“I’ve counseled couples for over 30 years and I’ve found the work of Steven Stosny and CompassionPower® programs to be refreshing and innovative. I have complete confidence in Mary Anderson as a practitioner of this work.

I believe in Mary’s abilities and qualifications and have a great deal of respect and appreciation for her commitment to sharing these skills with others. Mary not only understands this work, but she lives it. The feedback I’ve heard from Mary’s clients indicate that their experience with Mary and the HEALS™ process has been a positive, life changing experience.”
