“As a teacher and body worker, Martha sets a gentle and consistent pace; never rushing and always leading with consent.”

“As a trans person, my cycle can be a super triggering / dysphoric thing for me to think about and engage with. Martha offered me a way into this difficult topic that was accessible and affirming. They were thoughtful, patient, and understanding; they checked in with me throughout our session, and made me feel so safe and held! I learned SO much and feel empowered to use my new knowledge. Definitely recommend their services to anyone out there, esp trans folks who are looking for a safe way into learning more about this tricky part of the body!”

“Martha’s hands are warm and strong. As a mom of two little ones, my muscles constantly ache from tension and stress, my time with Martha left me feeling relaxed, supported, and nurtured! She is attentive and caring to make sure I was comfortable throughout our time together. Her home-made pine infused oil, the bright and cozy room space, and the lovely warmth from the massage table made the experience extra special. If you are a mom or caretaker I highly recommend you to get a massage from Martha!”

“Martha was there for my partner and I in ways that words truly can’t describe. We made the choice to end a pregnancy and we were scared. Martha provided gentle responses, guidance, and support with voice memos, resourcing, and care packages. Martha made space for anxious emotions, listened and assured over and over that I was safe and I was heard. I felt seen, validated and supported. Every time Martha reached out, it felt like the warmest hug. Martha empowered me, made me feel understood and answered all my concerns even if I asked the same questions repeatedly. The process was smooth, ritualistic and honored every step of the way. I am so grateful we had her.”

“Taking these cycle tracking classes together with my love was such a joyful opportunity to learn about the mysterious mechanisms of my body, and to get past the shame of not knowing the things I thought I "should" know already. These classes were so full of information, but Martha's pacing is never overwhelming, and they are always responsive to what's actually happening for their learners. They were also full of laughter and fun--which is personally the way I learn best. I came out of this experience with more reverence (for bodies, for how much we do and don't know, etc.); respect for myself and my partner's ability to make informed decisions); curiosity; and excitement about putting all the things I'd learned into practice and being in closer relationship with my body and my self. So grateful to Martha for the tools to understand myself in so many more ways. I so recommend these sessions.”

“Martha is a natural teacher with a grounded understanding of the nuance, effectiveness and complexity of fertility management. Martha teaches with kindness and flexibility, providing both scientific information, interactive work, and anecdotes, all within a sacred space. I left the session mind blown by aspects of my own body and cycle which I had never understood before and the confidence to bring my partner into the practice as well as a renewed inspiration for tracking.”

“Martha has an amazingly warm and kind presence that makes it so easy to relax while receiving a massage. They are always deeply curious to understand how my body is feeling before we begin and also have such an intuitive sense of what kind of touch I am needing in the moment.”

Martha provided fantastic support for us as a doula. As first-time parents, we were dealing with a lot of uncertainty, and Martha helped us to navigate the emotional aspects of the journey, while also prioritizing developing pain management skills we would need during the labor. Their support during the labor was invaluable, and they worked seamlessly with the hospital team to keep mom cozy and calm (as much as possible).

“The support Martha was able to provide my partner and myself was profound. Being as it was our first pregnancy together it was a very nerve racking process from the start. My partner reached out to Martha for us and it was a seamless process, which alleviated the nerves that went along with a pregnancy. Ultimately, we decided to release the pregnancy as we thought that was what was best for the three of us and Martha’s support was there all throughout. From the care, the love, and the time that was put in by Martha to ensure my partners safety can’t be understated.”
