Bodywork Massage on
Lake Buchanan By Mariah Wentworth, MsT
The bodywork massage performed by
Mariah Wentworth is one of the primary draws of
guests to Rainbow Hearth. Most guests refer to
Mariah’s massage as the best they have ever had in
their entire lives. Much more than a relaxing
massage, this is therapeutic and stress relieving
bodywork performed by a true healer of immense
experience. In addition to being sought after by
some of the top seminar instructors in the nation,
several interns have even gone as far as to come
live and work at Rainbow Hearth specifically to
learn from her. The ability to have her here at
Rainbow Hearth, available to you, is an
extraordinary opportunity not to be missed.
Of course, the only way for you to truly know is to
take that leap of faith and get on her table. It
just might be one of those life-changing experiences
you can only get here, at Rainbow Hearth’s
Texas
Hill Country Bed and Breakfast Retreat.
About Mariah Wentworth
Mariah Wentworth is a true healer
who has been learning and perfecting her healing
talents since she was a child. Mariah’s first
bodywork teachers were animals. As odd as it might
seem, animals were excellent teachers of non-verbal
communication and touch since they don’t tolerate
touch that is unpleasant and will only allow it if
there is trust. She later took this valuable
knowledge of non-verbal communication and learned to
apply it the treatment of her clients.
As an adult, Mariah was fortunate enough to learn
from a number of masters in several disciplines that
complimented the bodywork therapy techniques she
practices now. While she incorporates many
techniques depending on the needs of the client,
Mariah’s unique style blends polarity therapy (works
with the body on a physical and energetic level),
breath work, intuitive bodywork and Myo-fascial
release techniques. She also draws from her years as
a yoga teacher and practitioner to understand the
body’s ability to move, release and respond to
pressure.
With over 30 years of experience Mariah Wentworth is
renowned for her ability to melt away stress, heal
the body, and rejuvenate the mind. For 11 years,
Mariah was a key member of the renowned Centerpointe
Research Institute retreat faculty, providing
bodywork and stretching classes for retreat
participants learning meditation via holosync audio
technology. In addition to being a licensed massage
therapist, Mariah has considerable knowledge of
meditation, breathing techniques, constructive
advice for uplifting your thinking, as well as
suggestions about therapeutic foods and herbs that
aid certain conditions and ailments.

Mariah’s Bodywork Massage Reviews:
“ My bodywork with Mariah was unlike
anything I’ve ever experienced. This experience is
in no way comparable to a massage. Rather I felt
Mariah was an artist molding a sculpture. At the end
I felt a transformation of sorts. My body felt
lighter, longer, and relaxed.”
-Diana
“Being in a profession that subjects the mind and
body to severe stresses, I have been using exercise,
yoga, and massage to keep in peak condition for
twenty-five years. In over five hundred massages, I
have not experienced the level of relaxation and
myomuscular relief as provided by Mariah.”
-John B. Litterer, D.D.S.
“Mariah's massage was unlike any other massage I
have ever experienced. After surgeries and injuries,
I had become so "guarded" that even when having a
massage, I had been afraid to relax the areas and
let someone in to heal them. Mariah gained my trust,
worked with me on my breathing and was able to go
deep into the sites and heal them with her wonderful
touch.
She paid attention to what my body was telling her
and gave me a "lift" that is transforming my life
that was a direct result of her knowledge and caring
spirit. Her massage alone was worth the 3 1/2 hour
drive, not to mention the absolute beauty and peace
of Rainbow Hearth. I've never met anyone like her,
cannot wait until I can experience it again!”
-Dorthell McAlpine
”I’ve had massages before that were relaxing but
they never really resulted in any noticeable or
long-term results. I came to Rainbow Hearth
extremely stressed out and holding every bit of that
tension in my body, especially in my neck, back and
shoulders. After two much-needed sessions with
Mariah, I felt so rejuvenated and refreshed! She
worked deeply into my trouble areas, and the pain
and tension I had been carrying around for the past
two years was gone. I am writing this letter several
months after my treatments, and the discomfort I was
experiencing has not returned. Mariah is definitely
very skilled at what she does, and she gave me the
best bodywork I have ever had.”
-Tracey Mastic
Each session begins with a discussion about issues
that are affecting you and that you would like
addressed. Following your consultation, you will
enjoy a 90-minute bodywork session that addresses
your entire body and also targets “trouble areas”
identified in your consultation and/or revealed once
bodywork is underway.
Can I get a shorter session?
90 minutes is the minimum time needed to address the
whole body and have time to work on “trouble areas.”
Most people do not relax enough to allow for deeper
work until an hour or so into the session, so the
last 30 minutes is often the most beneficial.
Will I be sore afterwards?
Most people have little to no soreness after their
sessions. Mariah’s techniques allow her to work
deeply in the tissues without causing pain and
soreness. Most people feel very relaxed and describe
themselves as feeling light or “floating” after
their session.
Bodywork is a collaborative process. To prepare you
to be a skillful receiver, Mariah will coach you on
breathing and focusing techniques you can use during
the session to help you stay present and receptive.
Simply by breathing deeply, you will change your
blood oxygen levels, begin producing more alpha
brain waves and lower your production of
stress-related hormones. When breath work is
combined with bodywork, the results are greatly
enhanced.
Additionally, soak in Rainbow Hearth’s hot tub after
your bodywork session or relax in a warm bath to
prevent soreness and stay relaxed. Remember to drink
plenty of water after your session, as it helps
eliminate the fluids and toxins that have been
stirred up. Listen to your body! Be gentle with
yourself, both physically and emotionally, and allow
the benefits to settle into your system.
How is bodywork different from massage?
The terms bodywork and massage are frequently used
interchangeably. However, there is a distinction.
The term massage brings to mind relaxation and
pampering, and a person can become a licensed
masseuse in Texas with 500 hours of classroom and
apprenticeship. Bodywork literally works the body
and is far more therapeutic, requiring years of
experience to master. Many techniques may be used to
deeply affect the body/mind matrix, awakening and
enhancing your inherent abilities to heal and
rejuvenate.
