About the Therapist

Mary Grove

Mary Grove was born and raised in Exeter and her interest in complementary therapies began as a teenager when she became dissatisfied with conventional medicine to treat a number of complaints. At this time she started experiencing various complementary therapies and buying and using essential oils. Her interest in the human condition and mind body spirit connection lead her to studies in Philosophy, Psychology and Human Biology, then a degree in Social Anthropology with a particular focus on the understanding of health and illness in other cultures.
She has spent much of the last 14 years travelling the five continents of the world and experiencing different ways of life. She has worked on various social and environmental projects as a volunteer in Israel, India, Ecuador, Bolivia, Australia and also in paid work in Europe, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.
Having many years experience using essential oils, she qualified in Hoilstic Massage, Aromatherapy and Reflexology in 2004, and towards the end of that year she studied Ayurvedic Medicine in India with a traditional Keralan Teacher. She took Usui Reiki level 2 In New Zealand in the following year.
Her particular interests within the therapies that she practices are stress reduction and relaxation, and the use of essential oils not only for physical complaints but also to treat the emotions and spirit.
She is currently taking a 2 year course in Craniosacral Therapy at Karuna institute on Dartmoor. The principles of this work can be combined with your chosen treatment for added benefits

Mary enjoys practicing these therapies and finds this work highly rewarding. She also benefits from the knowledge that she is easing away tensions and assisting people to take responsibility for their health and well being.

She looks forward to meeting you!
