A graduate of Lotus Professional College, Mary’s clinical training had a focus on the intersection of traditional manual therapy and modern recovery science. Her targeted education includes specialized coursework in:

  • Thai-Style Joint Mobilization

  • Myofascial Release Techniques

  • Athletic Recovery Protocols

​From Personal Recovery to Clinical Precision

​Core Performance Recovery was born out of a real-world need for smarter physical sustainability. After 15 years in special education and years on the mat in martial arts, I experienced firsthand how chronic stress and physical strain can wear down the nervous system if proper recovery isn't prioritized.

​My clinical training at Lotus Professional College focused on bridging traditional manual therapy with modern recovery science. Today, I combine movement mechanics, neuromuscular calming, and targeted modalities to help active professionals and athletes resolve persistent tension, prevent injury, and stay in control of their health.

​Unlike high-volume franchises, CPR is an owner-operated, results-driven practice. Every session is a direct partnership built around your specific physiological goals—no generic routines, no hidden add-on fees, and no long-term contract traps
