About Maria

Maria K Sakaria is a Licensed Massage Therapist, awarded an Associate's Degree in Science from Anne Arundel Community College Therapeutic Massage Program and has been working closely with Chiropractors & Physical Therapists to help patients dealing with injuries or chronic pain. She is a certified & insured Yoga Instructor, registered with Yoga Alliance and holds the following designations: RYT500 and RPYT85 (Prenatal). Maria is also a Professional Doula and shares her experience and education with expecting moms through therapeutic massages, yoga classes and workshops. 

As a Massage Therapist, she is trained in a variety of modalities and specializes in Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Prenatal Massage, Deep Tissue and PNF stretching. She combines these modalities to provide a comprehensive care to her clients and their overall wellbeing. Maria also incorporates yoga-like stretches to her massages to prolong the benefits of therapeutic massage and help those with chronic soft tissue dysfunction.

She brings compassion, a nurturing touch and attention to proper alignment in her teaching as well as her massage therapy techniques. Don’t be surprised if after your massage you receive a list of stretches as your homework to manage soreness, pain or any discomfort that accompanies our misaligned postural habits.

She first discovered Therapeutic Massage many years ago as a patient herself after an accident and a surgery causing physical limitations followed by chronic pain. She learned the various advantages of physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga combined with active and passive stretches and how all of the above modalities can be used towards our mental, physical and emotional wellness and tranquility. After a loss in the family, Maria's only desire was to devote her time helping others live a healthier lifestyle and alleviate chronic pain caused by overuse, injuries or dysfunction or surgery affecting the soft tissue. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you in your therapy journey!
