Indian Head Massage Course.
I just want to say a huge thank you too Mary for your time in teaching me on the Indian massage course, it’s my 2nd course with Mary and on completion of both course I have gained so much knowledge not only on massage but on life, I am truly grateful for all your insights, knowledge and wisdom, you are an amazing person/teacher bringing so much fun to learning. I am so grateful that my journey has guided me to cross paths with obus and have the pleasure of meeting Mary.
Group Soundbath.
I had a great afternoon, promise to come back and you’re amazing!
I really enjoyed the sound bath, thanks for a great experience. I look forward to the next one!
I found the soundbath to be an incredible experience. Mary has a great energy and it was like nothing I’ve ever done. So relaxing and meditative all the while tapping into the senses with varied and wonderful sounds used throughout. I will definitely be back.
Really enjoyed the soundbath last night. Slept like a baby for the first time in months, thanks so much.
I really liked your words. They resonated with me. So continued success with your important work…and thank you again for giving me my first Sound Bath experience.
I had an amazing experience at the soundbath- it was totally different to last month… amazing energy in the room…slept like a log and felt very calm all day yesterday.
Self care days
Thanks so much for Sunday. I really enjoyed the day and so did Mam. I definitely will try and come to another one in a few months time so please keep me on your email list.
Thanks so much again.
I am very much a beginner at yoga, and a reluctant one at that, still I was in such need of a day of self-care that isn’t a million miles away from my home that I attended the Holistic Life ‘Your Day of Self-Care’ in the hope that I’d get space and time to do the yoga my way, and I got it. The day contains 2 hours of yin yoga, 2 hours of relaxation yoga, and an hour of sound bath. All these were new to me. Mary’s approach to the whole day suited me, she is calm, friendly, and energetic but is incredibly mindful of your needs – mine being to unwind from months of work and near-burnout, and to reconnect with my mind and body. Mary’s kind attention is overlaid with a friendly good humour that had me smiling in recognition. I really felt at home there, I was able to pull out a book and a journal and doodle for awhile in between sessions. The yoga was very very doable and pleasurable, and I walked away feeling more in touch with myself than I had in a long time, so much so that I’m looking at the diary and planning to return.
What a treat yesterday’s self-care retreat was for me, thank you so much for all your work in making it so special, you are a natural!
I have been a ” zen goddess” all week!!
No actually in truth I really felt I carried that peace from the session in to the week.
I am always open to every type of yoga and healing modality going but strangely had never done restorative or a sound bath .
I love the concept of just being ” at rest”.
Thank you Mary, you’re very good at what you do and created a lovely space for me ( and the rest…but funny I got so into myself I barely noticed the other people!
I feel this is fab for me as I’m a nurse also and it’s quite hard to turn off my “radars”….
Yin Yoga.
I really enjoyed the practice yesterday. I particularly enjoyed the straps and stretching in the first session.
I hope to join you again for the flexibility and mobility workshop.
Thank you so much for yesterday, firstly I had the best sleep in ages.
Then this morning I really got the benefit of working on balancing my ANS yesterday. It was just little things really the kids are at a play therapy camp and it was raining my son had grown out of his welly boots and I couldn’t find parking, all the while work was ringing me asking me to come in earlier.
I know in the past at that point I’d be really feeling the stress on my body, but like it didn’t happen. It was like my social engagement stayed online so I was able to say no to work without guilt immediately creeping in and find the gold in parking further away from the camp as I just made a game out of it for the kids ” I said OK explores, our mission to get to camp is to jump over all these lakes n ponds” so we did that and had fun.
I am very grateful for yesterday and the benefits I have received.

Had an appointment with Mary and had an amazing holistic treatment tailored exactly to my needs
Very personal treatment and catered to my needs at my late stage in pregnancy.
I floated out of the place! After a hugely stressful week, this treatment was unreal. Will be booking in again for next week.
I loved my visit with Mary, it was so relaxing and I literally floated out of the building. I’ve promised myself I’ll try to book in at least once a month for some self care.
I had my first Reflexology treatment with Mary and cannot recommend her highly enough. Mary tailored my treatment to meet my needs and even used tuning forks, it was all so relaxing and I think I even floated out of there. Thanks so much Mary I felt extremely relaxed and grounded after and had a soundest sleep that night. Can’t wait for my next treatment.

Left feeling so relaxed.
First time for Sound Therapy Session and first time to meet Mary., although I’ve been to Obus many times for other treatments. I have been through a difficult few weeks and was drawn to Sound Therapy and I am so happy that I went. Mary made me feel safe and it was a beautiful, relaxing, grounding experience. I would highly recommend this Therapy and 5 Stars to Mary for her healing and guidance. Much gratitude Clare
Mary explained everything really clearly and we discussed other treatments that would be beneficial also, it was my first time for the ear candle treatment and will definitely be back.
Another great session with Mary. Always feel great afterwards. Thanks a mill.
Beautiful massage!!! Mary is a fantastic tutor!!! Highly recommend this course.

