Testimonials
"The past few years have been very challenging for me and I've been working hard to be healthy both physically and emotionally. What I didn't understand prior to working with Mary was the impact my emotions were having on my body. First through Mary's Restorative Yoga workshops and Yoga for Relaxation classes I was able to focus on and identify what my body was trying to tell me. Then with Reiki, Mary helped me release and let go of lingering energy and emotions that I was holding onto in my body. What I had thought were muscular issues and sports injuries were actually tightly held tensions around past events and relationships that I needed to let go of. I couldn't possibly tell you exactly how this all works. I only know that it does and that Mary is a very gifted, empathetic and intuitive healer." - Irene
Hi Mary, Since I started seeing you for your reiki healing energy sessions, I have experienced much improvement in my IBS symptoms! My tummy hasn't felt so good in a long time. Also, my headaches have disappeared thanks to the breathing I continue to do at home on a daily basis. Your hands are magical....Thanks, Maureen
"I have known Mary since July 2011 and have experienced her awesome yoga and reiki skills firsthand. In March of this year I engaged her as a wellness coach as I was having difficulty getting 'past myself' in the creation of my resume. Mary then helped me uncover and discover many aspects of my inner workings that have been holding me back. Mary worked with me in discussing and developing my specific wellness plan to include healthier eating, self-care, booking 'fun' into my calendar (the hardest one), meditation, focus, and coping skills for various events in my life, etc. Mary held me accountable and I have definitely developed awareness for better habits to promote my own wellness. Mary's background accompanied by her knowledge, intuition, ability to dig to the root of a perceived problem, balanced energy, sense of humor, and listening skills are the things that make her a great wellness coach. I feel I am truly now on the yellow brick road to wellness - in mind, body and spirit - thanks to Mary " - Nancy
"Life coaching is a unique experience, at least it was for me. I wasn't exactly sure what I would do, what the coach, Mary O'Toole would do, I just knew I was stuck in a rut and needed to change.
Conversations with Mary are always a combination of humor, support, perspective with a healthy dose of no "bs" thrown in because Mary is expert at holding me accountable.
Her sensitivity and insight is spot on, and this allows her to nudge me in the direction I want to be in to live my best possible life. She always encourages me to find my true self and not get caught up in my "story" that I tell myself. This is very freeing as it allows me to recognize the thoughts and assumptions that are holding me back.
Because of my experience with Mary, I have adopted what I call "maryisms" that I say to myself many times since my coaching series ended. The most important one for me is "breathe". - Susan

“My Reiki session with Mary O’Toole means one hour to re-energize, one hour to sort through all the baggage that I carry around with me each day and one hour to heal my body, mind and soul.” - Susan
“Restorative yoga is the absolute best way to finish the work week and enter the weekend. It is relaxing and helps me achieve balance and find my center. It would be a great class any day of the week, but is extra special on Fridays.”
“Laughter yoga has got to be the best class for connecting with my inner child. Letting loose, feeling silly and leaving with my sides pleasantly aching from laughing so hard. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
"Mary truly believes that yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, body type, and ability. She provides a comfortable and safe environment, teaches modifications for poses as necessary and shows each person how to set their intent for their practice. Truly a wonderful class.”
