Mary Foran, also known as “Dream the Edge,” is a Sacred Space Holder and Compassion Guide specializing in Restorative Yoga and Somatic Practices. With over three decades dedicated to healing and exploration, Mary skillfully blends ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches to support individuals on their path to wholeness.
Mary’s healing journey began at 25 with self-discovery through Yoga, Meditation, and Reiki. This led her to a comprehensive, three-year Transpersonal Therapy program, which she completed at age 29. This intensive training immersed her in both Eastern and Western healing traditions, specifically equipping her to support individuals navigating Spiritual Emergence through therapeutic approaches such as Psychodrama, Jungian Psychology, Somatic Experiencing, Bioenergetics, Dreamwork, Holotropic Breathwork, Meditation, and Shamanic Healing Traditions.
Following her Transpersonal training, Mary became a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher. Over the past 21 years, she has specialized as a Restorative Yoga teacher, having taught over 9,000 yoga classes and trained 400 yoga teachers in her specialized practice. Her dedication to offering somatic healing practices is further supported by certifications in Thai Yoga Massage and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga. Recognizing the intricate connection between physical well-being and overall health, she also trained as a Medical Exercise Specialist, enabling her to design customized physical rehabilitation practices for injuries, surgeries, and various health conditions. Currently a Reiki Level 2 practitioner, Mary has continuously deepened her expertise over two decades with additional training in Pre-Natal Yoga, Non-Violent Communication, Meditation, and Shamanic Energy Work. Mary is also a trained Hospice Volunteer and has been offering Bedside Singing, Reiki, Yoga, and Meditation since 2019.

Our lives move along at an astounding rate that flows and ebbs with every new occurrence and interaction. A diagnosis of cancer, for yourself or a loved one, halts that flow and forces us to stop and tend to immediate needs that may often feel overwhelming and unbelievable. You may find yourself feeling scared, angry, sad, isolated and alone with little ability to focus on managing anything other than this tremendous change in your life. This can feel overwhelming and, at times, unmanageable. I’m here to support you, to listen to you, and to care about you during these challenging times.
My goal is to support you, wherever you are in this journey, from a place of compassion and knowledge. Having cared for my own family member during their time with cancer, I have the unique knowledge and experience to help me support you.
I have been providing support for individuals managing life altering conditions for most of my 40-year career. I became a Social Worker and Psychotherapist after my family member illness. During that time, I became aware that there are few supports that care for the whole person and family. I believe individuals need to be supported in all areas of their lives, physical, emotional, spiritual and social. This is the belief at the EIR Centre and it resonates with my personal and professional approach to caring.
I have been a Social Worker and Psychotherapist since 2015. I have provided counselling and support in medical settings for the past 10 years. I believe it is a privilege to support others during challenging and vulnerable times. I would find it an honour to support or your loved one during this time. If you feel I might be able to help, please reach out to me at the EIR Centre.
I use a variety of evidence-based modalities to support others, Narrative therapy, Mindfulness and Attachment based skills, Trauma Stabilization, as well as Person Centered, Positive Psychology, and Strengths based approaches.