“Loved Module One with Mary. She has such great knowledge and passion for sound therapy that’s both inspiring and infectious! Highly recommend this course and so looking forward to module two.”
(Certificate in Sound Healing)
“Thank you for a lovely healing session on Saturday Mary, mam & I thoroughly enjoyed it and are feeling the positive benefits.”
“We will both be there for the next sound bath!”
“Thank you Mary, I so enjoyed yesterday’s sound bath, Thanks a mill, it’s always brilliant and so relaxing and rejuvenating on so many levels.”
“So last Wednesday I got to experience over 2 hours of wonderful Yin and Restorative Yoga with the amazing Mary. She has workshops coming up – do yourself a favour. Thank you Mary.”
“I care holistically for those who are vulnerable and need my skills and support at a very fragile time at the end of a life. The time is valued. How I approach and interact really matters. To be good enough to hear the needs of others and to respond effectively, I need to keep me well nurtured. Restorative yoga gives me a monthly space to be restored. I turn up and I am guided and I am minded. Mary facilitates a safe space for me to be and somehow the body heals all the chaos and impaired areas of my days and nights. How amazing that what I need just arrives to me when I need it. Thankfully I can receive this wonderful gift of presence and place, that enables me to be more then I could ask or imagine.”
(Restorative yoga)
“Thanks again for sharing your energy with us all. Found the course to be very relaxing, emotional at times but overall very beneficial. Look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“I’d highly recommend booking yourself a soundbath, take 60mins out for yourself.”
“I really enjoyed yesterday. It was such an experience…I will definitely be doing another sound bath. I was amazed by it and even convinced my husband that he would love it.”
“Many thanks for Saturday. Really, really enjoyed the sessions and looking forward to the next ones.”
“Thank you very much, we all enjoyed Saturday evening’s so much!”
“Thank you for a lovely day. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was fascinating – I loved it.”
“Your passion for sound really shines through.” (Diploma in Sound Healing)
“Thank you so much for all the assistance you gave me – it was my first introduction to Yoga and I really enjoyed the class. Yours is a very gentle approach and in time I could see myself benefiting from the different positions.”
“I really enjoyed the session. I’ll be visiting again.”
“Thanks for that Mary. Enjoyed the workshop and look forward to my next one!”
“Your Restorative Yoga Class in Donabate did what it said on the tin. Thank you most sincerely. I have been stiffness and pain free since!”
“Thank you Mary. I was not restored, but renewed! I so needed the class and it is only after that I understood how much. I needed new skills to assist sleep. I felt my hormones were more at ease. I was calmer, like an on looker who could impact without getting too involved.”
“I really enjoyed your class and look forward to the next one!”
“Beautiful space and pure tranquility during the Yin Yoga and Soundbath with Mary. My first time & I just loved the ease of the yoga moves and how Mary explained she went along. The sound healing absolutely beautiful, lying and listening to the sounds of the bowls and the chimes. Mary’s passion, her love, her energy shines through. Highly recommend and will be back. Refreshed and recharged for the day.”

“Would recommend doing the Urban Retreat. it’s a fantastic 2 days.”
“Thanks to the fabulous Mary our instructor for this weekend of discovery for us, I learned so much and used muscles I did not know I had!”
“So thanks again to Mary, we’ll certainly be back.”
“Thank you Mary for an amazing insight into the world of yoga and meditation and to myself. A great setting, a fantastic tutor and a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this.”

“That was a little slice of heaven.”
“Really enjoyed it was exactly what I needed and I will 100% see you again.
“Thanks so much for the class I loved it. Hope to do a class soon!”
“I really loved the session on Sat. Thank you for being so kind and attentive.”
“I loved your trilogy of yoga classes. It was the first time I actually enjoyed yoga. Previously the pace of the class moved too quickly for me and I would get frustrated by my own inflexibility and just give up! In particular I enjoyed the yin class and will definitely practice this at home. You make the experience really enjoyable by advocating the ‘this is not a competition’ approach to it.”
“I loved our session today. I would never have tried it except that my daughter spotted it and booked and then couldn’t go,so suggested I go. I didn’t think Yoga was for me but really took to it. Because of the way you introduced it and emphasised the importance of going at your own pace, I totally got in touch with my body and did that, oblivious to what anyone else was doing .”
“Attended the beginners Hatha workshop today. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and recommend. Thanks so much.”
