Martine is amazing! She saved me during my 2 pregnancies, especially this second one that brought me a lot of intense back, sciatic and neck/shoulder pain. Not only is she experienced and extremely knowledgeable about the body and pregnancy, but she is warm and great to work with. Her treatments have lowered my pain tremendously and helped me to enjoy the last few months of my pregnancy so much more. While the treatments are at times intense (alot due to the tightness of my muscles), the relaxation and relief that I get afterwards (for a couple of weeks) is well worth it! I highly recommend Martine for any muscular treatment/massage.
Thanks Martine!

Martine is extremely knowledgeable about how bodies are put together, and what can cause them to fall out of alignment. She's taught me how to better care for my muscles and fascia with stretching movements that help prolong the benefits of her wonderful massage and muscular treatment. I've worked with many massage & physical therapists, and have experienced the best and most dramatic improvement from Martine's work. If you struggle with chronic tension, recovery from injury, debilitating illness, or sports-related scar tissue, I can't give a higher recommendation. She makes me happy in my body again, and it is always a pleasure to see her.

I had been Martine's patient more than 10 years ago. At the time, I was constantly in pain, bent as an osteoporosis bit lady. Nothing my renowned hospital recommended helped me. Then I asked my Harvard educated physician, who was pretty skeptical about chiropractors in general, whether there are some REAL among them. He pointed at the clinic Martine worked and said: all others are BS (my apology for quoting directly).
When my problem was diagnosed as related to deep muscles, Martine took care of me. I found out that she was very trusted by sportsmen of Olympic caliber. In addition to being an experienced massage therapist, Martine is also has a medical diploma, which puts her above most of if not any competition.
The fact I never remembered about my back for about 11-12 years after her cycle (about 5-6 visits) is very telling. Maybe you don't hear about her often enough because her patients got healed totally and are not patents anymore. The reason I stumbled upon this site and is that I started looking for Martine as I am trying to help my mom.

It is unquestionable that Martine deserves a full set of stars. As noted by others, Martine's muscle therapy saved me. Also as noted by others, Martine is highly professional and a pleasure to work with.
I came to Martine with extreme lower back pain from sports related scar tissue. I had gone to the doctor, receiving muscle relaxers. I cannot take medications like that and remain functional so I needed another immediate solution as well as a long-term resolution. After that I tried chiropractic work, receiving excellent help. However I realized the muscle work around the spine and sacrum was how I received true relief. From there I began trying deep tissue sports massages where I found immediate relief from the pain when it cropped up. Then I found Martine. Martine's treatments not only resolved the problem but also like others note, Martine gave me tools to help care for myself, extending the work and enabling me not to return reinjured.
With the lower back now under control, with no further debilitating pain, I have since gone to Martine for treatment packages to repair specific muscles - once an upper arm and another a calf and most recently work on my forearm. Sometimes I arrive with the muscle almost unusable and within sessions I have full and pain-free flexibility and mobility. Honestly, the muscles of focus are healthier than their supposed healthy counterpart on the opposing arm or leg. Moreover, and again, the repaired areas do not return to their original injured state.
My favorite story to tell of working with Martine over these last years is that the year I turned 40 my doctor's office measured me a quarter inch taller than I have ever been measured!

Best therapist ever! She literally saved me. I found her through my neighbor who is Martine's client for many years. Martine has a lot of clients with MS and other serious illnesses. She is highly professional and very positive person. Many many thanks!

I adopted a senior chihuahua from Muttville who has a lot of trauma from being a backyard breeding mama. She was apparently kept in a cage and bred too many times. Martine has magical hands. She has been able to help Maia through gentle massage and energetic healing. Maia has blossomed into the chi she was meant to be thanks to Martine! I highly recommend her services.
