more about Mo
Hello, I’m Maureen (Mo)! she/they
I practice therapeutic muscular therapy/massage and yoga in private practice in Lexington, MA and Wilmington, VT. In addition to being a bodyworker + yoga teacher, I have a BFA in sculpture from MassArt and work primarily in mixed media collage, printmaking, small sculpture and alternative photo processes.
I was a Pro/Elite cyclist competing Internationally in cyclocross for 12 years, a mountain bike racer, former competitive runner and cycling-skills coach. I’m a twin, an outdoorsperson + athlete, an auntie, cat-mom and an amateur farmer and forager.
I graduated from the Muscular Therapy Institute in Boston, in 1998. My additional specialty trainings are in Orthopedic and Sports Massage (including post-op recovery and injury work), Myofascial Release, Pre and Postnatal Massage and Thai Yoga Massage. I began practicing yoga in 2001 and found myself feeling deeply at home in both the community and the study of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. I completed my Yin Yoga teacher training in 2012, my 200-hour yoga teacher training through Boston Yoga School in 2014 and Prenatal Yoga training in 2015. With gratitude to my longtime teachers Nicoline Valkenberg and Ame Wren
I am especially passionate about working with people collaboratively through periods of change, growth, injury rehab/recovery and prevention, improved athletic performance and helping people continue to do the things that they love, while sharing my passion for anatomy + physiology and pathology. My massage and yoga approach is focused on empowering individuals to connect or reconnect with their bodies through present-moment focus creating a deeper, more self compassionate understanding of ones body + mind connection.
I lean on the traditional yoga teachings, Buddhism practices, Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, various holistic practices and science to guide my personal and professional spiritual and wellness practices.
I welcome every person to experience bodywork and wellness & creative practices for physical, emotional, spiritual health, education, and empowerment for themselves and the greater community.
