Maria developed a deep interest in anatomy and exercise physiology early in her career, and brings over 25 years of experience teaching and coaching to Kinesphere Therapy.
A broad range of clinical experiences over the last 20 years has led Maria to complete post-graduate training in manual therapy, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, meditation and clinical Pilates. Maria’s integrated approach to therapy focuses on using movement-based principles to empower her patients to move freely and confidently towards their rehab goals.
Outside work, you’ll find Maria enjoying the ocean and mountains, or preparing a delicious meal for family and friends.

Lorraine’s passion for movement and anatomy has led her to an extensive career working with athletes of all levels. She has over 15 years of experience as a massage therapist, offering a profound depth of knowledge and expertise in manual therapy and movement rehabilitation to her patients at Kinesphere Therapy.
Lorraine's approach to therapy is integrative and individualized, acknowledging the unique needs and goals of each patient. This has led her to undertake training in trauma-informed therapy, lymphatic drainage, yoga therapy, myofascial release therapy, and clinical Pilates.
