"Through Aikido we may examine the nature of power, engage in uncompromising self-scrutiny, and realize our potential as powerful, compassionate, self-aware human beings."

- Mary Heiny Sensei

Hello and welcome,

As those of you who know me are aware, I feel the most comfortable when I communicate with others face-to-face and center-to-center. Websites are, to say the least, an odd fit for my approach to teaching and coaching. I am hopeful, therefore, that your visit to my website will not be an end to itself but rather provide an opportunity for us to connect in person in the future. I invite you to attend a seminar (my schedule is posted) or if there is not one near you to organize one for your dojo or your local community of cooperating dojos. I also run a small coaching program, which uses Aikido and movement as a basis for broader personal development (See "The Private Lesson").

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Mary Heiny
