Makia Rising Wellness

Makia Rising Wellness is a woman-owned healing arts practice in Central Square, Cambridge, founded by Tara Jones as a space for self-care and personal well-being. She offers somatic breathwork, which uses a three-part breathing technique to quiet the mind and release stored tension, along with Reiki energy healing, massage therapy and transformational coaching that addresses personal, professional and spiritual growth. Sessions run one-on-one or in groups, in person in Cambridge or virtually.

Jones began her healing career more than 26 years ago as a massage therapist. Her own path, shaped by losing her mother to cancer as a teenager and later the end of her marriage, led her to breathwork and somatic healing, and her practice rests on the idea that clients are “not broken.” The name comes from Makia, a Hawaiian word and one of the seven Huna life principles, meaning “energy flows where your attention goes.”
