Mary Jane Robinson is a warrior. She is a mom, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, and healer. Mary is determined – accustomed to putting on the Armor of God and going to battle.
After not feeling well in 2014, this always-on-the-go woman had a diagnosis that not only changed her perspective on life but also deepened her commitment to the one she already had. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed that Mary had acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A relapse in 2017 determined that an allogeneic stem cell transplant was the only option for long-term survival. During her fight for life, Mary was introduced to Reiki – a Japanese form of energy healing – and eventually became a Reiki Master/Teacher. From there, she began learning about Healing Touch, which is another energy healing modality involving therapeutic touch. In 2018, Mary completed a two-year program through Prairie Star Center for Herbal Studies and became a certified herbalist. In the fall of 2020, Mary was named an ordained minister through the Universal Brotherhood Movement, Inc.
Mary is also the founder of the Sensory Courtyard, where “Seeds Sown Today Bring Blossoms Tomorrow.” The Sensory Courtyard covers approximately three thousand square feet and is located in Fremont, Nebraska. This interactive space consists of specialized educational areas, each designed to spark the senses in a different way.
