What People Are Saying

  • If you want a guide who has truly walked through the fire herself, trust in Mary. She has done the work, slayed the dragons, and endured the dark nights of her own soul; all while being a nurturing mother of courage and light to all who cross her path. I’ve seen this woman wear a lot of different hats successfully. Whether professionally or personally, Mary never forgets that it’s all spiritual.

    Wanetah Walmsley, actress and producer

  • Open your heart and she listens. But, she doesn't just listen to the sound of your voice; she listens to your hunger, to your longing and opens the space for you to discover what you already know - your inner strength, your creativity, your gifts. Mary Thoma understands the road of self-discovery because she has walked it. Her experiences, her training and her God-given gifts make her a magnificent guide!

    Betsy Eaves

She is a devoted seeker and light-hearted companion, sure to imbue this Circle with the energy of divine love! You will be alchemized by the transmission of her wisdom, creativity, and good humor! I am deeply blessed to share the spiritual journey with Mary and can only imagine the inevitable fecundity of this holy circle
