Our Amazing Professionals
Maria L. Anderson
Founder, LMT, B.S. Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology, and Psychology
Maria is a deep tissue and sports rehabilitation specialist with over 13 years of experience in the massage therapy field.
Her work focuses on muscle-specific injuries, postural alignment, and restoring functional movement through a highly personalized, assessment-driven approach.
Maria is also certified in Somatic Experiencing®, which brings a deeper awareness to how the nervous system and body store stress, trauma, and emotional tension. She specializes in identifying psycho-somatic holding patterns—the unconscious ways the body braces, guards, and adapts—which often contribute to chronic pain and dysfunction.
Each session may include postural analysis, muscle testing, gua sha (muscle scraping), cupping, and nervous system-informed techniques that support not just the muscles, but the whole person.
Where clinical precision meets nervous system healing—because your pain has a story, and your body remembers.
This is hands-on work that restores balance from the inside out.

This is more than just a "spa". This is whole-body wellness, guided by purpose, powered by touch.
Because you deserve to feel like you again — and we’re here to help you stay that way.
