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.

Approach
At this stage in her career, Dr. Maria Derochie approaches chiropractic care not as a business—but as a calling.
With decades of experience and finely honed manual skills, she offers thoughtful, precise care without the rush of a fast-paced clinical environment. Dr. Maria believes healing happens best when there is time to listen, time to understand, and time to treat with intention. Her focus is on the whole person, not just their pain.
Dr. Maria's treatments are gentle, intuitive, and highly personalized, often integrating posture education, breathwork, mindset, and movement optimization.
