Maya became a massage therapist because she felt drawn to the power of touch and its capacity to heal.

As a massage therapist, Maya strives to create a sense of peace and comfort, as she believes this helps the body integrate and accept change. Maya’s background in dance and practice of yoga, meditation, and qi gong inform her intuition in all aspects of her work.

Maya has been a NY State Licensed Massage Therapist since 2006, graduating from the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences. She became certified in prenatal and postpartum massage in 2008. Inspired by the beauty and profound transformation of pregnancy and birth, Maya went on to train as a labor support and postpartum doula.
