Maria is amazing! I had so much tension in my shoulder and neck area and I left like a completely different person. She is super sweet and professional :) my whole experience was perfect! read more

Such a lovely and pleasant massage therapist. I enjoyed my time with Maria, got the most incredible 90 minute Swedish massage, and left feeling like a new person!. She checked with me before and during about preferred pressure and she kept it right where I like it - light to medium. Her hands are strong and magical and I felt completely "cured" of my stress at the end and into the next few days. She really released so much tension out of my neck and shoulders, legs and feet. And definitely do the scalp massage! I had a tension headache and omg that scalp massage was a divine cure. That brought my relaxation to 110%! My only suggestion is her hands move fast which makes it a little harder to get into a "zen" state than with slow hands. But Maria has her system and I like it ! So I would most definitely see her again when I am back in the area. Wonderful rejuvenating experience! read more

Great massage therapist. Very professional. -- May 2021 (I forgot to hit "Post Review" ) October 2022 - Since then, I have been going bi-weekly due to chronic pains. She uses different modalities depending on your condition. I realized that for as long as I go regularly, I am pain-free. Maria cares. She would sometimes text to check how I'm doing. God bless you, Maria! read more

My wife and I have been going to Maria for about a year now and she's been the best masseuse we can ask for. I own a local business around the corner and it's been great to head over to her when on a break and get an excellent rock massage. I sit all day and spend many hours on Zoom and my neck and body over the years have been prone to pinched nerves. So far no pinched nerves this year! Grateful to you Maria!! read more

Since the beginning of Covid, I have been unable to enjoy my usual massage and chiropractic services. After a slight injury which led me to physical therapy, my PT suggested that I see this one particular masseuse who is practicing the highest in Covid safety protocols. I called And discussed my concerns and learned of her safety conditions. I felt confident and booked my appointment. Maria was welcoming and provided me with a much needed and expertly executed massage. She is a true professional, and I think a very nice person. You can get a cheap massage anywhere, but if you want an expert, someone who is trained, schooled, and knowledgeable, Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Maria. read more

This is more of a warning than a review of Maria, who was very knowledgeable and skilled overall. I mostly liked the deep tissue massage I got here, but when she got to my legs, it was so painful! Not painful like she was getting deep into my muscles but literally burning pain in my skin! I wasn't sure if I was just sensitive (I bruise like a peach) so I didn't say anything which is my fault, but the next day I noticed some broken capillaries in my legs. It's been a few months and they haven't healed so I think the pressure was just too much for my skin. Lesson learned, always speak up if you feel pain that doesn't seem normal. read more

Maria was amazing! I will definitely go back and I will be bringing people to her. I had a ton of pain and tension and she was able to work it all out. I loved the different techniques. I left feeling relaxed and pain free. read more

My first visit to Maria will not be my last. I came to her because of a severe tension headache and she made it magically disappear! But you can't experience any gain without pain. Expect her deep tissue massage to get to every single trigger and release point in your body. She touched every inch of my body multiple times and I felt her strength and power each time. As a result I learned there were more knots in my body than I had thought. Maria is probably the best deep tissue massage therapist I have ever been to. She is also very nice and knowledgeable. She was worth every dollar and I will definitely go back for preventative maintenance! read more

I've been coming in for the past 3 months, and every time I need Maria... she's always available and squeeze me in on her busy schedule. My back problem is gone, because she knows what she's doing and always listen to you and your problem. Maria is highly recommended, nobody better than her!. read more

I've been going to Maria's since Summer 2019. Maria has a beautiful and mindful soul, and the work she does is nothing short of magical! She always ensures that comfort and relaxation are maintained from walk-up to exit, and her constant care, compassion, and communication are top-notch. She's a delight, and I'm deeply grateful for the relaxing space she fosters. Highly recommended! read more

I've come here twice now and let me just say this woman is a miracle worker! She knows exactly what your body needs by just touching you. She gets to all the pressure points and works them out. You might be sore the next day but that's just because she's actually getting the knots out and not just "rubbing" you down. I have now booked for my third visit and will be seeing her on a once a month basis for maintenance. I DEFINITELY recommend anyone who is in pain, sore or you just want to experience the best hour of your life. I can not say enough about how amazing she is! read more

I found Maria on yelp a while ago, and after the first time w the deep tissue massage, now I have to go to see her once a week. Being single mother and lack of sleep makes my shoulder tight and weak lower back. Maria is very professional and gave awesome massage. I feel so relaxing and less stress after the massage. I will continue go to her for massage!! :) read more

