Ayurveda

Martha provided an Ayurveda consult for me related to my complaints of chronic sinusitis and joint discomforts. I knew little about Ayurveda, but her approach was understandable and easy to incorporate into my lifestyle. I have especially benefited from some of the herbal recommendations, such as Nasya oil for the sinuses and some of the detox herbs for the joints. She provided a detailed list of foods that are beneficial and those best avoided for my constitution and she included a number of delicious recipes.

I am seeing physical improvements that I can attribute directly to her recommendations. I am impressed with the depth of Martha’s knowledge of Ayurveda and the ease with which she can translate this age old healing system into a personalized self care plan. Her sincere, compassionate approach, along with her extensive knowledge base, has earned my trust for future consults and enthusiastic recommendations to friends.

I thought I was pretty healthy when I began working with Martha. I was looking for ways to have more energy, I’m a kite-surfer, in good shape for 56, but was taking medicine for high blood pressure. With healthy skepticism I followed her recommendations. I told her I would have to do things gradually. She gave me simple changes to make. After a few weeks I noticed big changes. I lost weight and my mind seemed sharper, less fuzzy. I spent more time kitesurfing and wasn’t tired. My skin and hair are more healthy too. Yet, the biggest surprise was my blood pressure went down from 150/95 to 127/73. When I went to see my doctor he said I could stop the blood pressure medicine. I highly recommend working with Martha. It can change your life for the better. I cant wait to see more benefits over time.

I had an Ayurvedic Consultation with Martha. This is my first time working with the Ayurvedic healing, I am very impressed. I was having digestive problems that caused me to feel tired all the time and I had been gaining weight. I was also having problems with a reoccurring rash and joint pain.

Martha gave me some lifestyle recommendations, some ayurvedic nutritional supplements, and some recipes for my dosha…. to start out with. I have been having oat bran cereal in the morning with ghee and agave. It is delicious and very filling. Some mornings I make smoothies, which are also delicious. I have been making soups and warm cooked vegetables. I feel much better, less tired. I weighed myself yesterday and I lost 12 lbs. without trying or being on a diet.

Martha also made some recommendations for the rash and overall skin care. I was experiencing dry patches on my face and shoulders. I was attributed them to aging. I started using the ayurvedic oil she gave me and it cleared up all the skin problems.

One night my left knee was giving me much pain. I put some oil on the knee and when I woke the next morning the pain was gone.

Martha is so knowledgeable and caring. The information she gave me was thorough and easy to follow. I am excited to learn more as I continue down this path to health.

Energy Healing

~~ Working with Martha has changed my life. From her first touch I became aware that Martha is a genuinely gifted practitioner of several modalities of the Energetic Healing Arts. Her touch is intuitive, tender and compassionate. Working with Martha, I have experienced a very pure form of energetic healing. Martha has helped me become more aware of my Chakra system.

She is gifted at intuitively connecting the dots within the body, healing area after area. I was holding a great deal of anger and old patterning, and that was impacting my emotional stability. Within a few sessions I was able to feel a peace in my life that I had not experienced in years. After each session with Martha, I feel a renewed clarity of purpose; not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Martha is an authentic and powerfully intuitive healer. It has been a great joy to work with her.

I received Reiki in the past. That was my only experience with energy medicine. Martha explained that the treatment was designed to induce a deeper state of relaxation than massage. I lay on the table and let her go to work. I noticed the flow of energy from one area of my body to another and was able to allow this flow instead of worrying about everything I needed to accomplish that day.
I could feel endorphins being released and the wonderful feeling of well-being they produced. When she finished I felt completely relaxed and peaceful. I noticed that the feeling of peace and general well-being lasted for about three days. I realized that I spend a lot of time feeling pressure to get things done which over time dampens my ability to focus and be in touch with my intuition. Healing Touch is an excellent modality for restoring balance so that I can stay true to my intentions.

After a private treatment session with Martha I feel a foot taller. I stand up taller and feel as though I can take on what is coming next in my stressful business life. During a session I can feel my energy moving and shifting back into place and alignment, and after I have the ability to let more guidance in. I highly recommend this for anyone in a high stress situation.
