“I had taken pilates for many years when circumstances meant I had to find a new practice. I was so fortunate, at that time, to happen upon Maria’s studio.

From our first meeting I realized how unique she was. She carefully, gently, thoroughly assessed me on that first visit. Her attention to detail, the smallest detail, was remarkable. She was the first instructor I had who created a program that was unique to my body. Her deep knowledge of both anatomy and pilates allows her to be able to address whatever acute or chronic issues a client might have.

I have worked with Maria for over 6 years. 4 of those years remotely after I moved to New York.
During this time, I have always been amazed that no session is the same. Maria carefully plans out each session to build on the next . That said, she is quick to adjust the session if an acute problem arises. I have also found it remarkable that Maria is always studying new techniques and new theories that relate to her practice. Her dedication to and love for her work is very apparent.

Finally, a large part of therapy relies on the compassion and listening abilities of the provider. Maria excels in both of these areas. I look forward to working with her every week!

You will not find a better therapist!”

“Maria is a gifted Pilates instructor educator and coach. Over the past 8 years she has guided me through exercise therapies that have improved my mobility and reduced my pain after multiple injuries.

She educates me about the tendencies in my body that require my awareness to help me stay in alignment.

Maria’s talent in assessing the body and selecting corrective exercises is impressive.

Our remote online sessions are as impactful as the in-person reformer classes. The continual improvements I experience are attributed to her deep knowledge about the body and passion for helping others.

She has my highest regard and referral.”

I have been working with Maria for several years to help me improve my overall body posture and so I can exercise without causing pain or other problems. She comes to the situation with a lot of expertise and is always asking the right questions and checking a lot of details to figure what to do next that will help the most. I am very happy with the progress we have made so far and confident in where we are headed.

Maria has a calm and focused style of teaching. She has a very good knowledge of anatomy and has a lot of experience with numerous injuries/conditions. She is able to see alignment and movement problems and knows how to solve them in an intelligent and methodical progression. Maria approaches each client with care and consideration, creating challenging, individualized workouts that are achievable and fun. She is experienced with all ages and fitness levels. She has experience with dancers, athletes, weekend warriors, seniors and the unfit. Maria’s workouts are very well thought out, demanding but not too aggressive. I have seen her clients get a lot stronger; she knows how much to challenge a client but also keep them safe. I personally really enjoyed her classes, got a lot stronger and used many of her exercises in my own training and teaching. She was a great resource for me.

Maria has a warm, approachable personality and a good sense of humor. She is very likable, and clients feel very comfortable with her. Maria has an ease about her that makes working with her very pleasant and satisfying. As a colleague, she is very generous with her knowledge. She would often take the time to show me something new she learned or help me with any challenges I had. I learned a lot from her during the years I spent teaching alongside her and appreciated our time together.

Maria is a very talented Pilates instructor and would be an asset in any program she was a part of.

“I have worked with Maria exclusively via Zoom for the past several years.

Maria is wonderful. She is a healer, very knowledgeable and intuitive about the body.

She has helped me with 2 pregnancies and I have felt great both times with her expertise.

She loves what she does and she is a joy to work with. I look forward to seeing her every week.”

“Working with Maria has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Her deep understanding of the body and movement shines through in every session, and her attentive, caring approach makes you feel truly supported. Maria doesn’t just guide you through exercises—she takes the time to understand your body’s unique needs and challenges. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I’ve gained strength, improved my posture, and feel more confident in my movements every day. Maria’s passion for what she does is contagious, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about her clients’ progress and well-being.”

“I am delighted with the professional work I am doing with María in my recovery from post-oncological surgery. The aftereffects have significantly impacted my stability in standing, causing various pains due to the partial sectioning of the obturator nerve. She helps me with specific exercises essential for restoring my ability to stand, focusing on balancing my postural misalignment. Her guidance is precise and progressive, greatly assisting me in becoming more aware of my current body and its proprioception. She is approachable, always available for questions, caring, and highly professional (punctual, organized with appointments, and very knowledgeable). In short, she is a professional I highly recommend for any work related to postural recovery.”

“I just wanted to tell you that I had the most amazing private with Maria last night and two recent sessions where I was lucky enough to have a private with her.
Last night, she worked with me on my hinging (which I’ve decided to stop fighting as I really don’t need to do rollups).

She helped me with my balance, getting the feel for being in the right position—adjusting my back, my hips, my heels, my toes, and trying to explain how to get my left hip down (not that I can do it but I am starting to get it).

She takes great care of me—she is truly a gifted teacher and a lovely person. I am very grateful for her.”

Training with Maria has been a game-changer. Her personalized approach and attention to detail have made a huge difference in how I feel. Every session is tailored to my needs, making sure each movement is safe, effective, and right for my body. You can feel the impact from day one—her deep understanding of the body and dedication to her clients truly set her apart. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for real, lasting results!

Working with Maria has been one of the best decisions I have made for my health and well-being. Their personalized approach and targeted therapy have not only improved my posture and mobility, but have also had a positive impact on my daily happiness. Each session is a controlled and effective treatment, tailored to my individual needs, and the results are felt immediately. Thanks to their dedication and knowledge, I feel stronger, healthier and more balanced, both physically and mentally. Maria not only transforms bodies, but also lives!

“I believe Maria is not only an exceptional teacher, but one of the hardest focused workers I know.”
