Mary D. Nelson

A bit of history on LaStone Therapy: In August 1993 Mary began to develop LaStone methodologies; guided by her spirit guide San Juanette and her deep commitment to aid her clients on the path of healing by way of temperatures and vibrations. LaStone Therapy became a mainstream technique that was sought by all levels in the healing arts industry worldwide.

Over the next eighteen years, Mary and a core group of sixty three instructors based in eleven different countries, taught over 30,000 students in the art of LaStone Therapy. She and seven key instructors continued to fine tune the process of LaStone Therapy into twenty-seven different modalities that reached various body therapists such as deep tissue, sports massage, reflexology, Shiatsu, prenatal, spa treatments, facial and nail technicians and much more. At first the spas around the world thought stone therapy was a fad and would lose popularity in a few years. Little did they know that Mary and her instructors would change the way of the Healing Arts Industry worldwide.

In 2014 Mary began to develop seven new courses based on the beginnings of her personal stone dance, which are her passion and the foundation of energy work and sound therapy in her stone sessions. As of April 25, 2016 StoneDancing™ is certified as an NCBTMB Approved Provider.
