Healing Through Connection
Founded by Martine Gorlier, Presidio Healing is an integrative therapy practice that blends Equine Sports Massage and Energetic Healing for horses to support physical and emotional well-being.
Martine Gorlier is a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist, graduating from EQUISSAGE in West Virginia in 2003. She is also a Certified Muscular Therapist, having completed her training at the Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge, MA in 2005, and holds national certification from the NCBTMB. In 2018, she earned a certification in International Medical Qigong and Tai Chi through Harvard University (TCMAAA).
Martine’s journey into equine massage began from a deep love for horses. Though she grew up horseless in Provence, France, she had a natural bond with the wild white “Camarguais” horses of the Camargue region.
From a young age, she felt gifted with the ability to connect with animals through touch—an intuitive, healing connection that never left her.
In 2003, she followed her calling and became an Equine Therapist, later deepening her understanding of the body by becoming a Muscular Therapist. Over the past 20 years, Martine’s intuitive healing hands have become central to her work. Trained in traditional energy healing methods like Qigong and Shinkiko, she believes deeply in the power of hands-on therapy.
Martine combines all her training—scientific and holistic—to help both animals and people find freedom from pain, in body and mind.
She recently relocated from Cambridge, MA to San Francisco to be closer to her children and now practices in The Presidio, a serene healing space nestled between the forest and the ocean.
