““When I first started seeing Maria, I was seeking relief from premenstrual symptoms, such as cramping and breast swelling/tenderness. I knew PMS was a sign that the body was out of balance, and I’d heard that the Maya Abdominal Massage could help my cycle return to harmony.
Maria is a very unique massage therapist. She has traveled all around the world in order to become skilled and knowledgeable in various ancient healing and massage modalities. We are lucky to have her right here in Indianapolis! Maria employs a very holistic and comprehensive approach, and she even sets aside focused time to consult with you. It is a little bit more of an investment up front, AND my health and vitality are totally worth it.
After my initial massage, I felt an extreme sense of calm. My very next menstrual cycle was calm as well! I had absolutely no PMS, no cramping, and no breast swelling/tenderness. I was not expecting results that quickly! I returned the next month for the recommended follow-up session in order to continue the healing that was happening in my body. I also noticed that my digestion was better after the massages.
I appreciate that Maria makes and uses her own in-house eco-friendly massage cream. I also like that she instructed me on the at-home version of the abdominal massage and offered me other wellness recommendations to support my reproductive and digestive health.
I have been referring my family and friends to Maria since after my first session! Some have followed up on my recommendation and have been absolutely delighted and amazed with the results. Thank you, Maria, for doing what you do with passion and integrity!””

“I’ve been receiving professional massages pretty regularly for over ten years. As a professional healer myself, I recognize innate healing talent in others. Maria has it. On top of her innate gifts, Maria relentlessly pursues opportunities to learn more and hone her craft. As her client, this means I always walk away from a session with a renewed spirit and a healthier body. She frequently teaches me something I didn’t know and does it so well! I highly recommend Maria for any kind of bodywork, including her speciality, Mayan abdominal massage.”

“I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for you, for your work, and for the healing space you offer. My session with you and the subsequent self-care have been a space of immense healing for me. When I got the nudge to come see you, I knew I would show up but I had no idea what would unfold.

I am so glad I listened to that voice within. I find myself in a deep space of compassion for my body — but particularly for my abdomen and the focus areas of this work. I am deeply transforming how I relate to and appreciate my body at many levels. For years, I hid these parts of myself from others as well as myself. Even once I built a more loving relationship with my body and allowed myself to be present with and witness to these parts of me, I still held them at a distance. I was just not aware of the depth of the disconnect.

It seems like such an easy thing to say that touch is an obvious form of connecting — and yet it had not even entered my mind. I had allowed myself the space to visually look at these areas but I honestly barely ever touched them. What’s more, I rarely, if ever, touched them with the intention of deep love and acceptance.

Suffice it to say that my heart is broken open at the awareness of how much love I have withheld from myself. And I say that with simply a knowing that it is changing not from a space of judgment.

So from the bottom of my heart and soul, thank you.”

““Maria is not only highly educated and extremely proficient, but brings a passion and warming presence to her treatments that make her one of the most well rounded professionals in the healing arts/therapy industry I have met. I received a deep cupping session this afternoon and feel relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time. Highly recommend! . ”

“I recently received my first Maya Abdominal Massage. It was SOOO good. Maria was amazing. She is super caring and has a calmness around her that feels very soothing. The massage was awesome. I could feel how my energy came back almost immediately. I started to feel much much better overall.
I loved how Maria used her own self-made massage cream. The whole atmosphere was very inviting and relaxing.
I can’t wait to see how the next days and weeks will turn out while doing the self-care massage Maria showed me how to do and then come back in a month for my follow-up appointment and potential other treatments.
I highly highly recommend Maria. Her heart and passion for her work speaks for itself. Wonderful experience. Thank you, Maria!”

“I’ve been a client of Maria’s for nearly a year, for both Mayan massage and cupping. Maria is incredibly passionate about her field and loves to educate her clients about self-care. She is a fantastic massage therapist; I always feel renewed after my appointments with her. Indianapolis is lucky to have her”

“Yesterday I had my first session with Maria and it was nothing short of beautiful, safe, and healing. She divinely held sacred space for me to open up about what was going on in my body and what had happened in my life that has lead to where I am today. She acknowledged and honored the work that I have done in my own healing journey. Maria also challenged me to tap into my intuition to connect with my body and uterus to hear what THEY are trying to tell me. For all things WOMEN, all things SACRED, I highly recommend. ”

