  • Swedish Massage

  • Myofascial Release

Healing Stories

  • Precision, focus, integrity and most of all, much love.

    Marie is one I deeply trust and fully surrender to her expertise as what to me is called energy work, bringing light into your being. Marie has an all in presence and her offerings resonate deeply with my needs and longings.

    To me she does work out of the box thinking of treating the issue.  She performs a holistic approach and shares her deep inner wisdom of all is connected. I feel deeply cared for within her presence.  I can sink into that place where my body knows its own healing capacities.  She guides me there with precision, focus, integrity and most of all much Love.  When we open up and let go of the conditioned mind of what and how, , intuition awakens and  real life force flows through and sparkles up your being.  Marie assists in this process with passion.” -MG

  • Marie’s massage was so centering and healing.

    Her knowledge of the body is detailed and her intuition is clear- addressing areas where I held tension while also encompassing a very flowing, relaxing style. I felt held in a cocoon of healing presence, energy and touch- feeling both myofascial release as well as a deep connection to my body and spirit. -YL

  • Your work is like nothing I've ever experienced. You love with your touch as if you’re holding a child. It's spectacular. It's unforgettable. -RB

  • Marie is an insightful, professional and intentional healer. A session with her can invite a new relationship with your body. It may change your life. -KW
