The Mission
Maria Turchi supports the wellness of children with disabilities through a clinical yet holistic approach to wellness. She also empowers parents—as well as their children—to take charge of their own health, by imparting the tools, training, and understanding to do so.
Her message to parents: your child is not a problem that needs to be solved. Rather, addressing your child’s needs is an opportunity to enhance their personal growth and let their spirit shine. And don’t give up: there are many holistic options that can be very effective in helping your child overcome obstacles— without the side effects that can create further problems.
What Makes Maria Turchi Unique
As the mother of a child with a disability, Maria Turchi brings both a
wealth of personal experience and a deep, empathic understanding to the
challenges facing children
with disabilities and their parents. And as a therapeutic massage specialist trained
in multiple modalities (and an expert in the use of essential oils for physical
health and emotional release), she also brings a wealth of clinical expertise
regarding holistic, non-pharmaceutical approaches.
It’s
this rare combination of deep, personal understanding and clinical authority that
allows Maria to empower children with disabilities and their parents to take
charge of their health and wellness with effective, holistic solutions.
Part of what makes Maria so special is her authenticity and passion for helping others, as well as her ability to partner with and serve them, rather than to lecture to them. She doesn’t like being treated as an authority; she sees herself as a facilitator and teacher. Her goal is to empower those she works with so that ultimately, she’s no longer needed.
