About Maria and Inner Calm Health and Wellness

Maria attended Quinnipiac University, receiving a Bachelor’s of Science and moved on to respiratory therapy working in the children’s unit at St. Peters University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. After several years, her desire for business success kicked in, and she pursued a career in the mortgage banking world and joined Wells Fargo. She was told she was too nice, too pleasant, and not aggressive enough to succeed. Within two years, she was a top producer in the New Brunswick branch and ran the construction and renovation division for several branches.



After ten years, though enjoying success, Maria was ready for a change. She completed 3 levels of certifications in Thai Yoga Therapy at Lotus Palm School. This was the beginning of her path.



After taking a yoga class at her local gym, she knew what she was destined to do. She was trained as a teacher at Kula-Kamala, earning RYT certification through the Yoga Alliance. She completed the training receiving certifications for teaching and yoga therapy. Using past learned business skills, Maria opened Inner Calm Health and Wellness studio in May of 2010.



Known for her kindness, and healing inherent in her nature, Maria hosts a myriad of events and workshops for other practitioners in the wellness community which include meditations, couple’s workshops, and one-on-one activities. She is married and loves to spend spare time with her husband, Ed, and her infant son, Jack.
