Mary Alice Mastrovito, Certified Forest Therapy Guide
I have been a liturgical music director, a teacher in a city public school system, taught adult ed programs, and experienced a fun filled year teaching little ones in pre-school. I have worked in retail garden centers, a botanical garden, created custom flower arrangements and designed and maintained gardens in my own company, Gardenfocus, Inc.
During all this, my interest in health, well being, inner growth and spirituality led me to gain certification in Soul Coaching®, begin studying the healing possibilities of Flower Essences, and to become a Reiki Master in the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage.
Most recently, I have completed the training and certification process to become a Bach Flower Registered Practitioner, completed a magnificent two year Ministerial Training Program through the Center For Sacred Studies that resulted in my ordination as an inter-faith minister and have become certified as a Forest Therapy Guide.
To an outsider, this may look like a wandering path, but for me, it has been a natural progression of personal evolution, allowing me to share myself in meaningful ways that combine my love of music, healing in its broadest sense, and respect for nature in a way that is unique to me.
