Mary has pursued fitness and sports her entire life, turning a passion for physical exertion into a career side-hustle. With a background in competitive running and fencing, as well as coaching, Mary went on to pursue aerobic, Tae-Bo and personal trainer certifications in the mid-1990. 
Thereafter, Mary became a dedicated life-long practitioner of various styles of yoga and meditation. In 2017, Mary completed her Hot HIIT® certification followed by Bar Method barre instructor training in 2019. Mary then completed her Hatha YYT 200hrs through Evolation Yoga followed by a Buti® Yoga certification. In 2023, Mary furthered her studies in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Yoga through Love You Brain. She believes full-heartedly that the body is not just designed to move but to heal using an array of tools hidden deep within and that once tapped into, can unleash a personal transformative experience.
