jane conduct a session was at the From Freeze to Thaw training (which I strongly recommend!). During that demo, I thought to myself, “I have got to work with her!” Mary Jane epitomizes attuned and caring presence. Her expertise is wide-ranging, too. She is deeply intuitive, bringing brilliant awareness and skill in navigating parts. I wholeheartedly recommend you schedule a consultation session with Mary Jane right now. Her professional generosity is second to none, and you will greatly benefit!”
