Your Massage Therapist

Mission

The immediate goal is to empower the people of Portland to feel confident in understanding their bodies better by establishing several key intuitive self-care habits. The idea is to then expand that movement by encouraging clientele to teach others what they’ve learned, and on and on, creating a wake of wellness that ripples throughout the nation and eventually the world over a long enough time horizon.

Big Vision Purpose

Ultimately, the dream is to be able to significantly donate on an annual basis to meaningful organizations that help to clean and heal this Earth that we all share. Organizations that: clean our oceans, strongly discourage illegal fishing and poaching, educate farmers and landowners on how to utilize their land with efficient permaculture practices and soil amendment methods for sequestering massive amounts of CO2, reforestation movements, and more to give our sacred planet some well-deserved respect and begin reversing the damage of humankind’s industrious yet childish, nearsighted, and selfish history.

Martin’s massage style is always evolving into increasingly efficient methods by mixing modalities to best serve each client. The best term for it is “deeply transformative.”

The goal (from a mechanical standpoint) is to open the body and create space for all the extrinsic and intrinsic tissues to oxygenate, function more freely, and restore balance. Balance to the physical body also carries balance into the non-physical body, creating a distinct holistic experience.

To accomplish a deeply transformative result, the client must be open to receiving instruction on how to establish rapport and clear communication with their body.
Rapport + communication = compliance + trust.

Your body only gives you what you want when it trusts you. It’s not uncommon for a person’s body to misbehave out of mistrust. This is where we start our therapeutic approach!