Went in for my first massage with Maria yesterday and I feel absolutely phenomenal today! Little background on my activity levels - I am a Physical Therapist, working 40+ hours a week. I take care of other people's bodies all day, every day and hence barely have time to treat my own. BUT being in the field and knowing the importance of taking care of your own body to be able to help others, I decided it's time I find a GOOD massage therapist. - I work out 4-5x/week, Pilates (2-3x), HIIT (1-2x), and a hike or two here and there. My muscles are TIGHT and as MUCH as I stretch (practice what you preach) some knots and trigger points just need some good TLC (AKA, go to Maria!) What I enjoyed most about Maria's massage is how she takes a few minutes to get to know you as the beginning of the appointment. She listens to your concerns and "problem areas" and is able to tailor the massage to your individual needs. Of the previous massages I've experienced elsewhere, what I disliked the most was how cookie-cutter the massages were. One size does NOT fit all! Find yourself a massage therapist who believes in that philosophy and you are golden! Thank you Maria SO much - I'll see you again in 3 weeks ;) read more

I have a very busy business, and of corse I have to take a good massage for my self. I had a two massages from Maria on last month, and first, and second time I feel amazing after. Swedish massage with hot stones and aroma therapy make my mussels very relaxing and the same time ready for work again. Maria doing exactly what do you need and what do you want. Thank you Maria. read more

I had really hurt my back moving and working really hard. I tried seeing a chiropractor and they tried to offer me a package that was way too expensive. I had some help from a friend to lead Me into finding Maria. And after having a few massages my back has been fully restored. she is a miracle worker and true Angel as a massage therapist. She was able to remove my deepest of knots, the ones I've built up from many years. No other therapist would properly remove all of them. I just want to recommend Maria for anyone who is in search for a true PROFESSIONAL who knows what they're doing and will fix their back for you. THANK YOU MARIA! WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON. read more

All I need to say is Maria is amazing at what she does and I will highly recommend visiting her for a massage if you want it done right. She understands and has knowledge of what she is doing and really amazed me. I booked a massage for Sunday (3/20/16). This was the best massage I have had, and I have had my fair share of massages this past couple months. My upper body/shoulders/neck area have been tense with knots. Maria worked on the problem area, she gave me advice and confidence she would able to help alleviate the pain and tension. She did just that. I am sore today but I was made aware of this during the massage and it's fine by me because I feel better now than two days ago. I definitely be visiting Maria monthly for 90 minute massages to keep my neck and shoulders in great condition and just treat myself to a much deserved massage. Also: She used hot stones which I loved and it was really great. Price is pricier than other places I have gone but the quality is worth it! Word of advice believe all these reviews on Yelp and visit Maria for the best massage ever. read more

I'm 22, pretty athletic, and had never had back pain. Then suddenly my back was killing me, I couldn't move my body without feeling pain in my back. I decided to give Maria a visit. She has a clean space conveniently located near the Americana in Glendale, and was prompt in setting up my appointment. It was a calm and relaxing massage session but after I left I was bummed since the pain was still there. Fast forward to the next day, I woke up feeling like a new man. No pain at all, zero. Thanks Maria, your hand are truly magical! read more

I've been coming to Maria for about 7 months now (first month I paid for, the rest of the months, my boyfriend bought for me for our anniversary because he saw how much I've mentally, physically & emotionally benefited from it). I've been a believer of not scrimping for self-care and while Maria can be a bit expensive in comparison to other masseurs, she is more than worth it. Maria is knowledgeable and highly skilled in what she does. When I asked her to do a deep massage on me, she makes sure I'm relaxed first so as not to injure me. She goes in deep too - elbows & all. I always leave the room relaxed and feeling like I'm walking on air. Maria is amazing and is highly recommended. read more

Great soothing massage! I would recommend to anybody that is active in sports and experiences frequent muscle pain. With the use of the hot stone and the deep tissue massage it loosen up a lot of the muscles that were tight and causing discomfort. Feeling renewed after a great massage from Maria. Will def. come back! read more

If you have been looking for a professional massage. Stop looking! Make and appointment with Maria. You will say! WOW Maria is honest, humble and powerful woman. Thank you Maria read more

Great massage!! It was quite painful, but that is what I wanted. I needed all the muscle massaged quite deeply. She gave me 90 minutes and I paid for 60 minutes because I needed so much work. She close near Kenneth village. read more

Maria's Signature Massage is easily the best massage place I have gone too and she is the best masseuse. She was a referral from a friend who had a wonderful experience herself. I like deep tissue massages when they really dig in but the other places by me were just not doing it for me. Some were too rough and others were just not as deep. Other places are more expensive by my area nor did they leave me satisfied. Trying out Maria showed me that there are masseuse that care about their clients and know what they're doing. Before we started Maria asked me what I wanted to get out of this massage. When we started, she was already finding knots. When she was done and I got up, I felt like a new person. I was so light and relaxed. I'm impressed by everything Maria's Signature Massage had to offer and I definitely have referred two friends over to her already! read more

