I had a wonderful first time session with Maria, and was happily surprised at the result from this initial visit. I've scheduled my next session and am looking forward to continuing with this healing modality that works to relieve a great deal of pain and pressure from sinus & TMJ problems.

Maria did an excellent job with my massage! I liked that she incorporated reiki into it. When I was done, I could feel the energy flowing through my body more freely. Thank you Maria!!
