Mary Alison came highly recommended to me and with good reason. She introduced me to Spinal Flow to work on persistent lower back pain. After several sessions, I am experiencing an amazing reduction in pain, increased spinal mobility, a sense of ease and overall well-being. I feel very lucky to have found such a gifted, kind and skilled practitioner.

Throughout the Spinal Flow session I felt pain/discomfort releasing down my arms, shoulders and legs. Some emotional releases happened, and my whole body felt complete relaxation after the releases. A wonderful experience with a caring practitioner.

At the end of my Spinal Flow session, I felt like 10 pounds of weight was removed from my shoulders and neck. I felt energy and openness between my shoulder blades as well as fluidity in my neck, and the stiffness in my lower back was gone! Mary is awesome!

In April 2023, Mary came to the Maison des Collines many times to give massages to a loved one who was receiving end-of-life care and had requested these. Given with tremendous respect, compassion and a magic touch, the care offered by Mary brought our loved one immense comfort and end-of-life peace. It was truly exceptional to have Mary at our side. She is such a competent professional who had the capacity to fit seamlessly within our family and support us during this difficult time.

Mary is my go-to person for massage. She is the RMT I most trust to handle my sensitivity to energy.
I came in this week, just totally strung out on stress. I was hardly able to eat and everything I did eat was burning in my stomach. There was so much stress in my body, I was starting to feel numb and stiff as a board. Mary patiently worked her way in under my defenses with her amazing ability to tune in and work at just the right depth.
She blended in some Craniosacral therapy tissue releases at my kidneys/adrenals on overdrive, and later again at my upper back. Sometimes we just want our massage therapist to keep rubbing....but she was wise enough to tune into my body and realize my stress was in my nervous system, not just my muscles, and that the muscles were'nt going to let go until the nervous system settled down! Indeed, I felt myself drop down into a much more connected, centred place. I left feeling like she had really interrupted my distress, helped me to begin to replenish, and I felt like I could think straight again!
She has the hands of an Angel, and the soul of a Wise Woman.

There are Healers .... and then there is Mary Alison. You have worked on many levels dear Mary from releasing blockages and tension in joints to assisting me breathe more effortlessly. You know intuitively exactly where you need to heal and are always mindful of your patient's needs.
Blessings enfold you in the same light that you so generously share with others.

I have been enjoying the powerful physical and spiritual benefits of full-body therapeutic massages with Mary Alison Cohen for five years. I am an elder woman, and these regular massages have contributed mightily to maintaining flexibility, litheness and overall fitness. When I sustained an injury (dislocated shoulder) Mary Alison’s massages definitely contributed to effective healing. Mary Alison combines strength, sensitivity and nurturing in an amazing healing combination which enhances my general well-being. I have recommended Mary Alison to many friends and acquaintances and the affirmation has been universal.

I have a recurring back problem that usually puts me out of commission for days. However, the last time it hit me I turned to Mary for cranial sacral therapy and the results were astonishing: I was snowshoeing with my dog the next day! I don't pretend to understand cranial sacral treatment -- it's unlike any massage I've had -- but Mary certainly works magic with it.

Mary Alison's 'Hot Rocks' massage rocks!
In addition to Mary Alison's skillful and healing regular massages, the Hot Stone Massage adds an element of warmth and energy to the experience. Stress evaporated and I came away with a renewed sense of peacefulness.
TLC is MA's innate gift to us. Much appreciation for all you do,

I want to thank you for another wonderful massage. Your special intuitive touch always works its magic, for which I am truly grateful. I have had massages from many qualified massage therapists, but you are the only one I now book a massage with. My husband feels the same way and we would recommend you to anyone, while singing your praises. Thank you so very much.
Warm hugs,

Mary est une massothérapeute exceptionnelle et unique dans son approche. Elle sait lire mon énergie comme si j'étais un livre ouvert et ainsi elle répond à mes besoins à plusieurs niveaux. Même si j'habite à plus de 30 minutes, le sentiment de bien-être qu'elle m'apporte vaut vraiment le détour.
