Mary was an active licensed massage therapist (LMT) from 1999-2016 and had worked in a variety of settings over the years, including her private practice and other PT clinics, as well as having had the pleasure of working in a spa environment. All of this experience helped to complete her vision for the types of massage therapy now offered at Staszak Physical Therapy & Wellness Center, where therapeutic touch unites with a warm, inviting atmosphere.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2013, having a bilateral mastectomy and several other surgeries, Mary cut back and ultimately stopped seeing massage clients, shifting her attention to growing and managing the clinic with Mike and starting her own skincare business.

Between being an avid athlete and often working 7 days a week as an LMT over the years, Mary had her fair share of injuries and degenerative issues. It took a long time to correct her old compensation patterns, but with the ongoing help of PT, massage therapy, Pilates, CoreAlign and finally Broga Yoga, she was able to move without pain for the first time in 8 years. This inspired her to think bigger. She figured that if she could make this kind of life changing progress, so could others.

This led the Staszaks to put their heads and hearts together, and in the spring of 2017, Evolve Fitness Studios was born. Now, Mary attends regular classes teaching CoreAlign, Pilates, Broga Yoga classes, and works as a PT aide doing Pilates and CoreAlign.

The thrill of hearing testimonials from students and clients and witnessing how they benefit from what both SPTWC and Evolve Fitness Studios does is incredibly rewarding and the reason they do what they do.

If Mary’s not working, you are most likely to see her spending time with the loves of her life, the joy in all her days, her beautiful grandchildren. She enjoys spending time with the rest of her family, which include her incredibly loving and supportive husband Mike, two awesome adult children and their lovable spouses, traveling, hiking, mountain biking, singing, good food, good wine and friends.
