Reclaiming Touch for Trauma-Tender Humans
with Maria Rose
MARIA ROSE DIVERGENCE
Welcome. My name is Maria and I've spent the last 15 years developing my skillset and experience as a therapist. My formal counselling training began at Strathclyde University following my Masters in English Lit from Glasgow University. Since then, I've retrained and worked as an Active Birth Educator, Birth Doula, Complementary Therapist, Relationship Coach, Spiritual Teacher and Medium.
Perhaps more interestingly I am a survivor of Childhood Domestic Violence and live life as an adult navigating CPTSD, Autism + ADHD. We all work with our stories differently, for me at a very young age I made the concious decision to use my life experience and pain to do good in the world. A huge comfort I held as a child was the sense that, 'one day there will be a reason for all this,' and my fifteen year career supporting people to find power in their difference has satisfied that purpose.
Today I blend a bespoke experience of Clinical Reflexology, Mayan Abdominal Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage and Hormonal Reiki to support Trauma_Tender humans back 'into' their bodies. I understand how it feels to live distracted, disassociated and chasing the dopamine to get by, but I've also learned that with delicacy and professional care it is possible to return back into your body, your cues, your felt sense and your truth, one session at a time.
Often there is good reason for us to check out, but before long your body starts to scream with the disconnection and that shows up with inflammation, chronic fatigue, pain, menstrual issues, emotional stagnancy, depression, anxiety and digestive issues.
Your body isn't wrong, it just isn't being listened to.
Your symptoms don't need fixed, your body just needs lived in.
You are not broken, you just need to experience felt safety.
That's my job. To provide you with an hour or two of security, gentleness, compassion and care. By the power of ancient bodywork skills and energetic practice, we can work together to restore your vitality once again.
My Clients Say
I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but the Reset and Regulation Wellbeing sessions have honestly made such a difference in my life. Between the Reiki, reflexology, and cupping, I’ve found a calm I didn’t even realize I was missing.
Before seeing Maria, I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Now I feel more balanced, sleep better, and can actually manage my stress instead of being ruled by it. Each session feels like a deep breath for my mind and body. Reiki helps me relax in a way that’s hard to describe—it's like my stress just melts away. Reflexology has been amazing for grounding me, and the cupping has released so much built-up tension I didn’t even I had. I love chatting with Maria she's happy to share her life experiences and offer advice and strategies to help cope with everyday life stress. If you’re feeling burned out or just need a reset, I can't recommend Maria enough. It’s been a total game-changer.
