Psycho-Spiritual Counseling: Mary Angela brings many years of experience to support clients in their mental, emotional and spiritual growth. As an interfaith minister, yoga teacher and counselor, she specializes in incorporating the teachings of 'The Law of Attraction' and melding it with body awareness (yoga) and her intuitive counseling skills.

Some of Mary's clients work with her via the phone or Skype.  Phone/Skype sessions can be a convenient alternative when you live far away or are out of town.

Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy: An advanced body centered therapy that expands on traditional 'talk' therapies by addressing the stress patterns trapped in the body. Utilizing assisted yoga postures, the client releases long held stress patterns and is supported in the explorations of their origins and meanings. A safe non-directive dialogue is incorporated to gently support the client in their process. Some clients have reported that a few Phoenix Rising sessions accomplished more for them than many years of standard therapy.

Yoga Teacher Training Facilitator 2014: This program is designed for both student or teacher. Its emphasis is on the therapeutic, transformational aspects of yoga both physically and emotionally. Students and teachers will learn the skills to enhance and deepen their ability to teach or practice yoga in a heartful way.
