REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Maureen on Nov 05
How can an already accomplished massage therapist get even better? Martin has and his is by far the best massage I have ever experienced. He works on his craft and this customer is deeply appreciative.

Excellent experience

Martin always takes a moment to visit with me about how I’m doing and areas of focus for each massage session. He is thoughtful, kind, and professional. His combination of pressure point work and relaxation techniques are just right for me. These sessions are part of my overall care plan for reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines.

I’m grateful Martin has the knowledge and skills to help heal underlying issues that cause pain and tension. I had been in pain for two weeks during a big project and not sleeping as well due to pain waking me. I scheduled an afternoon session the day after I completed my project and felt immediate relief that day. That night I also slept through the entire night. He will chat with you during a session or remain silent based on your needs. Always a great experience with Martin! Thankful for him.

Martin was great. This was my first shiatsu massage, he listened to me with care and understanding, explained how he will concentrate and conduct the massage, and checked in during the massage. Would definitely see again.
