About Us
Hello! I am a Massage Therapist, Neurokinetic Therapist, Emotion Code and RockTape specialist. Zenith Climbing Center has been home to my business since early 2017. I have found it a privilege to serve my rock climbing community. These inspiring, high-functioning athletes keep my problem solving skills sharp and give me boundless opportunity to have the satisfaction of keeping them out of pain and preventing injuries. I invite all kinds of clients to my practice, you don't have to be an athlete to have pain! I love to educate people about how their body works so they can make better choices for themselves. Knowledge IS power. When I ask clients why they didn’t seek help earlier -most people say it’s because they didn't know there was anything they could do about it! I love debunking tho...

I really appreciated my session. It felt honest, real, and accurately portrayed some of my life/emotional challenges. The only thing I would like to change is that I need to take better notes. However, because I want to be fully present in order to understand what you are saying, I was only able to take a few notes. Unfortunately, some of them, I don't fully understand. Because I am not able to remember everything we discussed, I feel like I need notes to review afterwards to better integrate our session. I truly liked working with you, Merry, and was very impressed with your skills and insight. I am looking forward to our next session. Thank you very much. Marcia Kohne (Whelan)

Merry was very knowledgeable! I was a bit sore the following day, but it was anticipated. She took time at the beginning to inform me what to expect during and after the session. The only thing I didn't care for was the large room with cold, wood floors, so maybe a rug would give it a warmer, cozy feel.

Merry caters her care to the individual. When I left, I had a much better understanding of how my body takes on and manages stress as well as what I needed to do to take better care of myself. She also explained the thought processes that were potentially contributing to my health negatively. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer people to her as the work she did left me feeling better than I had with any clinician I have previously worked with.

Very pleasant personality, professional, I liked the Kinetic idea but felt I would have liked to have dressed more appropriately for a more relaxing experience. I must say a more quiet space would have felt more comfortable with perhaps music to tone down other activities. I did enjoy the experience but missed the oils, lotion, and deep tissue massage I am used to. I enjoyed meeting you Mary, felt very comfortable with you, felt you are into very interesting therapy. I did not get the help with my pain level I would have liked but I would try again. Thank you
Business response:
Thank you for your feedback, I respect your preferences. I would like to improve letting people know what to wear for the best experience. I am sorry to hear you did not get enough improvement on your pain, would love to help you again or give you a great referral to someone who might work more in your style. Thank you!

Merry was compassionate. She seemed very in tune with my son and empathetic to his needs. The session seemed "guided" and very intuitive. I feel it was a beneficial emotion code session.

We will most likely book again and I have already recommended her to family and friends.
