Nurture Your Body’s Natural Healing Ability with Holistic Neuromuscular Massage Therapy
With over 20 years of expertise, I offer holistic neuromuscular massage therapy designed to prevent chronic pain, enhance lymphatic health, and build resilience throughout your body. My approach focuses on treating the root causes of discomfort, bringing lasting relief and balance to your daily life.
Introducing Align & Breathe: Recondition Balance and Release Tension
I’m excited to introduce Align & Breathe, a unique technique that combines alignment with a cooling breath method to recondition your balance and release chronic tension. By bringing posture and breath into harmony, Align & Breathe supports relaxation and helps address the connections between areas of pain and discomfort.
Addressing Chronic Pain and Dysfunction with Holistic Neuromuscular Therapy
Hi, I’m Mara!
Are you dealing with persistent low back pain, tension headaches, TMJ pain that disrupts your sleep, or unexplained digestive issues? You’re in the right place. My approach focuses on identifying how these seemingly unrelated issues—like neck pain linked to your breathing patterns or headaches connected to lymphatic flow—are all part of your body’s integrated story. By uncovering these connections, we can create lasting relief.
For over 20 years, I’ve been helping clients understand, retrain, and relieve chronic patterns of discomfort. As a mother and longtime Bikram yoga practitioner, I understand the body’s incredible ability to adapt—and, more importantly, how to restore it to healthier ways of moving and functioning.
Understanding How Your Body’s Patterns Are Connected
Chronic neck pain, jaw tension, knee discomfort, or hip pain isn’t isolated; it’s part of an interconnected system. From jaw alignment to lymphatic flow and postural balance, your body operates as a cohesive unit. Everyday habits, like holding your breath unconsciously (often called “email apnea”), looking down at devices, or prolonged sitting, can build tension patterns that affect your entire body. This may show up as chronic stomach tightness, sinus congestion, or digestive issues like constipation.
Supporting Your Body’s Natural “Rest and Digest” Response
My approach also engages the nervous system to promote a natural “rest and digest” response. Through targeted breathing techniques, balance reeducation, and releasing chronic tension, I help restore relaxation, ease stress, and support overall health. 🌿
These imbalances can even disrupt your workouts. Whether you’re in Pilates, yoga, pure barre, or weight training, proper form depends on your ability to stack and align naturally and breathe with ease. If you find yourself gripping with your toes, overusing your glutes, or experiencing jaw clicking, popping, or one-sided compression, these patterns are likely already at work, affecting your comfort and everyday life. When caught early, you can prevent these issues from developing into chronic pain, supporting long-term comfort and mobility.
This is where self-care truly becomes healthcare—by addressing these patterns now, you’re investing in a pain-free, resilient future.

Discover Your Body’s Natural Alignment with a Discovery Session
A Discovery Session is the ideal starting point to assess and understand your body’s unique story, guiding you toward lasting relief. In this session, we will:
- Assess jaw function and movement
- Check for restrictions in lymphatic flow
- Evaluate breathing and posture to identify patterns
- Pinpoint areas where your body holds tension or old patterns
- Retrain efficient movement patterns for lasting relief
Using a blend of manual therapy, neuromuscular techniques, and gentle nervous system resets, we’ll guide your body back into natural balance—helping it stay pain-free and resilient.
What Sets This Approach Apart
Rather than simply treating symptoms, I focus on creating real, lasting change by:
- Identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic tension and pain
- Naturally aligning your body to improve function and comfort
- Releasing restrictions to restore pain-free movement
- Retraining efficient, natural movement patterns
- Promoting harmony among your body’s systems
Through this holistic approach, we foster sustainable relief and long-term balance.
