Areas of Expertise
Specialized Training & Techniques
Maria's diverse background allows her to combine multiple modalities for a truly personalized treatment plan.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeted work on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Ideal for chronic tension patterns, postural issues, and persistent pain that hasn't responded to lighter techniques.
Sport Massage
Performance-focused bodywork for athletes at all levels. Helps prevent injuries, improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and optimize recovery time between training and competition.
TMJ & Intraoral Therapy
Specialized treatment for temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Through both external and intraoral techniques, Maria helps relieve jaw tension, clicking, headaches, and facial pain associated with TMJ issues.
Cupping Therapy
An ancient modality that uses suction to lift and separate tissue layers, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and releasing fascial restrictions. Available as a complimentary add-on to any session.
Kinesiology Taping
Strategic application of elastic therapeutic tape to support muscles and joints, improve circulation, and extend the benefits of your massage session. Complimentary with any booking.
