"It is my privilege to facilitate the process of a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session. This work combines my love of yoga and my background in counseling along with my strong belief that the body, mind and emotions are one. In Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, supported yoga postures help access the body/mind and tap into the emotions so that the individual can connect with their own inner wisdom. It is always a sacred experience for me to be the witness to this unfolding and discovery.

"If this sounds like a journey you'd like to take and feel ready to try it, give me a call at (530) 272-4152. I do this work on Saturdays in a lovely space at 673 South Auburn Street in Grass Valley, CA."  MaryJane


 

Testimonials

"While working with Mary Jane I feel safe and surprised at the dialog that comes out of me. Being brought to my edge in gentle poses releases insights to some of the issues I am focusing on. The unforced and easy dialog that Mary Jane facilitates is a great way to hear myself answer my own questions."

"After my husband passed away and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia I read about Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy in Yoga Journal. I saw that Mary Jane was a local practitioner. I was looking for relief from my situation.

"When we met, Mary Jane, through the Phoenix Rising Yoga therapy offered me the space to explore what was happening to me. In the initial sessions Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy helped me experience the body/mind connection and identify the emotions I was holding in my body, which I realized were manifesting in real physical pain with the fibromyalgia. People think fear is in their head. But it was in my body.

"When I was able to look at the fear and sadness and name them, I found they lost power over me and I could begin to process and release them. I also noticed the intensity of my fibromyalgia symptoms subsided. When I do a session with Mary Jane it seems to set up a process and things keep opening up for me that started in the session. After this last session I cried for the first time in 6 - 8 months. I have been weeping off and on this past week. I know it came from that session. "

"I came to Mary Jane for several Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy sessions. I am a recovering alcoholic of seventeen years. I have been doing yoga and meditating for the last three years. It all helps a lot. But there was this feeling of not being really happy in life and not knowing why. In each session sorrow and sadness came up. I just couldn't shake it right off because for whatever reason I kept holding onto it. So I just dug deeper each time. I found I had had no idea of the depth of this sadness and the burden I had been carrying for so many years. The grief had to do with the dysfunction of my family and unfulfilled dreams. My mother was an alcoholic, but my Dad covered it up. And we all suffered for it.

"Here I had been holding on and holding on. But it was as though that sadness and guilt got "squeezed out" of me by the supported positions of Phoenix Rising. And as that happened I became aware of the burden I had been carrying and holding inside me and I was able to release it!

"Being able to voice that in the sessions made me aware next that I wasn't responsible for the sadness. I now realize I am not responsible for Dad, or my brothers and sisters or what happened in our family. I never would have got that far if I had gone to a therapist. I always felt very safe and very supported by Mary Jane, and when you feel supported you can relax and let go."

"What a gift, to be present in your body and aware of its wisdom. I came to Mary Jane to work with specific issues which have been blocking my ability to go forward with ease in my life. She kept me focused on my breath, my body, my feelings. The self-dialog which she facilitated for me was transformational, completely resolving my primary issue which had been impeding my progress for years.

"Beyond that was the incredible sense of Presence I experienced! I carry that with me even now, but that day in particular all my senses were alive. The sky was bluer, the grass greener, the food more delicious, the smells more fragrant, the music more alive. The essence of who I am was and is more present because of this work."
