Mary Jo founded Vibrant Wellness Academy (VWA) in 2017 as a living vision for a new paradigm in healing — a sacred space devoted to empowering empaths, intuitives, and holistic practitioners to amplify their natural gifts and embody radiant well-being from the inside out.
Through VWA’s trainings, Mary Jo shares her intuitive massage and postural wisdom, holistic hands-on skills, and her deep understanding of the mind–body–emotional connection. Each offering is both practical and mystical — a meeting place of grounded technique and soulful awareness. Drawing from her own transformative journey, Mary Jo teaches to uplift, inspire, and encourage others to bring their unique brilliance into the world. Her mission is to nurture a community of caring, intuitive, and heart-centered therapists whose presence brings harmony, reassurance, and authentic support to a world awakening to love. Mary Jo path began in 2010 with the creation of her first holistic day spa, Mountain View Massage, which became Hanmer Springs’ No. 1 Rated Day Spa on TripAdvisor by 2018. Together with her husband Steve, Mary Jo later fulfilled a shared dream by co-founding Vibrant Living Retreat in 2015 — a sanctuary devoted to rejuvenation, authentic connection, and conscious living which was sold in December 2023.
