Thank you for visiting my website. Here's a little information about me:
I am Marianna Maver, M.A.T., CMT. I have practiced massage therapy since 1996, seated massage since 1998, and have taught Yoga continuously since March of 2001.
I'm a graduate of Wellness and Massage Training Institute in Woodridge, Illinois (which, after 20 years in operation, was recently acquired by the Cortiva Schools of Massage). I practice Swedish, deep tissue and Trigger Point therapy for stress management and pain relief. My chair massage technique blends Asian acupressure, and traditional Western massage techniques designed to enhance the recipient's overall feeling of well-being while reducing physiological levels of stress and enhancing clarity and focus. This technique was specifically designed to be offered in the workplace.
My training as a Yoga instructor was with Integrative Yoga Therapy, which takes a holistic approach to Yoga instruction that looks at not only physical postures, but the energetic, emotional, thought-based and intuitive aspects of Yoga practice (and well-being). This very gentle approach is beneficial for everyone wishing to experience the long-term, holistic health benefits of Yoga (rather than simply taking an exercise class), and is especially beneficial for people experiencing chronic health issues. I also offer a seated yoga class based on The American Pain Foundation's program.
My academic background includes graduate-level coursework through Western Michigan University's Holistic Health Care program, and graduate-level stress management coursework through National Louis University as part of my Masters of Arts in Teaching program. I have an M.A.T. from National Louis University, in Wheeling, IL, and a B.A. from Hope College.
My aim is to enhance the quality of my clients' lives by offering the benefits of therapeutic massage and Integrative Yoga instruction tailored to their specific relaxation, pain-management and holistic wellness needs.
My clients and students come from diverse walks of life, with a wide range of ages, occupations (each with their inherent physical stressors), levels of ability and health issues represented. I specialize in tailoring massage therapy sessions and Yoga classes to the specific health, movement and relaxation needs of my clients and students.
