What I’m bringing to the table.
Hi, I’m Maura. I love mountains, big sky, water and micro-ecosystems we can’t see.
I live in the N’dakinna northern range, Nulhegan Abenaki territory, Northeast Kingdom with my boyfriend, three dogs and fabulous chickens. My deep pleasures are similar to most animals here— hiking, gardening, dancing, making puppet shows, laughing with kids, delicious food & reading science and farming journals.
For 20 years I had the privilege to travel as a dancer and puppeteer—teaching, researching and performing—near and far—throughout the U.S. and dozens of countries around this beautiful planet.
In 2019 everything changed. I got sick. Real sick.
An unidentifiable disease started causing severe bone pain, cognitive impairment, tingling limbs, air hunger, night sweats, heart problems, rashes, seizures, paralysis, speech and writing difficulties, vision problems, insomnia, depression and debilitating fatigue. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. After four years struggling with conventional medicine, antibiotics, teams of allopathic specialists and alternative therapies—Dr. Alexis Chesney recommended Joan Randall’s LYME MAGNETIC PROTOCOL℠. Game changer. After just a few treatments I started to feel ‘a little better’. Within a year —I got my life back.
I made a promise if I could heal, I would change my life to help others with a similar struggle. So here we are. I’m now a Biomagnetic Pair practitioner certified in the LYME MAGNETIC PROTOCOL℠ and Post-Covid MAGNETIC PROTOCOL℠. Researching pathogenic micro-organisms within our internal landscapes is a new passion. I’m here to assist your body’s natural design to heal itself.

My healing approach
My approach is direct, clear, and realistic with what I can offer. I respectfully support clients as they lead their own health choices.
Working one-on-one, I start first by listening. Hearing your story, health concerns, and instincts for healing. During our first session, we will do a full-body scan using kinesiology (muscle testing) as an overall assessment for what’s cooking for you. Once we have this bigger picture, we will begin clearing pathogens and rebalancing your system mechanically with magnetic pairs —one layer at a time.
Sessions additionally incorporate energetic clearing—removing blockages that arise from shedding or detoxing while placing the magnet pairs. All energy practices are very practical, rooted in the physical, and support the mechanical effects offered by the magnets.
As a dancer, I am devoted to ongoing research of the materiality of the body in motion. Ask about additional body work and movement therapy services if you need more support. For those seeking additional emotional, psychological, or energetic support, I have an excellent resource list of specialized practitioners.
