My name is Rodrigo Martins and I have been a Massage Therapist for over 25 years, for the last 13 years living and practicing in Austin, Texas.

My educational background is unique because it draws from both Occidental and oriental traditions. I began my massage training as a traditional live-in apprentice (uchi-deshi) to Dr. Toshio Reishin Kawai, a Japanese master in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Under his steady tutelage and busy clinical schedule, I spent 3 years training in the theoretical foundations and clinical applications of Shiatsu, specifically a technique called Kangen Jutsu. When I began my LMT course at Core Institute in Tallahassee, Florida I had already been working professionally with Massage Therapy for 9 years in Brazil.

For me, my training in Aikido is fundamentally integrated into my massage practice and vice-versa. I have trained Aikido for over 20 years and today am a third-degree black belt. I have found it important that Aikido reveals a posture of integration, centering, and flow of energy that I feel are fundamental also in the practice of massage, or any other healing modality.

My passion for Nonviolent Communication has been a powerful tool to enhance physical work, and so has the practice of Vipassana Meditation, which has helped me through the years to be sensitive at deeper levels and offer my clients a consistently higher quality of presence.
I bring as tools 20+ years of Body Listening Practice through Massage and Bodywork, Aikido, and Meditation.
