Maria has such a grounding and deeply healing presence. I received reiki from her over the phone, during the pandemic, and was surprised at how impactful it was from afar. Immediately upon the opening, I felt connected with a luminous and expansive energy that allowed me to feel loving light moving.I appreciate her soothing voice and intentional guidance. As someone in the healing arts, I can be selective of who I work with in this way.I felt inspired and in a deeper place of wisdom and access to my intuition following the session. Maria is the real deal!
Highly recommend her for reiki, meditation, yoga nidra, deep relaxation, insights, and healing support!
