healing through
connection
personal background
martine’s path to muscular therapy began with her work as a portrait sculptor, where she developed a deep understanding of form, structure, and the connection between body and expression. raised in the south of france among the wild camargue horses, she formed a powerful bond with animals and discovered an intuitive gift for healing through touch. this innate connection led her to become an equine therapist in 2003, and later a certified muscular therapist. drawing from over 20 years of experience, martine blends scientific training with holistic insight to offer a truly integrative approach to healing, one that nurtures both people and animals in body, mind, and spirit. martine recently moved from massachusetts to the bay area.
