In September 2012 Thorisdottir decided to retire from football due to injury, most notably citing her struggle with patellar tendinitis.{{cite web |last1=Larsen |first1=Eirin |title=Karrieren kan være over for Maria Thorisdottir |url=https://www.nrk.no/rogaland/karrieren-kan-vaere-over-for-maria-thorisdottir-1.12869070 |website=NRK |language=no |date=23 March 2016 |access-date=16 January 2021 |archive-date=13 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220213130229/https://www.nrk.no/rogaland/karrieren-kan-vaere-over-for-maria-thorisdottir-1.12869070 |url-status=live }} During this spell she began playing handball, signing for Stabæk in June 2013.{{cite web |last1=Gulbrandsen |first1=Ragnhild |title=Henter landslagssjefens datter |url=https://www.budstikka.no/haandball/henter-landslagssjefens-datter/480763!/ |website=www.budstikka.no |language=no |date=12 June 2013 |access-date=16 January 2021 |archive-date=13 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220213130236/https://www.budstikka.no/haandball/henter-landslagssjefens-datter/480763!/ |url-status=dead }}

In 2014, Thorisdottir made the decision to return to football and began training with Klepp again.
