Martin is great at listening to your problem areas and working them out. He is extremely thorough and professional. I always leave feeling a lot better than when I came in.

Martin is wonderful. He is incredibly skilled and his massages are the only thing that has ever worked to fix my tension headaches. I have nothing but great things to say about him, his work, and his business.

Great massage. I feel so much better after the massage. He was thorough and my range of motion has increased already !!

I definitely recommend— I absolutely loved my massage! He clearly knows what he is doing and you can feel the amount of experience he has. I am looking forward to booking another massage in the future!

I am SO SAD I didnt find Martin sooner!! And even more sad that I only got to use him a few times before leaving the area. He is a hidden gem. Legitimately, the absolute BEST massage for tension release and relaxation. I have never had a massage that didnt bring me to tears (because parts of my body get SO VERY tense). However Martin has a magic touch that never put me in pain during the massage OR AFTER! I tried to bribe him to either travel with me or fly to where I was going to continue this but alas it didnt work out haha I will be booking with him when I come back home!
