Testimonials
"Mari is an amazing BrainGym Therapist. I've seen Mari professionally for BrainGym work over a dozen times easily with a different goal each time. Her intuitive nature, genuine care and attention to the details is what makes the BrainGym work so powerful. At times the change is subtle and becomes part of your natural way of being. So much so you think nothing happened, except you're a much more functional human with less emotional baggage! duh! Other times, as its happened with me, I feel the huge powerful shift instantly and walk out of her office with a new sense of being and balance.
Some of the goals I've happily met with her were, 1. Improving my endurance in running 2. feeling inspired to wake up early 3. overcoming back pain caused by tough Tae Kwon Do training 4. relieving stress caused by new learning...to name a few.
Positive, Active, Clear, Energetic ("PACE"). Find your PACE with Mari and be happy."
Myra M., Financial Analyst/Massage Therapist
"Thank you so much for your attention, professionalism and sharing your amazing gift. I went to see Mari May 2016 and I extremely happy to report I saw results right away. The session was 90 min, she was extremely in tune with my needs and how to help me with the limiting thoughts that were coming up for me from my past. It was my first time to a BrainGym session with her but I immediately felt safe and connected to her, which allowed me to share more, and create a healing environment. Mari gave me practical exercises to do at home to continue the Brain Gym healing that I am convinced works and allows me to think clearer and help me manifest what I want!!! YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS AMAZING WARRIOR PRINCESS!!! Honored and blessed to experience her gift."

"I went in a week ago because I was having trouble shifting between near and far vision and wanted to get some Brain Gym exercises to help.Mari was super nice, very thorough, and professional. She didn't have a pre-canned system that she followed no matter what, instead she had a framework she followed and customized everything to my issues and goals.
A week later without doing my exercises nearly as much as I should I can still switch between reading and distance vision far better than I could before going to see her.
I would totally recommend anyone that is interested in Brain Gym pay her a visit (and most everyone could benefit from Brain Gym wether they know it or not)!"

"I'm so grateful for Mari and the Brain Gym work she does. I took Mari's brain gym workshop to help my 7 year old daughter to her because she'd been struggling with reading in an unusual way. Her comprehension was excellent but her fluency was poor. It was unclear to her teachers what was the issue. We wondered if it was visual tracking as she seemed to get difficult words but mistake easy words but the evaluation for that didn't show major issues. The extra help she was getting in school didn't make much of a difference and she was starting to say she was bad at reading and didn't want to try anymore. Immediately after I took Mari's workshop and did a few activities with my daughter reading fluently became almost instantly easier for my daughter. She needed the brain exercises to help coordinate her eyes and brain so she could take in the information at the same rate as she processed it. It was truly fascinating and amazing and such a relief as a mother who wants her child to feel good about reading. Every so often she needs a tune up but she's happy to do the activities because she sees that they help her. Mari is also a great role model for how to speak to children in a respectful and productive way to help them best learn."
Shirin I., Physical Therapist/Mom
"Mari is an incredible BrainGym therapist. In a matter of couple of weeks of working with her I started feeling a lot more relaxed, grounded and clear. I came to her completely unaware of what BrainGym is and now after it I can't stop recommending to others! You can't go wrong with Mari!"
Yoav C., Business Owner
"Mari is a ROCKSTAR. I had one session with her to enable me to be more effective and present at work and I noticed results the following week in how I responded to situations that in the past would have been very stressful. I was so surprised that I wasn't reacting that I kept asking myself why is this thing that usually would bother me doesn't and I was an instant believer in Mari's work as the only thing I had changed was that hour and a half I did with Mari of exercises that I will confess I don't completely understand how they work but the point is I got the results I wanted. in fact every time I think of an issue I want to solve, I ask Mari as she provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise that more people need to know about to help their lives be what they really desire it to be. Thanks Mari!!!"

