Having been raised a Southern Baptist, Mary Elizabeth's greatest influence was her grandfather on her father's side who was an active participant in the Pentecostal Holiness movement. Through him she was exposed to the supernatural, prophecy, laying on of hands for healing and speaking in tongues. Because of this she has researched and studied many varied belief systems, philosophies, mythologies and psychologies the world over in search of Truth. She has been active since 1962 as both student and teacher of many ancient spiritual paths. These have included Egyptian, Celtic, Native American, Hawaiian Kahuna, Druidism and Wicca traditions as well as other indigenous cultures around the world. Through her grandmother on her father's side Mary learned to openly communicate with plants, animals, rocks, trees and weather elementals giving her connections to both heaven and earth.

Integrated Awareness with Connie Newton (a technique for balancing the right and left hemispheres of the brain) facilitating whole brain functioning has allowed Mary to develop numerous techniques to assist her clients with their growth, Vivation-Rebirthing with Jim Leonard, Leonard Orr and Tom Kenyon (an ancient Tibetan breath technique for processing emotions) has given her insights into facilitating movement through feelings that might otherwise immobilize us.
