My Offerings
Acupressure Shiatsu
Acupressure Shiatsu Therapy is a form of bodywork that is derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through massage and finger pressure, energy is moved through the meridians which helps to heal your body, mind and spirit and ultimately restore balance. I specialize in pain relief and management, stress, trauma, fatigue, anxiety, and more. You are fully clothed during this treatment.
Reiki and Lovelight
Reiki is an energy work treatment utilizing the energy in the chakras, or energy centers, in the body. In this practice, hands-on healing is used through which a "universal energy" is transferred through the palms. This can enable relaxation and encourages emotional and physical healing.
Lovelight is a light system that helps us to embody a higher vibration and illuminate our light body. As a lovelight practiioner in training, I can offer this healing in conditional love in my treatments.
Yoga Therapy 1x1
As a graduate of the Integrative Yoga Therapy program, I specialize in very gentle yoga to enhance your body's healing capabilities. We use deep yogic breathing, slow movement, qi gong, poses, and meditation to assist the body in returning to balance and homestasis. These are 1x1 sessions at my office or your home.
Trauma Recovery Coaching
I am a Trauma Recovery Coach. I offer sessions in person and remotely. The first session we will explore what the coaching plan will look like together. I offer a peer to peer style coaching service, to assist you in processing unresolved trauma and move forward feeling more empowered and in a regulated nervous system. I will do so with compassion and respect.

Testimonials
I cannot say enough positive things about the acupressure massage with Lori. She listened to both me and my body, and I left each session feeling much less tense/sore and am in awe at her gift and level of knowledge. Lori made a lasting improvement on my body, and I am sad to be leaving the area. Plus, she is both personable, and professional. Go once, and you won't want to stop. Worth every penny.

Lori Maher is an amazing acupressurist! She has been working on me since August and her treatments are the only thing that has brought relief from a car accident 2 years ago. I highly recommend her if you have pain.
-Gail-
"I started working with Lori to heal muscle and fascial tissue imbalances and it has morphed into addressing the trauma and ongoing stress that keeps me in fight or flight mode, so my body never really relaxes and healing is slowed as a result. I am in awe of Lori's in-depth knowledge of the nervous system and how it affects your physical and mental health. Not only has she helped me through bodywork to "switch off" my sympathetic nervous system that kept me stuck in my traumas, she has helped me to learn to truly take care of and love myself so I can finally heal and move on. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

What a blessing it was to find the perfect class at State of Grace, and for me the perfect teacher- Lori Maher. The environment was welcoming, safe, and warm. Yoga is so much more than just mats, music and moves. There is an intent, a vibration, a sacred space, an energy, an invitation, an acceptance, a grace. Lori Maher provided that for me with her unique presence and sensitivity married to an incredible knowledge base and skills. If you are looking for such an experience, if your soul is calling you home, perhaps you'll find yourself saying yes to an invitation to practice at State of Grace with Lori.- Pat
