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.) ...

Maria is wonderful. Knowledgeable, careful of injuries, skilled, timely, and provides a comfortable environment. I'm a regular.

The deep tissue work was very beneficial. The next morning I woke up sore. But in a good way like a good weight workout session. The most noticable thing is that I could move a lot better. I actually was able to jog the next morning and bend to pick up things more smoothly. I plan on seeing her again next week. Than monthly.

Maria was fantastic. She is very good at what she does and is so incredibly meticulous, being sure not to let any surface go unaddressed or any knot slip away. 5/5 stars, 10/10 would recommend!

Maria is the best! She always knows just where I need a little extra work, but at the same time is so relaxing. You can just feel the healing taking place. I feel blissful and realigned for several days after my visits. I wish I could go every week!
