OUTSTANDING CLIENT SATISFACTION!

"In the past several years I've seen 5-10 different massage therapists, and none has provided the level of service that Maria has. Her calm, and patient demeanor are a pleasure, and she is imminently adaptable to my specific requests and pressure tolerances. In the past I've had issues with therapists ignoring specific requests to avoid certain areas or techniques. That's never been a problem with Maria. Her skill level is easily in the upper tier of what I've experienced, and her rates are very reasonable. She is also very amenable to spending time talking about specific muscle groups and educating me as to their names and locations." (Jen D.) ...

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Eileen on Apr 12
Maria is amazing. I've seen her irregularly over the past 5+ years and after yesterday's session I'm convinced I need to make it more frequent for better health and mobility. I'm not a fan of a superficial massage that feels good for only a day. Maria knows what your body needs and delivers truly therapeutic, lasting massages. The only reason I'd give Maria less than 5 stars would be so that other people don't take the appointment slots I want!

Maria is amazing. There are not enough stars to properly rate her skill. Her knowledge and healing hands allow me to enjoy my life pain free.
