Hey, I'm Maria

A soul searcher, a traveller, a seeker of truth. What I believe in is a cause-and-effect relationship and a free arbitrator. I’ve spent a large part of my life in darkness to understand that it is part of the light. On the path of my personal healing and development, I went through 5 continents to return to what nourishes me the most, the root, Bulgaria. For many years I lived in Portugal, where my conscious process began.

My professional experience throughout the years

2011 – Yoga and the knowledge of the Vedas opened a door for me.
2012 – The encounter with the Japanese manual therapist Shiatsu was a great portal for unleashing my potential to help people
2013 – Chinese acupressure massage Tui-na, reflexology, auriculotherapy, deep tissue massage, Swedish lymphatic massage, aromatherapy (Lisbon, Portugal)
2014 – Six-month internship and specialization in a Chinese medicine clinic (Lisbon, Portugal)
2015 – Training in London SPA rituals and culture, with an upgrade: hot stone massage, bamboo stick massage, hot herbal bag massage.

Intensive international experience, working on cruise ships with highly qualified therapists from all over the world built a complex therapist in me and I became convinced that there is medicine and appropriate therapy for everyone and the most important thing is an individual approach to each patient. Thus, starting from Eastern philosophy, treatment and connection – body, mind, spirit, stepping on European and American concepts of spa and relaxation, I reached an intuitive integration of Eastern and Western therapies.

2016-2018 – Reiki – Sofia, Bulgaria
2019 – Thai massage – Chiang Mai, Thailand
2023 – Yumeihu therapy, which I continue to study and very successfully apply to the overall therapy.

My personal travels, which reflect deeply in my professional path, are connected to Latin America, where I work with indigenous healers.
My great passions are the Amazon jungle, the mountains and the river.
