Oh hey, I’m Mary. Author. Podcaster. Nervous System Educator. Believer in small things that actually help.
If you feel a lot, notice even more, and carry all the things, hi. Same.
You’re wildly welcome here.
I share simple, real-life support: grounded, science-backed stress relief and body-first tools that help you feel more like yourself, right in the middle of real life.
I’m a longtime educator, a mom, and a deeply sensitive human who works with the nervous system (instead of trying to override it). These are the tools I use every day in my own life and home, and in my work with children, families, and educators.
You can check out Soften the Edges, the beloved science-meets-soul micro-podcast, right here.
Here’s a little more about me:
I hold an M.A. in Teaching and have 16+ years of experience in education
I’ve published 10 award-winning science children’s books
I help big-hearted humans (like you) shift out of stress and into calm
My work blends:
Nervous system education that’s down-to-earth and zero percent intimidating
Body-based tools that take less than five minutes
Permission to be where you are, exactly as you are
Zero pressure to “fix” yourself
Because here’s the thing: you’re not broken.
You’re a human with a beautifully protective nervous system doing its best in a chaotic world. And when we can support it (even just a little), everything gets more doable.
So whether you’re here for a quick audio, a deeper breath, or a longer path home to yourself…I’m really glad you’re here.
Let’s make it kind. Let’s make it work. Let’s do it together.
💛
Mary
