She's the real deal."Liv Tyler"Mary Helen is wonderful! We train together using her Ballet Beautiful program doing leg work, butt lifts, and stretches.

"Shows off a celebrity fitness trend that could just be the next Pilates."YouBeauty.com, 6/12/12"We recommend her book not only for the easy-to-follow, illustrated exercise plan, but also for Bowers' extensive explanation about how to get into the right mindset for changing your body."People StyleWatch.com, 6/13/12"Bowers counts Zooey Deschanel, Kirsten Dunst and Liv Tyler as clients. If doing these ballet-inspired workouts allows us to look like any of them, we'll be donning our tutus shortly."
