Client Success Story: Anna’s Journey

Mara is incredibly skilled in her practice – she has helped me work through years of chronic pain that has been reduced greatly since I first began seeing her. Her practice is a very unique combination of massage, lymphatic drainage, and a kind of physical therapy. She helps you re-train your body to move in the way it’s supposed to, after a lifetime of compensating and clenching in the wrong places!

Not only does she do amazing work during her sessions, but she takes the time to educate you on your body so that you are empowered to make healthy decisions in your everyday life that improve your physical health. I truly cannot recommend her enough! Anna, Chicago
