Mary-Jo - Where Science Meets Spirit

Where Science Meets Spirit

The Autobiography of a Paralyzed Yogi by Mary-Jo Fetterly is an extraordinary memoir of unconventional approaches to life and paralysis, uncovering important knowledge about resilience, energy and embodiment, and our collective power from the limitless Life-force Energy we are all made from.

Written as a memoir in a style that offers both colourful and lived experience and reflective insights and teachings, Where Science Meets Spirit weaves the reader through a labyrinth of woe, fascinating revelations, groundbreaking science, poignant trials, ancient wisdom, personal triumphs, and spiritual truths.

“Remember it’s not what happens to you. It’s what you do with what happens to you that will set you free, and onto the path of personal empowerment and liberation.” —Mary-Jo Fetterly

"'Where Science Meets Spirit: The Autobiography of a Paralyzed Yogi' is a potent, poignant and powerful reminder of what is possible when our aspiration meets a dedication to something significant. Only a truly gifted teacher and guide — who has chosen to fully embody the extraordinary potential of yoga — could have given this book to the world. Mary-Jo is one of my heroes. Well before you have finished it, I am sure she will be one of yours."

“Mary-Jo’s confidence in her own body and spirit, as well as her years of yoga practice, has led her to startling achievements way beyond the prognosis [predictions] for her diagnosis. You will be as inspired by her story as I am. Go Mary-Jo!”

"Mary-Jo Fetterly has an indomitable spirit not dimmed by her physical paralysis. Believing that health is a relationship between how you live, think, and feel, Mary-Jo chooses to accept the challenges life gives her as gifts and transforms the tragedy of her spinal cord injury into purpose and meaning. Her story is a lesson in healing for us all."

“I’ve had the honour of knowing Mary-Jo both before and after her accident; she is an example of yoga embodied. Her inspirational story will blow your mind and warm your heart.”

“Mary-Jo is an inspiration. Her story is a journey of meeting unimaginable challenges with strength and curiosity. She defies 'normal' through physical enquiry, mental reflection, and hard work. She teaches us through authenticity and integrity. It is a privilege to know and work with Mary-Jo; I have learned so much.”