"Mari has been amazing. Throughout my life I've dealt with a great deal of anxiety and inattention, and I've tried a lot of different things to help myself in these areas. What I personally like about Brain Gym is that it is active... involving actual movements -- perfect for someone like me who has struggled to "sit still". I've only been doing Brain Gym for a couple of months but I have definitely noticed improvements in my state of mind. I feel much more relaxed throughout the day, and the exercises are easy and simple so I have them at my disposal.
I actually look forward to my sessions with Mari. I cannot say this about my psychiatrist!! She has been extremely attentive to my needs, and the very small investment I have made thus far has come back to me ten-fold."

"Brain Gym is a must-do for anyone that feels like they want clarity and control over their thoughts. I was skeptical at first but after completing the workshop, it was well worth it. My thought process is now much more positive, motivated and efficient. This experience has truly changed my perspective on how I live my life. Thank you Mari!"

"I've known Mari for years and have watched her growth from the infant stages of her studies to finding her strength, confidence and 'right on' assessment of the different things that are going on in the body and mind that need to be addressed and integrated. What makes her an expert now is her unending search for answers in her own body and mind. Her dedication and commitment to her work have inspired me to commit to my own, almost daily activity, of Braingym exercises. I also seek her assistance when I come to my own inner blocks. She gives me advice and things always change for me when I follow through. She's got her own brand of healing/ transformational work that I keep coming back to because it works."
-Aurora de Blas/ LA Nidra
"Being in Mari’s presence one feels nurtured and cared for. Previously I had tried massage, acupuncture and chiropractic, which often aggravated my symptoms. Doing brain gym with Mari was both gentle and effective which is just what I needed.
I went to Mari after a car accident left me in chronic pain. At the start of our first session I was experiencing an intense headache, nausea and vertigo. On a scale from one to ten, my pain was at about a “nine”. Afterwards, the pain was reduced significantly to a more manageable “five” where I was not as overwhelmed by my symptoms.
Mari also gave me some exercises to do on my own. At the start of one month my vestibular balance was rated below average. In one month my balance improved to above average. Combined with physical therapy and gentle yoga, I believe brain gym played a role in helping me regain my sense of balance."

"As an instructor, Mari has a wonderful way of making complex themes seem not only simple, but essential. Her teaching style is highly inclusive and allows for an enhanced knowledge of the self along with the knowledge of the covered material.
In a private session, one experiences the full force of Mari’s intuitive abilities as well as her ability to integrate all of the vast information available to her. She tailors a unique and continually changing program to each client’s needs that proceeds at the client’s own pace. This allows for the necessary time for personal integration and recovery. One never feels pressured, but the seemingly subtle techniques create huge results."

"Recently I worked with Mari to help with severe muscle pain in my legs due to a new exercise regime I just started. Prior to seeing Mari, I tried therapeutic massage for the pain but the pain kept coming back. I was doubtful to consider Brain Gym for muscle pain but my doubts started to dissipate as the pain disappeared only after ½ hour into our session. The next day I was pain free! What I love about her work is that she helps gets to the root of the problem. In my case, as I later learned, it was imbalanced muscle function. The effects of what Mari does are real and the results long-lasting."

I worked privately with Mari for many sessions and found her warm, engaged, and so very good at what she does. Her deep expertise coupled with her caring and tailored approach made her a joy to work with and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

"As a New York City high school English teacher, I am interested in how to help my students learn and grow their minds and become well-balanced human beings. I happen to work a block from Ground Zero and ran with my students away from my school about 5 minutes before the first tower fell on 9/11. After that tragedy, I put all my focus on my students and just kept going. About four years later, I had the good fortune to take a Brain Gym class with Mari. I had been allowed to come back to continue work on my dissertation at Columbia University, but I felt quite blocked and my writing wasn't coming. After Mari's insight and her ability to see what I needed, I was able to start writing in a serious way again and continue with my dream of getting my doctorate and completing my research work. Mari has an ability to what I call "see" where each individual in her class is and what support is called for. It comes from the individual, but by her active listening, she really hears who her students are and the goals they aspire to, and then she creatively helps each one move forward. After that initial experience and learning about how my body could help me, I met with Mari a number of times to gain her help as I have moved toward many new goals. I feel that Mari has helped me unlock something essential within me and so the journey of life has become more joyful and I am more able as I walk along because of my work with Mari."
