Mairin was a really inspiring example of someone who became interested in very specific questions and who pursued those questions through research, by following her gut, and by making the asking of these questions into a rigorous practice. Over all I think [the value] is Mairin’s ability for wedding ideas/analysis with physical work and using that in order to somehow, incredibly, begin to create art from the totality of our existence.

I feel like something that I have been struggling with for years is finally seeing some incremental improvement. As if, I've finally found the thing that could help me move the wall that I've been struggling to get past for a long time. I'm so glad that I actually decided to try this out...Also, thank you for the loving and supportive environment you've created while we explore together.

I find often I can't dig into a character until I've spoken the lines 1000 times or read pieces of literature related to the period or circumstances of the play. However, [Mairin's method] got my mind analyzing the character emotionally from the get go. [There are a] wealth of possibilities for interpreting a character that open up when you do get in on this emotional level early on in the game.

As a writer, I believe Mairin's approach is very useful in disengaging from characters, when the time comes. For me, watching and helping characters evolve is a very personal experience, and I become attached to them, as do readers and audience members - but likely in a deeper way, because of all the time spent with them. Letting go is crucial towards moving fully and successfully into new work. Her approach lets this happen in a thoughtful, gentle way.

After an 18 month period where both my personal and professional lives were badly shaken, I was out of whack and I needed help. In Mairin, I found a receptive, kind, and truly helpful guide. Her exercises were tailored to my individual needs, and they have really aided me in re-aligning my inner order. I have found the effects of the work to be lasting, and because Mairin sent me pose guides and guided meditations, I know I can return to the exercises whenever I need to on my own. Mairin listened closely to me and encouraged me to articulate what was changing and shifting from my perspective as we worked. I whole-heartedly recommend Mairin's approach to anyone going through a loss, a crisis, or anyone feeling "off their game". I can't stress enough how helpful I have found Mairin's work. Through it, I've been able to release some old baggage, tap into my creative centre, and start work on approaching my life from a more centred, joyful, and grounded place.
