Philosophy

Maria likes to truly understand her clients, how their bodies move and function, and uses a multitude of training approaches to help them achieve their goals. She was often injured as a gymnast of 20 years, so Maria likes to prioritize proper technique is used throughout each session. She believes it’s not always about speed and heavy lifting; it’s about control, balance, and proper movements.
