Many Paths, One Wholeness

a unified approach to healing

​

Marika Baxter is a licensed physical therapist who integrates science and spirit in her approach to healing. With over 20 years of experience, she weaves together modalities from holistic physical therapy, advanced manual therapy, somatic healing, embodied meditation, restorative movement, and aromatherapy to support the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal.

​

Marika helps clients move beyond pain, tension, and ingrained patterns—guiding them toward greater freedom, balance, and vitality in body and being. Her work bridges the practical and the profound: addressing structural imbalances while tending to the subtle layers of emotion, energy, and consciousness that shape how we experience ourselves and the world.

​

She works with patients through both an orthopedic and somatic lens. Some come seeking resolution for chronic pain, injury, or postural dysfunction; others are drawn to explore how the stories and stresses of life live within the body and how healing can awaken a deeper sense of wholeness.

​

Having spent more than a decade working closely with professional ballet dancers—including members of the New York City Ballet, the School of American Ballet, and BalletMet—Marika brings a finely tuned awareness of movement and the central role of the feet in whole-body function. She continues to work with dancers and movers of all kinds, helping them return to expression and vitality with grounded joy.

​

Rooted in the belief that the body is a sacred path of awakening, Marika’s work invites each person to listen deeply, inhabit themselves fully, and remember the aliveness that is their true nature.
