About Maria Geller

Maria is an Ayurvedic and integrative health practitioner based in New York City with over a decade of experience. Through her practice, Manasa Yoga NYC, she works with individuals navigating complex, chronic, and often unresolved health conditions.

Her work focuses on digestive dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, chronic fatigue, inflammatory patterns, and persistent symptoms that have not fully resolved through conventional care alone. She works to identify what is driving imbalance and translate that into clear, practical next steps.

Her approach has been shaped by both formal training and personal experience. After long COVID left her unable to work, Maria was forced to close her yoga and Ayurveda practice. She later developed a tick-borne infection that left her disabled, and she spent four years pursuing treatment, including numerous antibiotic protocols and care from specialists across conventional, functional, and Lyme-literate medicine.

She ultimately sought treatment at Sanoviv Medical Institute, an experience that became one part of a broader healing path already grounded in Ayurveda and yoga. Her understanding of complex illness was further shaped by the years she spent navigating her own recovery, and by the modalities she later integrated into her work, including bioresonance, Hz-based applications, and ozone therapies.

Her training includes Ayurvedic Health Counselor certification from the Himalayan Institute, the title of Yoga Acharya from the Sivananda Ashram, and specialized training in Rife Therapy, Bruce Copen Labs®, SuperTuning®, and ozone therapies.
