Maria is an excellent practitioner of therapeutic massage. She communicates wonderfully in terms of what the goals for the work will be. The amount of pressure was perfect. (She always checked with me.) She has a strong and grounded understanding of the physical body. She also incorporated some hands-on stretching into the session and, again, her work was perfect. I highly recommend Maria. She is an expert and a very gifted vehicle for healing. I’m very grateful to have found her in our town
