Hi! I'm a Seattle based Advanced Rolfer, Craniosacral Therapist and Yoga Teacher. Let me help you re-align and balance your body. My wholistic approach resolves chronic pain and tension, improves mobility, and increases athletic performance. Pain is often a symptom of being out of balance. We fall down.
We get back up. Our bodies adapt to the imbalances we are born with, the injuries we acquire, and the relentless movement patterns of daily life. Some tissues become too tight, tacked down, and immobile while others are overstretched and exhausted. I use a combination of Rolfing, Craniosacral Therapy and movement education to help your body find a new relationship to alignment.

I have been fascinated by the innate intelligence and beautiful complexity of the human body since I started teaching yoga in 2007. Very quickly, I found myself drawn to students dealing with chronic back pain, tendonitis, joint instability, and a variety of other injuries that were ultimately causing them discomfort and limiting their activities.
Named after it's founder, Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing(R) Structural Integration is a form of hands-on bodywork and movement education that reorganizes and balances the body by lengthening and repositioning the connective tissues, called fascia, that permeate the entire body. Rolfers recognize that the body is inherently a system of seamless networks of tissues rather than a collection of separate parts.

I have had numerous rolfing sessions with Maya Ray and each has been incredible. She mixes both her strength and kindess, so you truly feel like what you need is met. I have major pain in my back along with a lot of stress with my work, and she always finds the right spots and I leave feeling 100,000 times lighter (and more grounded) than when I entered. Thank you!!!

I met Maya several years ago at Yoga Works in Manhattan. Maya is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable about yoga and anatomy. She is an outstanding yoga instructor! Her yoga classes were always challenging and well thought out, with clear cues and demonstrations. I also went to Maya for rolfing for a sports related injury and tune-ups. The rolfing, together with stretches that Maya recommended, helped my injury heal completely. I highly recommend Maya for yoga and rolfing.

Maya is the best! If you have any tightness or pain in your body, you absolutely must go see her. I went to her for a Rolfing session for a tight right hip, and when I left I felt like I was walking on a new pair of legs. It was amazing! I also had the pleasure of taking her yoga classes. They are some of my favorite classes - my body feels amazing afterwards. Her teaching is specific, accessible, and still challenging. Highly recommend her - I wish she still lived in Brooklyn!

After over 35 years as a film editor, my body ached. I'd torn my menicisi in my knees and had two surgeries. My pectoral muscles were so shortened from bad sitting posture that even a light touch on my chest was painful. Fortunately, I practiced and taught yoga as my own personal therapy, but I needed help. I met Maya as a fellow yoga teacher at YogaWorks in New York City. Maya's knowledge of anatomy and movement plus her great sense of humor made her classes and workshops very popular. When she announced her Rolfing practice, I had to give it a try.

Maya, in San Clemente, is a friendly and ever smiling trained professional Rolfer, Yoga Teacher, and Craniosacral Therapist. She has been helping people with her skills for over fifteen years and has Yoga Work’s 500-hour yoga teacher certification and her Rolfing Certification (a form of hands-on bodywork and movement) from Colorado’s acclaimed Rolf Institute of Structural Integration.
I definitely recommend Maya for back issues and back care as well as guidance for self-care and healing.