“Maria is truly a flower bomb! The entire experience was extremely colorful, which came from the heart filled guidance of Maria. On a healing journey with emphasis on regaining my energy and divine feminine energy, this session brightened me up with incredible insight for forward love and care. Emotional blockages were released, vivid memories arose, and the most beautiful part was the reminder from
Maria on the grace and light we have in bringing life force energy into this world. This truly resonated with me more than ever and gives me such a mother archetype energy I had forgotten. I left with smiles, awareness, a take home next step guide, and curiosity on this ancient form of healing! Plus!! Flower essences for healing and herbs for my next vaginal steam. I encourage all to work with Maria. You will ask yourself why did I wait so long. ”

“Maria sat and talked with me before my abdominal massage. Her office is so warm & welcoming! I immediately felt comfortable sharing my current body issues with her. She holds a safe space with ZERO judgement.
The massage itself was magical! Her touch was firm but soft and she paid attention to my breath rate in order to work more in line with my natural rhythm. Her table is super comfortable & warmed with heating pads.
She also muscle tested me for my Flower essence - which I am so excited to get to know & use!
After the appointment I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and just being at ease.
I will be back! And if you have been on the fence, I highly recommend her services.
Thank you for bringing this incredible work to Indianapolis!”

“I’ve been seeing Maria for infertility, menstrual pain, and digestive issues. She is a very intuitive healer and so knowledgeable. She empowers her clients to be able to do self-care techniques at home to further enhance the work she does. Some seeing her I have felt much less pain and stress, and I have more energy and feel more balanced. Maria has such a beautiful spirit and is so passionate about her work. Her holistic care and guidance throughout my journey has been amazing. Don’t hesitate making an appointment with her. You won’t regret it!
”

“I’ve been to see Maria twice now, and each session has left me feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Her Mayan Abdominal Massages are a must for every woman—no matter your age. She is extremely knowledgeable, and she taught me a lot about my own body and how to take better care of myself. The atmosphere of her space is calming and inviting, and Maria is very easy to talk to. I look forward to coming back soon to try more of her services, and I hope that more people take advantage of her phenomenal skills!”

“Mayan abdominal massage has been transformative for me! I have felt so joyous since my recent sessions with Maria and it makes me truly believe that the uterus is the second heart of the woman. She also included cupping and gua sha, which really helped open up all the tension in my back and shoulders. I am so grateful!!!”

“I had a 60 minute full body massage & it was one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced. Maria was professional & polite. She was so attentive to my needs & truly helped relieve a lot of the tension in my upper back/shoulder blades area. She seemed very compassionate about her craft & made me feel completely at ease & relaxed. Her office is warm & comfortable and so is Maria. I cannot wait to continue massage therapy with her. Fantastic therapist.”

“I’m in my late 40s and fairly fit, though suffer from muscle tension related sciatic pain. Maria has been able to provide deep tissue/ sports massage therapies that greatly improve my level of activity. Well worth the visit, to be helped by this thoughtful caring healer.”

“Maria is so gifted in her technique! I highly recommend her to everyone!”

“Maria is one of the best therapists I’ve ever come across. She is continually trying to improve her services with consistent education, and it shows in the work she provides to clients. Maria is professional, warm, reassuring, and she makes people feel better physically and emotionally. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Maria’s warm and comforting spirit allowed me to feel right at home as soon as I entered the room. She carefully walked me through the steps involved in her treatment and she is very knowledgeable about various holistic healing methods. The Mayan Abdominal Therapy as well as the cupping and more traditional massage techniques have been life changing and I have recommended her to several friends, family, and loved ones.”

“I wish I had known about Maria for my first pregnancy! She has so many awesome resources that she is willing to share and such a wealth of knowledge that she can tailor to each client. That kind of individual attention is so comforting and has helped build my confidence and calm some of my fears about going through labor this time.”

“Maria Renner is a dedicated healer and massage therapist. She travels regularly to polish her craft, and it shows when you’re on her massage table. Maria is particularly gifted at listening to her client and assembling a completely customized massage plan, including more unique treatments, like fire cupping. I highly recommend her!”

“To become a massage therapist in Indiana, you need to take 500 hours of instruction and pass a test. There are no other continuing education requirements.
But Maria Renner of Abalone Holistic Therapies is *constantly* pursuing continuing education. Every year she travels out of state on several occasions to conferences and training seminars. She has studied with leaders in the field and in specialized areas of practice. She is truly committed to her craft.
There are thousands of licensed massage therapists in Indiana. But most of them have never received any training beyond their initial schooling. That’s what makes Maria different.”

“Just have to give a huge shout out to Maria Renner! She’s a wonderful massage therapist who offers a wide range of services many don’t and is passionate about training techniques. I’ve been to her for massage and cupping which helped some shoulder issues I was experiencing. She’s also helped a loved one with abdominal massage which is good for women and men alike. It is easy to make an appointment too.”