I have done massages in at least 5 different countries in my life, and Maria's massages are between the few best I ever had. I rank her easily in my top#3 to say the least! she is really caring as well when you point to her the area that are painful to you and keeps you informed during the session of her progress. she answers any questions as she goes. The office and all the equipment is extremely clean. A+ definitely highly recommended read more

Maria seriously has magic hands. I went in with a really bad back. I couldn't even move my neck and was starting to get sever migraines from the pain. I saw her on a Wednesday, I was a bit sore the next day (which was expected) but I was already 90% better. By Saturday I had forgotten that I had a bad back. The pain was completely gone! She's seriously amazing and does great work. Super clean Super friendly Felt completely comfortable and relaxed You can find her at Phoenix salon on Maryland (corner of broadway and Maryland) there's a parking structure in front of home goods with 90min free parking. (THANK YOU MARIA, I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU) read more

She is amazing, she is the best, she works on triggers points and release the tension

Maria is amazing. She worked with me to schedule my appointment and to reschedule when I thought I was going to be late. For the massage she asked me questions about where I needed her to focus and was wonderful the whole way through the massage. This is the first time in months I haven't been in pain. Park in the public parking garage, you get 90 minutes free there and it's super close. read more

I've been seeing Maria for about two years now. Her hands have helped my body maintain its health. I used to get aches and pains in my back and shoulders consistently but since I've made seeing Maria an almost monthly ritual they've all but disappeared. About a year ago I had an accident and had to have lower back surgery (lumbar spinal fusion). The recovery months were tough and a whole new caliber of aches and pains came with the surgery. I wasn't able to see Maria in that time up until about two to three months ago, and I have to say visiting her didn't make the pain bearable - it was/is vital to virtually eliminating my pains. She cares about the people she cares for and that is a quality that you can't put a price on...also she never fails to remind me to stand up straight after my massage haha! Wonderful woman, wonderful healer. Do yourself a favor and visit Maria read more

If you get frequent massages and looking for an experienced massage therapist, Maria is the one. She adjusts to your desired style (relaxing, hot stone or deep tissue). She also knows all about the human anatomy and will explain and relate all your neck and back tension to your pressure points. Also her massage bed is the most comfortable bed ever and a very clean suite. I will definitely be back read more

Honestly, I think Maria has ruined me. This was the apex of all massages. And I know a thing or two about massages because I get them so frequently. I believe they are a necessity, not a luxury. I've gotten massages everywhere, from cheap foot massage places to high end spas to private in-home appointments. Maria by far provided the BEST massage I have ever had. The whole time I was getting massaged, it felt like a symphony. Everything from her technique, to her intuition, to her energy...it was magical. I can't even describe what her massage is like because words won't do it justice. Suffice it to say, she uses long kneading strokes like swedish massage, but also finds trigger points like reflexology, and throws in hot stones as well. I was worked on from head to toe. Maria's massage was completely relaxing and very therapeutic. It literally felt like Heaven and I am sooo thankful that someone like Maria does this to help so many people who need this kind of care. If massage can be art, then Maria is definitely an artist! You HAVE to experience one of her massages at least once in your lifetime! Also, her space is super clean, she uses the best essential oil brand (Doterra), and I really liked the good quality, unscented massage oil that she used. read more

Customer service: 0. Can't say anything about the massage service as I was unable to finish booking an appointment. I was trying to book an appointment as a gift to my wife for Valentine's Day. I'm currently out of country without phone service and made my inquiry via email. I asked for assistance in booking the appointment and in the span of 5 short messages back and forth, she dismissed my request as too complicated. I was just asking for help with the payment process. You would think a vendor would be a bit more accommodating as you're trying to give them money. read more

Maria knows how to treat your muscles, plain and simple. The surroundings are tranquil and the time melts away while she stimulates repair on forgotten muscles--the ones we remember when it's least convenient! The consummate professional, Maria is timely and easy to communicate with regarding how to administer a massage to your personal needs. Check her out! read more

For me, mostly a style difference. Having had massage for over 30 years, and trained as a massage therapist when previously married to a Chiropractor, I am specific about what I like, which includes a slower firm but not too hard touch initially, to allow my muscles to relax, and then the massage can go deeper. Unlike one of the recent reviews, I know that it is possible to gain relief without intense pain. As a plus, Maria knows the muscles, and she knows when the muscles are responding, which is a good thing. Her pace was too fast for me, and so difficult for me to reach the relaxation state. She's experienced, and has a technique that may work for you. Try her out; your body will tell you. read more

