ojai Master level massage
This refined and luxurious session invites you into a partnership between you, your body and a masterful application of Maia’s carefully honed *tools and techniques. No two sessions are ever alike and are likely to transform the way you think about receiving massage and bodywork. Maia meets her clients where they are each time they visit and welcomes each person into a slower or more rhythmic pace where the nervous system can begin to deeply unwind, allowing for easier and less forceful pathways into the tissues and structures of the body. Deeply relax and luxuriate in your session or spend time witnessing what surfaces for you. Interested in developing a lasting partnership with your body? Maia’s recommends her resilience coaching or her signature service, resilience coaching + bodywork.

Ojai Fascia Massage
The fascia is a network of soft tissue that runs throughout the entire body and brain and Maia considers it to be in direct partnership with the entire body. Your personal history of accidents, stored emotions, trauma, surgeries and more can directly impact the shape that the fascia takes. Through manipulation of it we can have a great impact on the entire body and it’s wellbeing. The shape(s) it takes can trigger sensations, pain, emotions, memories as well as shift the bodies posture. The intention of this service is to bring awareness to the fascia, to open and stretch it, break up facial adhesions, increase blood flow to stagnant areas of the body and more. Through these techniques we can free up bound muscles, emotion, reduce pain and allow for more effective movement! Some techniques used are myofascial release, soft cupping and fascia blasting. Book this as stand alone or as an add on to any massage service.
