Mary P. Shriver (she/her) is a Resilience Toolkit Certification Trainer, Certified Provider of Tension/Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®), Certified Massage Practitioner (CMP), and Certified Compassion Fatigue Educator. She holds a B.S. in Psychology from Denison University and has completed extensive additional training in somatic, trauma-informed, and pelvic health modalities.
A native New Yorker, Mary began her career in public relations and marketing, working in both the Las Vegas and Los Angeles markets. She spent a decade as a corporate spokesmodel for companies such as Black & Decker, LG, and Oracle before burnout led her to discover her true calling as a healer.
Mary’s hybrid healing approach blends trauma-sensitive massage with tools from The Resilience Toolkit, with a special emphasis on the therapeutic tremor. This integration of hands-on bodywork and evidence-based mindfulness and movement techniques helps clients achieve deep relaxation and relief from chronic anxiety and pain.
She sees clients at her private office at Fusion Wellness and Physical Therapy in Sherman Oaks, where she specializes in chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and musculoskeletal restrictions. Mary offers fresh solutions to clients experiencing complex “below-the-belt” issues and symptoms related to overlapping autoimmune and chronic conditions, including endometriosis, EDS, ME/CFS, MCS, POTS, SIBO, SIFO, IBS, IC, CRP, and dysautonomia.
Mary’s energy and spirit reflect the deep connection she feels to her work with Lumos Transforms. In her own words: “This catalytic and cutting-edge work finally provides me with a purpose-filled life I’ve pined for since college. It’s the most important thing I’ve ever done and is the last career I see myself having. This is it for me. I am finally home.”
Mary has collaborated with physicians, nurses, and mental health clinicians at hospitals and agencies throughout Los Angeles. As a clinical intern, she facilitated TRE for people experiencing homelessness and addiction at Homeless Health Care Los Angeles. She has also volunteered with burn survivors through the Phoenix Society and joined an international humanitarian response team supporting Typhoon Yolanda survivors, first responders, and clinicians in the Philippines.
She is the Immediate Past Executive Director of the nonprofit TRE For All, supporting TRE Providers and organizations in over 35 countries.
