About Mary Ann
Mary Ann has developed a unique method called neuromuscular patterning. This approach combines active movement exercises with hands-on guidance, engaging clients’ curiosity to achieve better results. Her method is informed by a variety of somatic movement training disciplines, including Laban movement analysis, Rolfing® movement integration, Body-Mind Centering®, craniosacral therapy, Hakomi, and her graduate studies in somatic psychology.
Mary Ann is passionate about both practicing and teaching core stabilization exercises, which she integrates into her structural integration bodywork. Her lessons are easy to understand, making her approach popular among clients and students alike. They often express how rejuvenated, aligned, and balanced they feel after private sessions and movement classes. Engaged clients appreciate the immediate and long-lasting results of her core activation and kinesiology-based methods, which help enhance performance in their daily activities.

EMS Press Art and Illustrations
She has created many graphic and illustrations to provide students with clear visuals of her concepts and anatomically accurate images. As a graduate of the Rolf Institute in 1986, Mary Ann offers her unique perspective on structural integration through the "Core Stabilization in Pain-Free Posture" program. The "block lady" image is Mary Ann's interpretation of the Rolfing block logo, illustrating a joint neutral alignment through the vertical stacking of the major body masses and bony segments.
The Muscle Models
Driven by a strong passion for life-sized and flexible models of human anatomy, Mary Ann developed the Muscle Models to enhance an understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy in her courses.
The Muscle Models improve comprehension for both students and clients. These models attach to skeletons like life-sized puzzle pieces, greatly enriching the educational experience.
从 2012 年到新冠疫情期间，玛丽·安教授舞蹈运动学 专业培训 P 课程常旅客制作公司 (Frequent Flyers Productions) 的节目，这是一家位于科罗拉多州博尔德的空中舞蹈公司和学校。本课程为空中学生提供对关节和肌肉功能的基本了解，其目标是：通过改善肌肉控制和精确度来提高运动效率和表现技能。
每期舞蹈运动学课程开始 对每个学生进行私人运动评估，其中玛丽·安确定每个学生的个人优势和长期运动问题或伤害。运动评估通过解决个人身体挑战和发展他们独特的能力来帮助学生预防受伤。
作为该领域公认的专家，玛丽·安为《科学》杂志撰写了许多文章和专栏。按摩和车身杂志，包括“躯体解剖学”、“谈论触觉”和“运动科学”。她是讲师教科书的特约作者按摩教学，（ABMP 和 LWW，2008 年）；自行出版商体细胞模式， 以及作者；获奖文字治疗运动机能学（皮尔逊，2012）。
治疗运动学 （TK）提供人体运动研究在按摩和车身练习中的实际和相关应用。这是第一本专门针对按摩治疗师的运动学教材之一，它实际上是三本书合二为一：运动学教材、触诊教材和身体力学教材（ISBN # 978-0135077856，768 页）。
注意：培生出版社于 2019 年停止了其按摩治疗系列产品，因此本文以及他们携带的许多其他按摩教科书不再可用。
