Dr. Maria's Story
I was a body builder in my 20’s and "by accident" walked into a class taught by a Yoga instructor who was 50 years my senior and clearly was more flexible, stronger and had better balance. I was inspired!
Fitness that includes Flexibility, Balance, Breathing and Mindfulness have been a part of my personal life and practice philosophy ever since.
​
After graduating NYCC in 1984, I began a private practice. In the early 1990's, I was invited to study along with 22 other American Chiropractors and Physical Therapists with the world renowned- Dr. Vladimir Janda and Dr Karel Lewit of the Prague School of Manual Medicine, in the Czech Republic. Many of my manual and assessment skills are from years of study in Europe and then teaching the work of these master practitioners throughout the US and Canada.
​
In 2000, I founded Wellness Springs in Highland Mills, NY. It is a multi-disciplinary Wellness Center that continues to offer Natural Health Care services - Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Nutrition; a Wholistic Day Spa; and a Yoga and Movement studio. In addition, Wellness Springs offers a robust Corporate Wellness Program with programs for executives to better manage stress, to improve sleep, focus, energy and the ability to relax. I continue to be a student of the Wholistic model of care and delighted to see that science is now validating much of the ancient wisdom we have been teaching for the past 2 decades.
​
In 2024, I opened a Home Practice in College Grove, TN and began offering my services at Mind Stream Integrate Medicine in Nashville, TN.
​
My work is a unique blend of clinical excellence, functional movement and mindful awareness.
Core to my treatment philosophy is treating the whole person, not just the area of pain.

Laura's Story
Massage therapy is a calling for me.
I received craniosacral therapy as part of my wellness journey in 2020 and the treatments changed my life and sparked a new career path for me.
I made the transition from managing physical therapy practices to becoming a massage therapist that specializes in Craniosacral therapy.
I became a licensed massage therapist in 2023 and have been on the fast-track in my career as a healer.
My training through the Upledger Institute through 2024 includes Cranio-Sacral I, Cranio-Sacral II and Somato-Emotional Release I. I have been approved as a teacher's assistant in the upcoming CS1 program in Nashville in 2024. It is my goal to become a lead instructor for the Upledger Institute and to pursue a specialty in Cranio-sacral Pediatrics.
My treatment style focuses on treating the whole person, not just your symptoms. I listen to your body
( I mean really listen ) and we design a plan around your needs and goals for therapy.
Treatments include a unique blending of the relaxing and therapeutic benefits of Manual Massage Therapy along with the calming effects of Craniosacral Therapy and balancing Emotional Release Techniques to give you maximum results. I create a safe and nurturing environment and hold a space where deep healing is possible.
