I have massage as a part of my life, and have tried many therapists over the years, but I've been with Maria now for maybe 3 years or more. She is wonderful, by far the best. She is very intuitive, and her technique is excellent. She can adapt to what you need using many styles she is familiar with. I love her work. It is an important part of my overall Heath regime. --J.N. (Reviewed in 2015, client since 2011)
I received one of the best massages of my entire life from Maria! As a former Director of Spa at luxury properties and in the industry for over 14 years I have experienced many. Maria was in my top 3! --S. Cowdry (Reviewed September 2014 --see full Trip Advisor review here)
As a licensed massage therapist myself, I know quality bodywork when I feel it. Maria has a unique blend of talent she brings to each session I’ve had with her over the past years. Her work demonstrates part science of bodywork medicine and part artistry of awareness and intuition. While I have a busy schedule and try to fit in as much wellness centered living as I can, it is when it’s time for me to take my own self-care to a deeper level that I can count on the consistently evolving bodywork Maria brings to the table. She allows for a sort of effortlessness seen coming from those with exceptional talent at what they do. Anyone looking for a massage therapist & bodyworker in a city never short on practitioners would do well to experience her work for themselves. --Pete Gurule, LMT #6190, Santa Fe, NM (Reviewed March 2014)
“The Best! I have never written a review before on anything (besides books), but the Inn at Loretto is wonderful.Maria Rhodes is the best massage therapist I've come across in 20 years. Skilled, present, prayerful...One of the best parts of any trip to Santa Fe!" --M. Wilhelm (Reviewed November 22, 2012 on Trip Advisor)
"Maria has a unique sensitivity to notice the subtle variations in what a body needs in different locations, and the flexibility and skill to nourish each. I found Maria's capacity to meet my body where it needed to be met unmatched in all my experience receiving body work. Simply the best chair massage I have ever had." --Yoga teacher, Santa Fe
"I had an excellent and relaxing experience at Maria Rhodes Massage Therapy. I found the therapist to be very professional, caring and in-tune with my goals for the session. I came in with general tension in my middle and lower back and she did a lot of work in this area to release the muscles. I left feeling great, and that dull ache I'd been carrying around all week was gone. I highly recommend this massage therapist." --D. Brumby
"Maria is a natural hands-on healer! It was very easy to become relaxed under her hands, and it felt like she really enjoys giving massages (that's a key point for a great massage). I very much enjoyed it!" --Debra Sherry, homeopath
Maria's massage is the "perfect blend of sweetness and intensity". --L.S.
