It starts with a story and ends with a purpose.
Live Your Truth - Awaken to Who You Are Meant to Be
Everyone deserves to have that deeper understanding of whom they are called to be, unconditionally loved, with so much to offer the world.
Dr. Mary's The Method of Transformation® (MOT®) is an individualized process - a series of coaching sessions - that guides one to design a map and uncover one's purpose to navigate an authentic life.
My purpose is to help you live YOUR purpose.
Â
We are all on a lifelong journey of growth.
Life offers us countless opportunities to discover our true image and cultivate our divine likeness — often through necessary moments of stumbling and rising again.
My own story shifted the moment I finally paused to ask the deeper questions: Who am I, really? What do I truly desire?
When I listened to those questions, my life transitioned. I left behind the career I had built in fashion, and the deep void I once felt disappeared. I no longer needed validation from others, because I became aligned — confident in who I AM and in how I live each day.
It’s never too late to begin. As C.S. Lewis reminds us:
 "You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
 – C.S. Lewis
What is the Method of Transformation®?
The Method of Transformation™ (MOT™) is more than a process — it’s a guided journey back to your truest self.
Developed by Dr. Mary, it draws from the wisdom of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality to help you recognize how the ego quietly pulls you away from who you were born to become.
What is the heart of the MOT?
-
At the heart of the MOT™ is a powerful integration of leading-edge tools for healing and growth:
- The profound self-awareness of the Enneagram.
- The deep emotional healing of Compassionate Inquiry™, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté.
- The brain-body connection of Interpersonal Neurobiology, pioneered by Dr. Daniel Siegel.
Together, they form a compassionate, structured path — one that helps you reconnect with your authentic self and live with greater presence, freedom, and joy.
The MOT Process  Â
The Method of Transformation™ (MOT™) is an eight-session process led over four months in collaboration with Dr. Mary, your compassionate guide.
Each session is intentionally designed to help you uncover patterns, restore your inner alignment, and gently return to your authentic self — the self that knows how to live with clarity, presence, and purpose.
As the layers fall away, you begin to experience the fullness of life and reconnect with who you are truly called to Be.

We saw their confidence and self awareness grow in the trusting and caring environment Mary nurtured with each of them.
They feel empowered!

Speaking with her and hearing her thoughts helped me find new ways to find the quiet place in my head where I can actually hear myself think enough to make decisions that will hopefully keep taking me to the right places for me to be!"
