Client Experiences
What people notice about private sessions
Cognitive clarity after head trauma
I run two businesses. I've had five concussions and two falls flat on my back. By the time I met Mary, my short-term memory was gone, my childhood dyslexia was back, and I could no longer do math in my head. I went through the whole brain integration program. The testing was very thorough. As of today, I am clear of dyslexia, and not only can I see numbers in my head, but I can do the math. It's like I can breathe again. I feel like my old self. Thank you, Mary, for putting me back together again.
Feeling re-set and centered
When Mary works with me, something shifts in a way that is hard to put into words. She calls it somatic brain integration, but it is so much more than that to me. It's as if I am re-set, re-centered, and re-focused — and the stress can release in just a minute or two. Because her skill set is so specialized, it is not widely known… Perhaps that is what makes what she has to offer even more special. I have worked with several types of body-centered therapists, but Mary is above and beyond in the way she has supported me. I am truly grateful for the discovery of somatic brain integration and somatic experiencing with Mary and the way I feel better in my body and mind. Mary is exquisitely attuned with her clients, and I highly recommend her.
Pain management
Mary Underwood is very capable and knowledgeable. She listens and asks questions and researches until she finds the right solution. She has helped me with pain management. I recommend her highly.
Overall mental & physical health
Throughout the sessions, Mary has been dedicated to research and deepening her understanding of her work. Mary has an unsurpassed ability to relate to people sincerely and connect at a deeper and more personal level than many of the professionals around her. There has been a tremendous improvement in my overall mental and physical health since working with Mary.
Support for anxiety, depression & anger
I highly recommend Mary Underwood for brain integration. My son suffers from anxiety, depression and anger issues. Mary was able to assist with calming him down and helping him lead a more fulfilled and balanced life. She had great advice and we were able to put her recommendations to use.
Faster thinking & greater calm
Since working with Mary, I’m able to think faster and learn new things quicker. I feel more calm and happier overall.
Easing hip and back pain in a demanding season
My son competes in high-level sports and had been dealing with hip and back pain during training that Mary helped ease. The pain would often flare mid-race during competition, and Mary was able to work with him on the spot, which helped him. It made a real difference in a demanding season.
Feeling calmer after a stressful incident
I came in after a stressful incident that left me feeling anxious and on edge. Working with Mary helped me feel calmer and more settled. Her support was just what I needed to move forward.
