Meet Mary
Mary
Mary Diaz-Garcia is a writer, speaker, and the founder of Blooming Soul Ministries. Raised in New Jersey, she's a daughter, wife, mother, and a woman whose life has been shaped by both deep wounds and the healing grace of Christ.
After years of learning what it truly means to move from avoiding pain to abiding in God's presence, Mary felt called to put that journey into words. Her debut book, From Avoiding to Abiding, was born from a desire to remind others that healing is possible, hope is real, and no story is beyond God's redemption.
Mary Diaz-Garcia, DNP, NP-C - Author • Speaker • Founder of Blooming Soul Ministries
Whether she's writing, teaching, or simply sharing her testimony, Mary's heart is to point people beyond herself and toward Jesus—the One who restores what has been broken and teaches us how to abide in Him.
If you have endured sexual trauma, you may carry deep, invisible wounds
that shape your identity, relationships, and even your walk with God.
But you are not alone.
From Avoiding to Abiding is a Christ-centered invitation into healing, guiding readers through honest reflection, renewed faith, and the freedom found in the presence of Jesus.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
From Avoiding to Abiding was born from a deeply personal journey through pain, healing, and the faithful presence of Christ. With honesty, biblical truth, and gentle encouragement, Mary invites readers to discover that healing doesn't come from ignoring our wounds—but from bringing them to Jesus.
"I pray these pages become a companion in your own journey toward healing, hope, and abiding in Christ."

LIVING IN THE HEALING

Faithfully
Together
Blooming Soul Ministries began with one story of God's redeeming grace, but like many callings, it has never been walked alone.
Behind every page, every prayer, every conversation, and every step of faith is the quiet encouragement of family and faithful support. Mary's husband, Edwin, has been a steadfast source of strength throughout this journey, offering love, wisdom, and unwavering encouragement as this ministry continues to grow.
While Christ remains the foundation of this ministry, we are deeply grateful for those who faithfully walk beside us—reminding us that God often accomplishes His work through the quiet faithfulness of others.
