About Me

My name is Maria Clara Adamos, and I am an Intuitive Somatic Bodyworker, Reiki Practitioner, and Breathwork & Somatic Healing Facilitator. My practice is rooted in the belief that the body holds our stories — both lived and inherited — and that true healing begins when we learn to listen to those stories with care and intention.

Born in the islands of the Philippines and raised in the U.S. since 1993, my path has been shaped by the complexities of assimilation, identity, and intergenerational trauma. Navigating through psychological, emotional, and physical pain eventually led me to the sacred path of healing — one that continues to unfold through deep remembering and reconnection to my roots.

In 2016, I began my personal healing journey, and by 2020, I stepped fully into this work. Returning to my homeland, I studied Hilot, an ancient Filipino healing practice, and discovered my place in a lineage of traditional healers. This remembrance laid the foundation for how I approach healing today — blending ancestral wisdom with modern somatic practices.

My training includes work with some of the most respected leaders in the field of trauma and somatics:

• Hala Khouri, Somatic Psychologist, Social Justice Activist, and author of Peace from Anxiety, and co-founder of Off the Mat, Into the World (OTM) — an organization that bridges yoga and activism within a social justice framework.

• Odessa Avianna Perez, a trauma-informed Somatic Psychotherapist and Embodied Social Justice Practitioner, whose teachings center embodied liberation.

• Giten Tonkov, founder of the Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System®, whose work integrates deep bodywork, breath, and somatic awareness.

Through these lineages, I’ve cultivated a holistic and intuitive approach that blends Hilot, Reiki, Somatic Therapy, Myofascial and Trigger Point Release, massage, and trauma-informed breathwork. My sessions are customized to each client, honoring the body's pace and readiness. I work gently to help release held tension, move stagnant energy, and support emotional unwinding so the body can return to balance and flow.

I hold space with reverence, compassion, and an understanding that healing is not linear — it is a journey of returning to ourselves. Whether you're navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, or chronic tension, I’m here to walk beside you, offering grounded support as you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your innate capacity to heal.
