I participated in a series of seasonal classes with Mary in order to educate myself on the Chinese Five Element system of health. I am a professional cook and wished to learn how to incorporate the principles of this ancient and profound system into my work. Mary presented information to our group in a compassionate and masterful way which I found very inspirational and practical, and made it easy for me to understand and use these principles in my menu planning and preparation, as well as in my daily life. I have great respect for Mary as a teacher, and as a person, and whole heartedly recommend her as a teacher to anyone who wants learn more about how to how to live life in a conscious way.
