About My Services

Getting Started

All of my plans are customized because no two clients' needs are identical. I want to make sure the exercise plan I curate for YOU is personalized to meet YOUR needs.

I Offer In-Person, Online, + Hybrid Training Plans

I offer in-person sessions for clients located in the Boston area, but if you're not in Boston, that's ok too! I offer online personal training via an advanced fitness technology that is centered on trainer/client communication, so you can access guided workouts online.

My online plans are actually the MOST personal plans because we'll be in touch every day instead of just once or twice a week at in-person sessions.

Why Online Training Works So Well?

I chat with my online clients every day, and this creates very meaningful, long-term relationships that feel both productive and special to both me and my clients. In many ways, that makes it more impactful than in-person training. And the combination of in-person + online training makes a huge impact.

Why You'll Love My Online Workouts

When we train online, I'll send you workouts that you can access through an Apple-based app or on the internet.

My guided workouts include audio and video cues so you'll always know exactly how to use proper form, and if you ever have any questions, you can send videos to me so I can provide feedback.

You'll also be able to track your progress using daily summaries, and I can see your daily progress so that if there is work that feels too easy or too difficult, I can check in with you and make adjustments as necessary.

Your Live Zoom Assessment

When we work together online, we'll begin with a free one-on-one, live Zoom assessment. In our assessment, we'll discuss your goals, your pain points, any injuries, your schedule, and more.

I'll also ask you to do a few sample exercises so we can establish a baseline. When you do the exercises, I'll take screenshots of your form. This is very important because it will help us evaluate your progress as we move along. It's the best way to track successes and see where you still need work.

Movement Illustrations To Demonstrate Progress

I can also use an advanced movement illustrator to demonstrate where there are issues with form, and show you when you've mastered exercises and perfected your form.

It's like those before and after photos you see sometimes. You'll be amazed, and so proud of your work, when you see your progress every four to six weeks! It's also a great way to evaluate when you're ready to move on to more advanced work.

The pain miraculously disappeared...

At 70 years old, I am in pretty good shape, people think I am in my fifties, but I had a nagging pain in my left shoulder. The family doctor wanted to inject cortisone, the chiropractor would fix it but it would recur, the orthopedist sent me to a physiotherapist and everyone wanted to address the site of the pain in front of the shoulder. Mara, who is a trained physiotherapist, is the first one who assessed it correctly: a muscle in the shoulder blade area would go into spasm and thus create a compensatory pain in the front. She devised exercises to release my shoulder blade area and the pain in the front miraculously disappeared.

Mara listens to you and your needs, she does not give you a cookie-cutter training session and, even better, as a full-fledged physio, she is "overqualified". I totally dislike exercising but with her, I feel fit and have no pain. She is also such a charming person that you will not get bored. All of you at any age, Mara will make you feel even better.

Mara brought me back to normal life

After much repetitive and heavy work, I developed extremely severe shoulder and arm pain. In 2019, the pain began to intensify to the point of not being able to move the arms often. I took several kinds of medicines to relieve the pain, helped for a few days, but then the pain returned. Well, when I couldn't sleep all night and was crying because moving my arm at night was like having tons of weights on my arm and shoulder, I decided to get help from a professional. Fate led me to meet Mara, and I firmly assert that within a few months she brought me back to normal life. Amazing how she can identify all the points on the body that cause the pain.

We did several exercises to strengthen my muscles and improve my posture. In the first few weeks we met, I could sleep well; it was for me one of the biggest benefits of meeting Mara.

I highly recommend Mara's work, besides being a great professional, she is a super kind and friendly person. I am very grateful to her for everything she has done for me.

40+ Years Of Back Pain Is Gone!

I had immense benefits after starting to do the exercises with Mara. One of the most important benefits is that I have had back pain at the end of my spine for almost 40 years, and with the exercises that Mara gives me, I no longer have any pain.

My ability to go up and down the stairs has returned. I can reach my toes with my hands, something I had never achieved before. I have a much healthier life.

The End Of My Chronic Pain

I have suffered with chronic neck pain for quite some time. After working with Mara on a plan and consistently doing the stretches that she recommended I have no more neck pain.

If I feel that I have any pain coming on, I just go to my assigned workouts and do the exercises. Mara has been a great help to me in helping to strengthen my muscles and keeping on an exercise routine. Thank you, Mara!
