Better Health Bodywork

I love working with (i.e. being cared for by) Maria in her cute, vintage office. I also love having some dog therapy time with Chancho. Maria is very generous, good spirited, and nurturing. . . she integrates preferences and feedback immediately, she's knowledgable, attuned, experienced, affordable, and skillful. Working with Maria has inspired me to make massage part of my nearly weekly well-being routine, and I am all the better for it. Highly, highly recommend!!! Thank you, Maria!! 🙂

Great atmosphere, Maria is very sweet and makes sure to communicate with you and works with you throughout the massage. I loved that she checked in to make sure the amount of pressure was good. I liked the use of essential oils, overall I felt very relaxed and enjoyed my experience here! Shoutout to her dog too, he’s very friendly!

Maria is an excellent massage therapist! I came in for a rotated pelvis and persistent knots in my neck which cause headaches. Her integrated technique helped both in those areas and the other parts of my body which has been compensating for my pain. I didn't even realize how tense and knotted the back of my thighs were. I immediately felt comfortable because Maria's space and style of communication are so welcoming. I never felt judged or tense around her. I can confidently say that coming here is now a regular part of my self-care.

Maria is very talented. If you need help managing chronic pain and working toward better mobility, she performs thorough assessment and plans each session toward a goal. Her knowledge of anatomy and movement is at a high level and her demeanor is very welcoming and helpful. One of the very best I’ve ever worked with.

Maria takes the time to listen to you, makes a thorough and thoughtful assessment to find out what your goals are and works collaboratively with you. I'm so glad to have her help treating my chronic pain issues. I would highly recommend her services!

Maria's massage work helped me immensely. I have had hip pain for about 5 years and tried to manage the pain by researching pt exercises on YouTube. When I saw Maria though, I experienced some of the most relief in my hip in years. I am incredibly thankful for her skill and empathy in getting to the root of the cause and giving me the relief I didn't know was possible!

I went in for a deep tissue massage for my lower left back. I think I pulled my quadratics lumborum or one of my erector spinae group from weight lifting. Maria listened to my concerns, adjusted pressure and focus for different massage applications, and had a wide variety of modalities and techniques at her disposal. I can say after my massage my back and hips had way more mobility than before. After a day or two from the massage, my muscle tissue felt like it released tension and soreness and I almost feel back to normal. Her table had shoulder support which I have never experienced before while laying prone which felt very supportive and put my shoulders in a more protected position instead of rolling forward. Next time I go in I want to try getting my back walked on and possibly some Thai massage. Thank you for your targeted work and relief you gave me Maria!

Every part of the massage experience was wonderful! Maria is professional, considerate, very skilled and knowledgeable. I felt deeply relaxed and noticed relief immediately afterwards. Would return, and recommend to friends and family! Thank you!
