What Maya does
I facilitate people in their path toward well-being via acupuncture, nutritional counseling, energy work and more. I strongly believe in good communication and provide a safe space for people to express their needs and concerns and to ask questions freely. I provide symptom-focussed treatment with a continual eye toward constitutional balance as a part of an overall holistic approach. Have questions? That's great .... curiosity is most welcome!
