Holistic Physical Therapy
releasing constrictions, re-membering wholeness

Holistic Physical Therapy

Rooted in over 20 years of clinical experience and infused with somatic wisdom, energetic attunement, and spiritual presence — this work meets your body as a living, layered system. One that holds tension, trauma, protection, and potential all at once.

Whether you're recovering from injury, living with chronic pain, or seeking to feel more at home in your body, Marika offers a grounded, compassionate approach.

Her practice draws from many lineages including:

orthopedic manual therapy
myofascial release
movement pattern re-education
nervous system regulation
embodied meditation
somatic psychology
breathwork
aromatherapy
Pilates
Qigong

Treatment focuses on restoring strength and stability, flexibility and flow & postural and movement patterns - while honoring the emotional and energetic layers that often accompany physical pain.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs, and is an invitation to unwind constrictions, restore alignment and reconnect to your bodies natural intelligence.

Marika’s Realization Process Practices came at the perfect time for me. During the “stay-at-home” time I looked forward to Sunday evening to settle down my nervous system. Both the practice of the Realization Process and Marika’s voice took me on an inner journey. Marika’s approach is gentle, warm and accessible. She has done the work herself and is gifted at guiding others through the process. I highly recommend working with her.

Marika's offering of subtle energy work has been so beneficial to me especially during the Covid-19. Tuning in to my inner core being helps me to maintain my rhythm and true potential, letting go of blockages and old belief systems. I'm very grateful for all her work, generosity of spirit and soothing voice. Thank you Marika!
