ABOUT MARIAN
PRESENCE · INTUITION · RESPECT
My path to Whispering Stone has woven together massage therapy, energy work, teaching, and a lifelong practice of making with my hands.
I created Whispering Stone for people who want more than a routine massage—a quiet, respectful space where care is personal, the pace is unhurried, and the whole person is welcomed.
My work brings together therapeutic touch, deep relaxation, careful observation, and an intuitive awareness developed over many years. Every session is shaped around the person in front of me rather than a predetermined routine.
Care begins
with listening.
THE PATH THAT BROUGHT ME HERE
Years of making, listening, and learning.
For more than two decades, my work centered on clay—as a studio potter
and educator. Every piece has its own structure, its own balance, and its own way of revealing what it needs.
I have come to understand the body in much the same way: living, responding, and constantly adapting.
Massage brought these paths together, offering a grounded way to combine skilled touch with presence, intuition, creativity, and genuine human connection.
WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME
Care for the person—not only the tension.
People often arrive carrying more than muscular tension. They may be
overextended, navigating change, moving through grief, or simply longing for a
little quiet in a life that asks too much of them.
My own life has included creative work, teaching, caregiving, loss, change, and new beginnings. Those experiences have deepened my ability to sit comfortably with another person without needing to fix, rush, or fill every silence.
That is the kind of care I want to offer.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Attentive care. An
unhurried pace.
I listen to your words, your
preference, and the quieter
information your body communicates
through breath, movement, and
response to touch.
Pressure is always collaborative. You
are welcome to ask for changes, remain quiet, or arrive exactly as you are that day.
My intenetion is for you to leave feeling
more at ease in your body, more
grounded in yourself, and supported
by care thoughtfully created for you.

A QUIET INVITATION
A space to soften, unwind, and return.
Whispering Stone is the expression of everything my path has taught me about
care: details matter, gentleness can be powerful, and meaningful restoration
begins with feeling safe enough to soften.
If this sounds like the kind of care you have been looking for, I would be
honored to welcome you.
Attentive touch. Quiet restoration.
