Background
A 1984 graduate of New York Chiropractic College,
Dr. Maria launched her career with a decade of practice in Ocean Township, New Jersey before relocating to Highland Mills, New York. In 2000, she established her renowned Wellness Springs center, which grew to encompass an array of natural health practitioners, a yoga studio, and innovative corporate wellness programs.
Her pursuit of excellence led her to the Czech Republic, where she trained under Dr. Vladimir Janda and Dr. Karel Lewit, pioneers of the Prague School of Manual Medicine. Inspired by their revolutionary techniques, she became a passionate educator, teaching their methods to practitioners across North America and Europe.
After providing exceptional care for over two decades at Wellness Springs in New York, Dr. Maria began an exciting new chapter in 2023 when her family moved to Tennessee. She now continues her healing mission through a home practice in College Grove and at MindStream Integrative Medicine in Nashville, bringing her wealth of experience and innovative approaches to new communities.
Dr. Maria is also a Cranio-sacral therapist with a specialty in Primitive Reflex Integration.

Approach
Your body is always communicating.
My job is to help you understand what it is saying.
"My work is the result of more than 45 years of deep study and a dedication to providing exceptional patient care.
At the heart of my approach is a simple belief: symptoms can be the body's way of communicating that something needs attention.
Rather than focusing only on where you hurt, I want to understand why your body is responding the way it is.
I look for patterns, explore how the different systems of your body are working together, and use that information to develop an individualized approach.
Most importantly, I my goal is to offer hope - a sense that change is possible, even when a problem has been present for a long time"
My treatment is gentle, intuitive, and highly personalized, often integrating biomechanics, reflexes, breathwork, mindset, and movement optimization.
