Maria graduated from the Advanced Fuller School of Massage Therapy in 2011 and is certified through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.  

After graduating, she was employed at Body Logic Massage & Chiropractic in Virginia Beach where she gained most of her clinical experience. She has performed therapy for patients experiencing and recovering from various muscular dysfunctions associated with overuse, poor posture and stress, as well as sports injuries and motor vehicle accidents.

 

While Maria enjoys working in a clinical setting, she has also managed a practice of her own where she was able to incorporate various modalities such as Sports and Deep Tissue massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Prenatal and Swedish massage techniques. 

 

In order for her clients to live happier and healthier lives, Maria has worked with them to help overcome acute and chronic muscular pain, improve mobility and decrease stress. She has had a great success helping clients, who suffered with tension headaches, chronic neck/back pain, sciatica, rotator cuff injuries and other conditions. 

 

Maria is constantly expanding her knowledge of Massage Therapy by taking continuing education classes. In 2012, she completed a Thai Massage course at Cayce-Reilly Institute. To help Maria communicate closely with other health care professionals regarding specific needs of each individual client’s existing health conditions and personal treatment plans, Maria became a Certified Medical Massage Practitioner in 2014. She also recently completed the Neil Asher Trigger Point Therapy program for Frozen Shoulder and received her CPR, AED First Aid certification. 

 

Combining years of clinical experience, compassion and careful listening, Maria works to ensure each therapy session is productive and meaningful for each of her clients. Her ultimate goal for  her clients is to reduce their pain, decrease stress, improve mobility and help them become more physically and emotionally self-aware, in order for each client to reach their goal to a more happy and healthy life.
