TESTIMONIALS FROM BUDDHA BELIEVERS
MB is open minded to learning and applying whatever practices provides the best possible results for her clients. For this reason, her practices are uncommon, because she has developed expertise with her unique techniques over time. She is a wizard, with magic healing hands who listens to your causes and identifies the best possible pathway for your individual recovery. MB is amazing, and if i lived closer i would see her every week! MB is accessible in every way you can think. When I am not able to see her in person, she makes time to chat on the phone, facetime, emails and text. I would recommend MB to others. She treats everybody from professional athletes to everyday people who need treatment on their body. She’s extremely personable and knowledgeable and builds relationships with her clients which makes it a very great experience every time. I am always in need of MBs services as my body is in constant need of repairing! I would love to continue seeing her even more than I do now.
I am very active. I go to the gym and CrossFit 8-12 times a week, ride bikes, and run. About 5 years ago I started getting bad hip pain, I couldn’t squat and could hardly walk at times. I was introduced to Margery, who got me an appointment asap. She immediately found the source of the problem and I was able to move and workout again with no pain! I finally found someone who actually knows her stuff! 
I still see The Body Buddha for routine maintenance and anytime I’m feeling stiff or having any pain. I absolutely love our visits and recommend everyone I know to give her a try.
I have suffered from a herniated disk for many years and have often had to receive a series of Cortisone injections to help alleviate the pain. When I had my most recent “attack,” my wife referred me to the Body Buddha, someone she had just been referred to for discomfort she had been experiencing.
I had no idea what to expect and since I had already tried three different chiropractors, two acupuncturists, two physical therapists, a cranial sacral specialist, a massage therapist, all with not one ounce of benefit, I figured I had nothing to lose.
Her methods seemed to be based on sound physiological fundamentals (I’m not into “airy fairy” kinds of things) and her active involvement in the treatment went far beyond anything I had previously experienced. In fact, she was so actively involved that at the end of the first couple of sessions she appeared to have had a more strenuous workout than I did.
None of this means anything of course unless you get results. And I can tell you that my pain had significantly improved after the first two weeks. With each subsequent visit my range of motion greatly improved and the pain dramatically reduced. I am no longer seeing her but will be back immediately if the pain should ever return. She has also provided me with exercises I can do to help strengthen the area.

Working with the Body Buddha has been amazing. The training and stretching she provides is only a small part of the support and encouragement she gives. As a person who has struggled with unhealthy habits, additional weight, and general aches and pains, she has provided me with the tools to change my life for the better. My overall health has improved dramatically, and I am able to easily do things I used to have difficulty with. In addition, I am able to participate in and complete races I never thought I would and my recovery time has dramatically improved.
What I appreciate most about her is the ability to work with me as an individual. She listens and knows what to focus on and how to best attack any problem. She knows her stuff and explains it in an easy, understandable way. Doing business with Body Buddha is easy, as she provides you with a customized plan to attain your goals and is flexible in scheduling and payment. I plan to use her services for a very long time and would highly recommend her – and do all the time – to those who are struggling with pain and/or those who wish to become better athletes.

Margery “MB” Iliria, AKA The Body Buddha, played a key role in my recovery from ACL surgery. I will never forget working with Margery and seeing spots in my vision for the first time during a workout! I was so confused on what was happening! Margery pushed me to become a better athlete and person in many ways. I worked harder than I ever had before and the results were phenomenal. I can wholeheartedly say I give her a great deal of credit in my ability to earn scholarships both on the west and east coast. In my first few months working with Margery not only did I fully recover from my ACL tear and return to both soccer and track, I also gained so much muscle that I needed to buy new clothes as nothing fit me anymore. The Body Buddha is unique in she focused not only on my injury which I came to her for, but she treated my entire body. I worked with Margery for a few years, seeing her for everything from an ACL tear to hamstring tightness. Since moving away from the area, there have been several times I have wished I had a pocket version of her with me! She is truly unmatched in what she does. I recommended her to my grandmother, who also saw a great deal of pain relief and positive results. She is my top recommendation struggling with an injury or pain
