Hi, I’m Mariel—a licensed massage therapist, Reiki Master, and intuitive healer. I specialize in blending bodywork and energy healing to support nervous system regulation, integration, and whole-self wellness. 

I hold a double bachelor’s degree in Biological Anthropology and Religious Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. My lifelong curiosity about the body, spirit, and human experience has led me through many paths—including neuroscience research, archaeology, and ecological design—before finding my calling in hands-on healing.

I began my Reiki journey in 2020 and received my Master attunement in 2023. Though I hold the title of Master, I continue to walk the path of the student. I’m currently apprenticing with two Reiki teachers, collaborating with fellow practitioners, and regularly sharing insight with a trusted Reiki sister. I'm also studying intuitive energy healing under the guidance of an international psychic based in Australia, expanding my connection to subtle energy work.

Originally from Pittsburgh, I now call Chattanooga home—a place that has gifted me community, connection, and inspiration. Outside the treatment room, you’ll find me hiking local trails, tending plants, listening to live music, fishing, paddling, swimming in creeks, and spending time with my husband and our four beloved cat companions.

Whether you’re seeking deep rest, energetic clarity, or a return to your natural rhythm, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey—body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Namaste, Amen, A’ho, and Blessed Be.

Meril was thorough and did an amazing job. She some how knew exactly what I needed and where without me saying anything. Will be back, thank you for clearing my negative energy and the suggestions.

I have had a lot of massages in my life. I would say it was one of my favorite I have ever had. I had the reiki massage combo session. I highly recommend. Feeling relaxed, refreshed and blissful

Highly recommend!

My massage and reiki session with Mariel was an incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. I carry stress in my body and I walked in with SO much tension in my body, but over the course of the session I felt all the tension and rigidity melt away. Mariel is intuitive with a calming presence and gentle, but effective hands! I would definitely recommend an appointment at Mystic Moon.

It was incredibly relaxing to the point where I fell asleep. It was a very healing experience for my body and my mind.

Mariel was kind, professional, and allowed for any questions. This was my favorite massage I’ve ever had, as well as, my experience with reiki. I will definitely be back!
