I began studying yoga in the mid 1990’s to destress from my corporate lifestyle.  I became physically ill from the high-stressed conditions. I would practice while travelling, at home, always feeling there was something more.  Initially I was seeking Yoga’s physical benefits of greater balance and health.  I have found physical health, emotional balance, mental clarity, and a sense of freedom & inner peace.  It improves my mood and calms my mind.  Yoga nourishes my soul.  I am on a continual journey of self transformation, the inner stillness that will hopefully transform into an outward spreading of peace.

I received my first yoga certification in 2005 at Kripalu 200hr on a break from a Corporate position.  From the stressful lifestyle,  I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, which affects the nervous system; it became rather rehabilitating.  Yoga has transformed all that!

I want to share the joy that yoga brings to me, and allow others to realize the benefits of yoga in healing, calming the mind, bringing inward peace which can be transformed “off the mat” into daily life.

Many holistic therapies have crossed my path the past decade, and I chose to focus on some to heal myself first, then to share with others. My yoga studies continued to the 1,000 hour level as a Professional Yoga Therapist, working on all levels of body, mind and spirit.  This study has brought me to work in hospitals with groups such as Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke Recovery Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury.

Other therapies, such as Quantum Light Therapy, Thermal Therapy, Integrated Positional Therapy, Reiki Therapy, and  Access Consciousness are all complimentary, and assist one to balance the body, and allow the body to come into its natural state of wholeness and health. When I work with a client, I am intuitively guided to utilize the appropriate therapy for that person, usually a combination thereof.   More details on these therapies can be found on my website, www.HolisticTherapies.info.

My personal mission is to help people realize they can heal themselves, providing tools and resources to enable them to do so.  With the compliment of therapies I have studied, even more than listed here, I feel I can and am achieving my mission  Please join me on this fantastical journey to health and wholeness!  Email me for an appointment today: Maura@HolisticTherapies.info
