My life has transformed because of my work with Maria. She is truly an intuitive and an incredible healer and listens to what I need and caters the practice to the moment. I can’t speak more highly of her and have referred many friends and colleagues to her too. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

Maria’s reiki healings and meditations have been so helpful for me. I can honestly say I have experienced reduced pain and better sleep after a session.

Did her Infinite Beauty program in collaboration with Claudia Santana (The Skin Care Clinic) and loved it! It was 8 week Ayurvedic program with weekly zoom meetings where they would go in depth and learn about Ayurveda (rituals and practices for the season/moon), work on breathing and meditation practices as well as reiki, learning the importance and the signs to listening to our body; to what it truly needs and doesn't need anymore. Work on Self love and gratitude and how we are all connected, connected to energies, to mother earth, etc. What it means when we are aligned and how it reflects inside and out. This was my first time ever doing a program like this but I truly enjoyed all of it. From the weekly 1 hour zoom meetings and meditation practices to a whatsapp group of all of us supporting each other during this time. Apart from the group meetings we also had individual appointments with both Maria and Claudia for the program which I also really enjoyed. I learned a lot during this program and I'm very grateful to Maria, she has taught me a lot with meditation and a little self reiki and I would love to continue to learn more and sign up for future programs if possible

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!

“Maria is a gifted healer and facilitator. Her Reiki / Sound Healing sessions are transformational. I have had multiple sessions with her at my house and have deep respect for her gifts and appreciation for her professionalism. Whenever I need an energetic re-set or am stuck in some way, a session with Maria is often the medicine that I need. I hight recommend her and her work.”

“Maria is a truly gifted healer. After working with Maria, my awareness has expanded and I have been able to conquer many personal obstacles. Private yoga and meditation sessions with Maria were incredible. Some of my most profound personal breakthroughs have happened under Maria's calm, peaceful and genuine guidance. Maria continues to heal and work with me in any way that she can remotely, offering me her time and love whenever she possibly can. She is incredibly selfless, a great listener and she understands healing from many different levels (reiki, sound healing, ayurveda, meditation and more). Maria helped me open my eyes and heart to a world I never knew existed. She is an amazing teacher and steward of humanity. Thank you Shakti!”

“Receiving a reiki healing session from Maria is a deeply insightful experience. She did an excellent job clearing and preparing the space with sage, prayers and a masterful guided meditation which allowed me to surrender into the ritualistic state being created. There was a lot of intentionality naturally radiating out of the hands of this Earth Mama healer! During our session, I received several visions including my own purpose as a healer. My mind was literally busy designing business cards and making malas while the spirit body was receiving! Numerous animal spirits, colors and stones emerged throughout our session and I felt various places where stuck energy from a car accident still resided and was being addressed (almost like psychic surgery!) Other times I felt deep relaxation as we integrated the session in progress. Maria and I journeyed through timeless spiritual terrain, harvesting gems and insights along the way. Deep gratitude to this intuitive healer!”

“Maria's compassionate, dependable and grounding presence has not only deeply impacted the clients who have received her instruction, but has also created a more vibrant and healing energy in our office space. I have been blessed to get to know Maria through her volunteer work at the non-profit where I work. Maria provides weekly one-on-one private instruction to our clients who are all living with breast cancer, as well as other life-threatening illnesses. Maria thoughtfully tailors each of her private sessions to the specific needs of our clients, many of whom are actively in treatment for breast cancer, have mobility issues, and do not speak English as their first language. My clients who have practiced yoga with Maria report feeling less stress and anxiety toward their health condition, decreased pain, and having a better sense of well-being and community. Not only is Maria a talented yoga instructor, but she is also a delightful and loving person who truly cares about her students. Maria's ability to connect and respond to the individual needs of her students is a true gift.”

“I have suffered from post concussion syndrome (PCS) and Maria introduced me to restorative yoga. The practice with Maria has provided me with a huge amount of relief, and the tools to bring my headaches down between sessions. I am now also seeing the benefits of that mindfulness in my daily life. Maria is a fabulous instructor! Maria is incredibly focused on her students. She is very intuitive, warm and aware. Maria also has a tremendous grasp of yoga practices and restorative yoga. The result for students is a wonderfully rewarding and satisfying class each time. I have suffered from post concussion syndrome (PCS) and Maria introduced me to restorative yoga. Maria always finds the right blend of yoga movement and restorative poses that are refreshing and renewing. I can't recommend her enough."
