These experiences have refined her awareness of the frequencies of nature, especially those of plant sentience, and how it is connected to the human body. By witnessing ancient traditions, she has come to understand nature on a deeply intuitive and visceral level, and by experiencing how ancient communities interact with plants, she has come to understand their growth patterns, means of thriving, and inherent nourishing properties. Through her work, she is applying this experiential learning to our modern world in a meaningful and accessible way, and her desire to restore earth balance through deeper alignment with nature rests at the core of her work.

Mary has graduated from The College of Charleston, The Southeastern School of Neuromuscular Therapy, California School of Herbal Studies, Living Light Culinary Institute, and Occidental Arts & Ecology Center Permaculture Design Program. She serves as a consultant in the fields of Clinical Herbalism, Plant Spirit Medicine, Herbal Product Development and Permaculture Design.

These experiences merged with a mission to spread awareness about plant-based remedies in the creation of medicinal clothing label Seam Siren. Mary currently works with her label to empower consumers to understand that their everyday choices have the ability to positively affect the health and quality of their lives, as well as the lives of others.

Mary has been a guest speaker, teacher and panelist at events including SXSW, The International Herb Symposium, Fashion Revolution, The Fibershed Wool & Fine Fiber Symposium, and The Yoga Alliance’s Advanced Teacher Training with Alaya Yoga. She continues learning within the plant-based wisdom traditions she practices and is passionate about spreading awareness about these modalities of healing and creating beauty in the world
