Meet your Therapist Series:
Maksha is a life-long healer and empath who has been harnessing the healing power of massage therapy since his teen years. He underwent private, intensive training as a young man with a Shiatsu master-practitioner on Cape Ann in the North Shore of Massachusetts. This training sparked an energetic awakening in Maksha, enabling him to perceive electrical fields and disharmonies in the energy bodies of his patients. He uses this ability to restore balance by accessing their bodies’ meridian structures through specific pressure points. He has been practicing for twenty-five years and has logged over five thousand hours of professional massage therapy.
As Maksha’s understanding of health and wellness evolved from a Western to an Eastern perspective, he learned to address the spiritual root causes of illnesses, rather than merely alleviating their symptoms. Patients who receive Shiatsu treatment from Maksha often feel a significant energy shift that brings peace, reassurance, well-being, and even euphoria. Years after his initial training, Maksha expanded his knowledge under the guidance of Ann Drake of Gloucester, MA, a professional psychotherapist and shaman. Intergrating these disciplines, Maksha has developed a unique approach that treats the mind, body, and spirit as an integrated, dynamic system.
