Maria is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about her or the services she offers. I found Maria a few years ago through a mutual friend and have been both a client and student of Maria's. Maria is a true healer in every sense of the word. Maria has helped me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Finding East-West Holistic Healing Arts has literally changed the way I experience my life. I suffered from migraine headaches for more than 20 years before I found Maria. Prior to coming to East-West Holistic Healing Arts, I would have headaches for 5 or more days every week. After seeing Maria, I rarely get them and when I do, they improve much more quickly than before.

I have been a headache sufferer for many, many years. They would last for weeks, sometimes months.
I recently had a very bad ten day headache to the point of such severe nausea with simple head movement that it was impossible to function or sleep peacefully.
I did an intensive headache treatment (3 consecutive days) with Maria. It was miraculous. My headache is gone, neck and face pain gone, I'm sleeping peacefully and pain free, and have no more need for drugs. I feel like a new person.
Anyone who suffers from serious headaches and wants pain relief without drugs must see Maria. She gave me my life back.

I first met Maria at the New York College of Health Professions where she was a well respected instructor. I got to know her further while taking a continuing education course for Hot Stone Therapy where she really exhibited her passion for massage therapy and helping people. Maria then joined my team at Cindi A. Prentiss Physical Therapy, PC/Healing Hands Massage Therapy, PC. I cannot begin to explain the positive impact Maria made on my business. She has taken my patients/clients to a whole new level. Patients who suffer from chronic pain, traumatic injuries, repetitive injuries, post surgical, post traumatic stress syndrome, and habitualy poor posture are just a few of what Maria has had truly amazing results with using techniques such as Myofascial Release, Myofascial Unwinding, and AMMA Therapy®.

I saw a mutual client of ours on Tuesday, and wow, you guys did awesome work together. Her body was so different from how she typically shows up, even emotionally she was different. It was a huge shift. There was such an openness that there wasn't much for me to do with her in our session, except some simple grounding points to keep things moving, and clear a little heat from a skin rash she had.
I just wanted to thank you and tell you she also thanked me for referring her to you. Great work, my friend. You are a fabulous healer.

I have been a client for going on 5 months and have done the AMMA Therapy, the Myofascial Release sessions and the Bach Flower remedies. I cannot say enough good things about Maria (the owner) and the services that she offers. I have gone in 3 to 4 times a month and have been able to get through extremely intense and difficult life circumstances by using the Bach Flowers and becoming more involved in holistic living. Finding East-West Holistic Healing Arts has definitely made a vastly positive impact in my life! Thanks, Maria! You've got a good thing going!

For the last four years, Maria Troia has provided quality massage therapy and bodywork to the members of our Health and Tennis Club, located in an active adult community. Her advanced training in the John Barnes style of Myofascial Release and AMMA Therapy® has yielded great results with those who have had joint replacements and who suffer from pain caused by scar tissue. She has helped members with chronic pain, limited joint movement, vertigo, and even those suffering from depression and anxiety. In addition to her skill and experience, her compassionate nature made people feel comfortable and safe in her care. While there have been other massage therapists working with our club members, none were ever as successful as Maria.

I am grateful for your patience, knowledge, gentleness, encouragement, and calm. I have found a person I can trust, YOU! I will see you again!

Maria Troia was my massage therapist when she lived in New York. The problem is that after experiencing Maria's "magic hands" during the amazing massages she gave me, where she drew on her vast knowledge of different methodologies and techniques, I compare every other massage therapist to her . . . and they all fall short! One particular massage was soooo relaxing that my eyes remained half-closed for several days, and that is not an exaggeration! When Maria moved to Arizona, I realized that New York's loss was Arizona's gain. I'll never find anyone like her again!

Maria Troia is not only a extremely gifted healer, she truly touches the lives of everyone who has the pleasure knowing her. Having received both AMMA Therapy® and Myofascial Release from Maria, I cannot remember ever having more powerful experiences. I have gained this sense of peace and balance. I am much more focused, and my energy level has increased greatly. Thanks to Maria, I am now a Reiki practitioner. It is no exaggeration to say that my life has changed significantly. She is also a gentle, caring instructor and a mentor. I am thrilled that Maria has moved to Arizona, and hope that she plans on staying a very long time!

Maria, I just wanted you to know how much you have helped me with your Bach Flower formula. As you know, I have been unknowingly suffering from depression, having a lack of energy, concentration and focus, and desire to do anything. When I researched the pharmaceuticals used to treat depression, I was not impressed with the side effects. However, the Bach Flowers you advised me to use have relieved my symptoms allowing me to function normally without side effects. I can't thank you enough.

Maria treated me for severe shoulder and arm pain. I was fearful of needing surgery, but with Maria's gifted hands she was able to get me relief from pain and full use of my arm again. Maria is a dedicated and caring therapist who has compassion for all her clients. She's also extremely knowledgeable and gives you complete confidence in her treatment. I'm recommending Maria to my family and friends without any reservations.

My RainDrop treatment was amazing! I felt really relaxed afterwards -- almost like I had a chiropractic adjustment!

A few weeks ago I injured my lower back through excessive exercise. My back was not improving after rest and cold packs. I learned about East-West Holistic Healing Arts and myofascial release from the personnel at Max Life. I decided to call and ask for a treatment with myofascial release. After the treatment my back is much improved. Maria is an excellent therapist and has extensive training and experience in the facets of myofascial therapy.

I have experienced soothing healing AMMA Therapy® from Maria Troia while she practiced in New York. After my treatments I felt emotionally balanced, deeply relaxed and utterly free of discomfort. I am among the many Long Island residents who miss Maria Troia's healing touch and spirit.

Maria came to me by accident (pun intended) about three years after I had been in a horrible auto accident with multiple rollovers. I had undergone just about every treatment modality there was and had not received much in the way of pain relief to my cervical spine (head, neck and shoulders) area. Maria has such an intuitive way with her hands and such an amazing understanding of the way to help people. I will tell you all that she is great. We will miss her in New York.

Massage had always been an indulgence--basking in relaxation and tranquility as muscles, achy from daily stresses, released their tension.
Then there was the horseback riding accident with five fractures to the pelvis and two months of forced inactivity. Muscle contraction, knots, guarding, and tightness abounded. Only then did I realize the full therapeutic benefit of massage under the skilled hands and positive energy of Maria Troia.
First, AMMA Therapy® worked with my body's attempts to deal with the trauma. Gently, each Amma session helped to re-open the blocked energy channels from head to toe that my accident had created. As these channels were reawakened and flowed, healing was able to occur more quickly.
Myofascial Release was the next step--releasing injury-induced as well as old habit muscle memory to re-create the mobility and fluidness inherent in the body's structure. Imagine feeling the natural flexibility and ease with movement one had as a child!
Don't wait for injury to discover the benefits of these massage techniques with Maria. Your body will thank you!

As a Yoga Instructor, I have continued to explore ways to relieve chronic back pain from repeatedly teaching the same poses (up to 5 times a day). After my first session with Maria, I had a new found freedom in my back that left me feeling taller, younger and stronger.
