Hi there -
You’ve arrived at the right time, and the right place.
If you’re here, you’ve likely been carrying too much for too long — in your body, your life, your leadership. And something in you knows: it’s time to do things differently.
I’m Mary Morrison — founder of How We Heal, a practitioner of Chinese medicine, and a teacher of sensory-based practices that help women reconnect to clarity, power, and health.
I’ve spent over 18 years walking alongside clients as they navigate stress, illness, transitions, and the deeper question of what now?
My work blends time-tested medical traditions with modern tools for embodiment and leadership. Together, we listen to what your body is saying — and translate it into calm, grounded next steps.
“I help women return to clarity, calm, and their own inner rhythm.”
What I Know
Your body isn’t a machine to fix or push through. It’s intelligence — an ally for navigating the pressures and patterns of modern life.
Symptoms are not failures. They’re signals.
Our job isn’t to override them. It’s to listen, and respond with presence. That’s where true leadership and healing begins.
MEET MARY
I was born under the big blue sky of rural Maine — where long winters, quiet forests, and a deep reverence for nature shaped the way I move through the world.
That listening became a lifelong practice — one that now guides everything I do, from acupuncture and Qigong to organizational coaching and group retreats.
Over the years, I’ve worked with women and leaders around the world. I’ve helped them move through stress, grief, burnout, and the invisible weight of trying to hold everything together.
What I bring is rare: the ability to sense patterns others miss — and guide people back to a felt sense of clarity and direction.
This isn’t therapy. This isn’t performance.
This is practice. And it changes everything.
My MOTTOS
We will be deliberate and in intentional practice.
Your best work and contribution is yet to come.
And sometimes, your best work shows up in someone else's becoming.
Sometimes the most meaningful confirmation of this work walks back through the door — not because they need more, but because they've built something and want you in it.
The Ripple Network was founded by a former client, Sabine Hutchison. Through our time together, she found her new vision, and direction, and ultimately wrote a book, Beyond the Ladder. Sabine then built a platform to help other women do the same — and invited me to facilitate and coach within it.
The Ripple Network supports women in bringing their ideas forward — through keynotes, TED talks, leadership presentations, and any moment where their voice needs to be fully present.
