Mary Bohan Sather is a Licensed Massage Therapist and creator of Neuro Somatic Integration Technique™ (N-SIT™), a therapeutic massage methodology combining anatomical expertise with nervous system informed bodywork. Her individualized approach brings together precise therapeutic work, progressive relaxation and sensory elements to meet the needs of each person on the table.
Mary works with a wide range of clients, from those seeking relaxation and regular body maintenance to those experiencing chronic pain, muscular tension, headaches, jaw and neck discomfort, and stress. Sessions may incorporate deep tissue massage, cupping, PRRT, Reiki, PNF stretching and other techniques as appropriate.
She specializes in supporting clients experiencing grief, chronic stress, anxiety and depression, as well as those living with PTSD. Her focus is on the ways these experiences can show up physically through tension, holding patterns, guardedness and difficulty relaxing. Comfort, communication and personal boundaries are always prioritized. This work is intended to complement, not replace, appropriate mental health care.
Sensory experience is also an important part of Mary’s approach. Because the nervous system is constantly receiving and responding to sensory information, she thoughtfully incorporates elements such as hot and cold stones, Kansa tools, gua sha, aromatherapy, infused hot towels, reflex hammer techniques and infrared light therapy to help the body settle and relax.
Mary is known for working deeply without relying on excessive force. Her anatomical expertise allows her to access deeper structures with the precision of a scalpel, targeting the tissues that need attention while minimizing unnecessary pressure on surrounding areas.
Whether you’re seeking relief from physical pain or emotional strain, Mary’s work supports the whole person.
