Mary Straub Pargas, CYT
When I was sick for three years in my mid-twenties, the doctors could not find the reason for my pain and suggested I have my organs removed and apply for disability. Through yoga, diet, holistic healing, and embracing a new way of relating to the world, I healed myself in 9 months. Now that I am 40, with many years of lifestyle changes, certifications, and spiritual study, I dedicate myself to the service of women and children, hoping to show others a path of peace for the
mind, body, and spirit. ~Mary
