  • Maria is a wonderful massage therapist. Not only is she great at alleviating discomfort associated with pregnancy, she also carries a vast array of knowledge regarding the human body. She's always eager and willing to share resources and point you in the right direction. She is a joy to work with.

  • As a midwife, Maria was knowledgeable, funny, and made me feel at ease.  Her presence during the birth of my baby was calm and caring.  I trust her holistic advice and recommendations during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

  • Maria corrected a postpartum back pain issue that I had for years in just one (bodywork) session.  She has given me great recommendations that have kept it from returning.
