Just wanted to let my clients know.

My schedule is changing in 2026, also there is a price increase.

Needing time to focus on my schooling I will be working 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) while picking up weekends as needed.

Rather than 15 minutes between appointment times it will change to 30 minutes so I can focus on charting and billing to stay on top of my administrative work.

Sometimes we have to pull back, in oder to do more.

SLOW IS STRONG

I want to be the best therapist for my clients

Stay tuned for the winter series

It’s so easy to get lost in the chaos of the holidays. As we transition into the slower season of winter, it’s important to take a pause and connect with our nervous system.

There is strength in slowing down. I am guilty of moving too quickly; I forget to breathe, and I make myself more vulnerable to sickness. The last thing I need before the holidays is to spread illness. I would much rather spread JOY 🤩

Slowing down to connect with your body is a skill that takes practice, but I promise you will become a better practitioner, coworker, parent, and partner when you carve out little moments of your day to connect with your body and check in.

If you need more than just a few minutes to unwind, I’ve got you covered! I have openings during the holiday season and into the post-holiday madness of January. As the new year rolls in, I’ll be shifting to a new schedule with limited availability to focus on school, which also means a little price increase. So now’s the perfect time to prioritize YOU!

Book your spot today and let’s make this season joyful and stress-free! ✨💆‍♀️

Big love as always,
Maria

Special ceremony to welcome the light of the new year as we integrate the holidays January 4th 1:00pm with my dear friend

Cacao Ceremony with Bailee 🦋🦋

January 4th 1-3pm

Enjoy an afternoon of intentional presence and soul led movement with the medicine of cacao. While cacao naturally opens our heart receptors to align with our higher consciousness, it also triggers the bliss state in our mind to gain clarity toward our desires and feel connected to all layers of our being. As we move through breath work, gentle yoga, journaling and meditation, the cacao aids us deepen our practice while softening into our emotional flow and radiating our spiritual existence.

As we begin the 2026 calendar year, join us in opening to new possibilities by slowing down and listening to the light within 💞

Price Increase Announcement — Effective January 1, 2026

Dear Valued Clients,

First, I want to sincerely thank each of you for your continued trust and support. It means the world to me to be part of your wellness journey and to serve this wonderful community.

To maintain the quality care you deserve, and to invest in ongoing education that helps me expand and refine my skills as a manual therapist, I will be adjusting my rates beginning January 1, 2026. The price for 60-minute appointments will increase by $5, making the new rate $120 plus tax. This change also helps cover the rising operational costs necessary to keep providing the best possible service to you.

I understand that any price change can be difficult, and I truly appreciate your understanding as I continue growing to better support your health and wellbeing.

If you’d like to book an appointment before the new rates take effect, I still have openings available throughout the holidays — now is a great time to schedule!

Thank you again for being part of this journey. I look forward to supporting you with even greater care and expertise in the year ahead.

With gratitude,
Maria

We All Have TMJs

Often, clients tell me they have TMJs. Haha! TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint. If you have TMJ dysfunction, known as TMD, that’s when the joint experiences a somatic dysfunction.

This joint is very prone to dysfunction because there are many tiny muscles and ligaments that hold it in place, making it vulnerable to being unbalanced. Many times, TMJ pain is not directly linked to the jaw itself, but rather the temporal bones. Working on the temporal bones is a great way to help the TMJ and relax all the muscles that insert around those condyles.

I just finished four days of training focused on the TMJ, and I’m not going to lie, guys—I was so impressed by how much of a change I noticed in my whole posture from getting my jaw more aligned. My jaw used to go all the way to the side, and these techniques can be life-changing. A lot of headaches and tension headaches come from clenching our teeth and grinding. Osteopaths or manual therapists can do a wonderful job of working directly with this joint, allowing it to function better. At first, I was super intimidated by intraoral techniques, but once I started noticing the differences they made in my clients’ quality of life, I was sold.

So, don’t be afraid to ask your manual therapist to work on your TMJ. You might be surprised by what symptoms it can clear up for you.

Hey, fellow healthcare practitioners & amazing clients! 🩵

One of the toughest things I deal with is getting across just how crucial self-care is for our clients. Taking care of our bodies should be second nature since they’re what carry us through everything—work, play, learning, exploring, all of it. But let’s be real, when we lose touch with that connection, everything else feels tougher, right?

Making time for bodywork and tuning into what your body needs can make a world of difference in how you navigate life. So, do any of you find it hard to explain to your clients why booking in advance is key? And clients, does it help to schedule ahead, or do you find yourself forgetting to set aside time for yourself?

I’ve got some openings through the holidays, and I’d love to help you make the most of your health benefits.

Let’s get you feeling great this holiday season so you can wrap up the year on a high note and kick off the new one right.

Drop a comment or message me if you’re in—let’s make it happen!
