dual healing approach

muscular therapy

among the many muscular therapy methods available, the benjamin system of muscular therapy stands out as the most effective, and it is martine’s area of expertise. developed in the 1960s by ben benjamin, PhD, founder of the muscular therapy institute in cambridge, MA, this comprehensive bodywork system combines techniques such as swedish massage, pregnancy massage, lymphatic drainage, deep tissue work, sports massage, myofascial release, friction therapy, scar tissue release, neuromuscular therapy, and trigger point release. the benjamin system is designed to address muscle dysfunction caused by pain, weakness, injury, or post-surgical recovery, offering clients a targeted and deeply therapeutic approach to healing.

energetic healing

qigong / shinkiko: rooted in traditional japanese and chinese holistic medicine, qigong and shinkiko work by influencing the body’s electromagnetic energy—directing qi/ki (life force energy) to clear stagnation, eliminate toxins, and restore energetic balance. this practice enhances overall health and helps prevent disease in both people and animals.

when paired with muscular therapy, energetic healing offers a more durable, long-lasting path to wellness. it is especially effective for addressing physical and emotional imbalances, reducing anxiety, depression, and stress, improving sleep, and supporting recovery from conditions such as cancer, childbirth, and surgery. this integrative approach promotes deep, sustainable healing for body, mind, and spirit.

important notes

muscular therapy and energetic healing are not substitutes for medical or veterinarian care. martine gorlier does not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medical treatments.

for animals showing signs of abuse, anxiety, fear, nervousness, or aggression, it is recommended to begin with energetic healing before any hands-on treatment is be administered. animals are deeply intuitive and responsive to human energy fields, which can influence their behavior and healing process.

how to prepare for your animal's session: please ensure a calm, safe, and quiet environment for the session to take place. further tailored guidance will be provided upon booking.
