Hi, I'm Maria Bateman,
Massage Therapist
My name is Maria Bateman, and I have been a Registered Nurse for 35 years. Most of those years were spent doing in-hospital patient bedside care and surgical services. However, in 2021, I decided to add to my skillset and make a career shift. The year 2021 was a pivotal moment for me and one where God specifically called me into a different occupational position. Thus, massage therapy was officially added to my set of skills in 2022 with a certification in medical massage. This new career path has been a gift from God, and it is my passion through healing touch to bring the mind, body, and soul closer to a balanced state. Whether you need overall relaxation or a more targeted therapeutic experience, I would love to be a part of your wellness journey. ,
