Mary introduces Yoga as an effective form of exercise and stimulation for those coping with various stages and challenges of Alzheimers. She's
currently working with the participants on John's Island and will be training many volunteers so Yoga may become part of every respite program
here in the Greater Charleston area. Our St. John's Firefighters are learning to strengthen their bodies and emotions while relieving stress through the power of Yoga and movement therapy. Soon Yoga will come into the schools of John's Island as Mary promotes this medium as an effective tool to empower the students in body and mind while strenghtening emotions.
Mary is also very active in fundraising events with a focus of proceeds supporting Single Women of all ages of the Greater Charleston area who may
be struggling in various ways with little support. Wellness services will be provided for these women in an effort to infuse, inspire, restore and empower each and every "Single" Woman so she may become stronger and more resilient in mind, body & spirit ... and rise above her temporary challenges.
