Radical, integrative approaches to healing, from ketamine to movement therapy to Vedic meditation, plus the magic of retreat travel with Mary Firestone
Mary Firestone is on a mission to let others know there is light on the other side of the darkness of PTSD. Her book, Trusting the Dawn, is the story of triumphant transformation through healing, inspired by her experience of surviving the tragic Montecito mudslide, which washed away her home and more than a hundred others.
After graduating from Princeton and working in Julia Robert's production office, Mary earned a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, igniting her passion for alternative medicine, energy healing, Reiki, yoga, acupuncture, and flower remedies.
