Structural Bodywork and Therapeutic Massage Therapist

I recently retired after a 36-year career as a Mechanical Engineer to become a massage therapist, another passion that is very close to my heart.  I first learned about massage therapy as a student at Gonzaga University.  I agreed to be the “demonstration body” for a classmate’s presentation if he would teach me his techniques.  After that I started using the techniques on family and friends.

I recently retired after a 36-year career as a Mechanical Engineer to become a massage therapist, another passion that is very close to my heart.  I first learned about massage therapy as a student at Gonzaga University.  I agreed to be the “demonstration body” for a classmate’s presentation if he would teach me his techniques.  After that I started using the techniques on family and friends. 

When my youngest daughter was 4 she suffered a serious face wound caused by a vicious dog attack.  During her recovery process, a close friend put a newspaper ad for Swedish massage training on my work desk with a note saying “This is for you.”  I began my official training and discovered a world of alternative medicine that had been scientifically proven to help improve recovery from an injury or illness, prevent disease, and relieve stress.  Two years after the dog attack my daughter was still experiencing nightmares even though her physical wounds had healed perfectly.  During my massage training I had pursued a technique known as Craniosacral Therapy and after the first treatment on my daughter, her nightmares stopped.  I became a believer.

Over the years I have continued to help provide relief and relaxation to family and friends through Swedish, Craniosacral, and other massage techniques.  In 2014 I retired from Engineering Research and Development and my wife, Barbara, and I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada.  In 2015 I received my Nevada Massage Therapist license after completing an 815.5 hour curriculum that included a 120 hour clinical internship with the Nevada School of Massage Therapy.  My current massage practice is twofold:  (1) I have my own practice at Natural Wellness Centers (Las Vegas) three days a week, and (2) I am available for outcall and volunteer work two days a week.

I wish it wasn't at my house! :D

The music was very soothing. Martin was thorough and patient. He took time to answer all my questions completely. I never felt rushed. He was respectful of my body and gentle in his ministrations. I enjoyed my lymphatic drainage massage very much
by Barbara on Dec 05
Martin not only attempts to heal, but he also educates, which makes the experience more rewarding. I have been intrigued with the possibilities his techniques may achieve in relieving some of the post surgical issues I have had with my foot,

There are massage therapists and there is Martin. He is truly gifted at what he does and is willing to explain and educate on what he sees beneath the skin with his hands. I felt extremely comfortable, relaxed and literally in good hands.
by Violet on Sep 18
Martin was very informative throughout the whole session and continually explained each procedure. Within 24 hours, I was feeling a 90% improvement.
by Bobbi on Aug 14
I loved how comfortable Martin made me feel, explained everything to me, taught me a few things, and just melted me into butter!! I can't want for my next massage!!