Best massage ever! I had back and neck pains for 5 years. I have tried multiple places that cost around $20~$30 per hour. No place gave me full satisfaction. I just did it to feel little better. And I found this place with good reviews. However, it was more than double price so I hesitated to give a try. One day, my pain was too much to handle so I just tried it hoping that higher price gives me higher satisfaction. And Whoa! the best massage I ever got! I feel like Maria can read my muscles and knows how to handle it accordingly. Now I am coming here every 2 weeks to release my pains and it works great! Must try guys! read more

Maria is a great massage therapist! Highly recommend going to see her as you will not regret it after you leave. I booked a 90-minute massage which Maria tailored for my specific issues. A mix of deep-tissue, trigger point, stretching and relaxation was just what I needed. She is very responsive, pleasant to speak with and informative in her field. Treat yourself to a massage and visit Maria! Just don't forget to breath throughout the experience! read more

I have a pinched nerve in my neck that causes migraines, and my neurologist recommended massage therapy as part of my treatment plan. I see Maria once a month for deep tissue massage focusing on my neck and shoulder area, and it has made a world of difference; I barely get headaches anymore. While deep tissue is more intense, her massages have relaxing components that I love. She uses hot stones and does a scalp massage that feels amazing. Maria is very kind and professional, and she always checks in at the start of the appointment to assess what muscles/areas are giving you issues. Also parking is convenient and close to the location! read more

My husband and I have been going to Maria for years, and we absolutely love her massage. She is consistent and goes over and beyond to help with particular needs of aches and pain. In short, she listens and tailors the massage to my need. She is a pro. read more

Maria is the #1 best masseuse I've ever seen. I've had 6 massages from her and I'll continue to go every 3 weeks for as long as possible. She is kind, affirming, serious about her tools and techniques, down to earth, dependable, and professional. I'm so glad to finally have found someone who understands exactly what my body needs. read more

This was one of the best (if not the best) massages I have every received... Maria's hands are magic! She personalizes her techniques to one's body and needs, is SUPER clean, very professional and generally a very nice person. She really takes her time and accommodates you even with last minute requests (schedule permitting). I've just bought a gift certificate for my husband and I will seriously consider Maria's massage as a gift for my friends in the future. I love her! read more

I'm only giving this a two, because the back/shoulder part of the massage was good, and Maria redeemed herself at the end. For 4 months, I had suffered EXTREME back/neck/shoulder tension that caused unbearable pain. I had been seeing a masseuse (under my primary physician's recommendation) in my hometown, but we moved, and I needed to find someone new. I saw that Maria's offered a Yelp! discount, so I decided it was worth a try. As soon as I walked in, she (Maria) scolded me for bringing the Yelp! discount, claiming she had told me over the phone not to bring one (who does that?) It was about $20 more (plus tip) without the discount, and while I could afford it, I was still upset. Let's consider that I was already in pain. I started tearing up, but fought it back. She started the massage. I had requested a deep tissue - which is what I had at my other masseuse - and she got started and kept barking at me to "relax my back" because I was "too tense" (Hello! Why do you think I'm here???). She ended up saying I couldn't have the deep tissue and that she was just going to give me a fully body massage which pissed me off. I'm paying for what I want, and my back/neck/shoulders are in pain - I don't need a leg or hand massage. I actually started crying on the table because she made me feel so bad for not being able to "relax" enough. On top of that, I was crying because she berated me about the Yelp! discount. I was so upset. Then she started massaging my scalp... by massaging I mean, digging her finger nails into my scalp. I will say that during the second half of the massage, things got better. She told me that since she 'couldn't' do deep tissue, she would give me a hot stone treatment for free, and that felt really good. She did the scalp thing a few times, which I hated, but the neck and upper shoulder treatment was really good. In the end, the told me should would honor the Yelp! coupon "just this one time", but to never bring it to her again. Her reasoning was "Why should I use this discount when I don't get anything from it? They don't even pay me for days?" I thought that was very unprofessional, but I was relieved she took the discount, regardless. Anyways, if you just have average stress and tension, live in the area, and don't mind paying full price, this place is good. But if you want someone kind, who empathizes with your needs, and is honorable, I would look elsewhere. read more

Maria is so sweet and professional! My first time receiving a massage elsewhere was a nightmare since it was too rough, but when I went to Maria she made it an incredible experience. Maria makes sure you are always comfortable and relaxed! Her massages are customized to suit your problem areas. I have definitely noticed improvement with my back! Highly recommend! read more
