Mary's story:
I have been swimming with whales and dolphins since 2007 and have had some amazing encounters. My experiences have helped me to become a more passionate and joyful person. Viewing my
experiences from the perspective of being a WhaleBreathing Coach, a Certified Transformational Breath® Facilitator and EnergyTouch® Practitioner, I realize that being with these magnificent beings has helped me to reconnect to the most important thing in life, my breath.
I bring compassion and peace to my work with others that comes from firsthand experiences of
frustration, compassion, obstacles overcome, and tragedies transformed. Born the sixth child of a couple who were still grieving a recent stillbirth, my own hearing and learning disabilities were discovered only after years of frustration—and a severe lack of faith in myself—led me to temporarily abandon higher education.
After finally learning that my disabilities made
me different but not less, I began to conquer the difficulties they presented… and explore the gifts they offered. I found in myself a compassion for differences. A determination to conquer obstacles. I went back to college, finished with honors, and began to explore ways to help others who face roadblocks.
