About Maria
Meet Maria, a seasoned massage therapist with 16 years of dedicated experience, whose passion for her craft shines through every session she conducts. With a gentle demeanor and a nurturing touch, Maria approaches each client with a profound understanding of their unique needs and concerns.
Maria's journey in the world of massage therapy began when she was still in her teens. Her mother, Leonora, taught her how to give spot massages to a family member who suffered from back pain, headache or any body pain. Moving to Edmonton, Alberta from the Philippines in 2005, she has worn different hats for her different roles in her employment career. In 2009, by giving a very short relieving neck treatment to a supervisor who was ailing from a stiff neck, she was encouraged by the said supervisor to take up a Massage Therapy course. Over the years, she has honed her skills, delving into various modalities and techniques to expand her repertoire.
Maria possesses a diverse toolkit, allowing her to tailor each session to address her clients' specific requirements, from relaxation massage to deep tissue to aromatherapy and hot stone massages where, in all of these, she incorporates the Filipino Hilot. This powerful method is a traditional way to alleviate pain and promote holistic well-being. In Filipino culture, massage is not only viewed as a way to relax and relieve tension but also as a traditional remedy for various ailments, including cough, fever, and cold symptoms. Passed down through generations, this practice is deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric and is often employed as a first line of defense against common illnesses.
What sets Maria apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients' wellness journey. She takes the time to listen attentively, fostering a safe and trusting environment where individuals feel comfortable expressing their concerns. Drawing upon her extensive experience, Maria employs a blend of intuition and expertise to devise personalized treatment plans that not only alleviate physical tension but also nurture the mind and soul.
Beyond her technical proficiency, Maria's genuine empathy and compassion form the cornerstone of her practice. She believes in the transformative power of touch, understanding that massage therapy is not merely a physical service but a profound exchange of energy and healing. With each session, she infuses her work with warmth and sincerity, leaving her clients feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and deeply cared for.
Maria's dedication to her craft extends beyond the massage table. She is a lifelong learner, continuously seeking out opportunities for professional development and staying abreast of the latest advancements in the field. Whether attending workshops, delving into new techniques and studying complementary courses such as Skin Specialist course, Maria is committed to refining her skills and enriching her practice for the benefit of her clients.
In essence, she remains steadfast in her mission to empower her clients on their journey to optimal wellness, one therapeutic touch at a time.
