Testimonials

"When I came to Marty and The Sacred Tree Massage I was depleted, disappointed and still unhealed from #MeToo incidents. Marty made me feel eternally comfortable and Safe...safe to share any concerns. He was so patient and would proceed, at every turn checking in with me. I'm especially grateful for Marty's honest approach with examples from his own life! He risks growing with us and not clinging to the title Master for superiority! I can say, with the utmost faith, that being served by Marty all these years has been one of the finest healing experiences if my life!"

"I just experienced my first (and not my last) massage with Marty at the Sacred Tree. He is truly gifted and has healing hands. I entered his studio with a VERY tight neck and sore back and I left feeling like my head was floating. He used techniques that no other massage therapist has used on me and I have been in the hands of many. Marty has created a cozy and comfortable environment tucked into the back corner of Mill #1 at the Tannery in Newburyport. He has such a great energy about him that makes you feel relaxed... looking forward to my next treatment."

"I feel great gratitude to have found Marty. After recovering from cancer, I searched online for a Reiki Master and Massage Therapist. Every time I went for a test at the hospital, I would be ill. I needed to look in another direction to put me on the path to wellness. Having sessions with Marty helped me recover my health and he showed me that natural healing methods were powerful. He led me to that path. Marty truly deserves the title Master, for one knows immediately that he is skilled in the healing arts when one is fortunate enough to receive Reiki’s healing powers from this kind man. Each massage is different. Marty’s intuitive ministrations have helped give me my energy back.

It is rare when you encounter an individual that truly listens and cares about your well-being. When you step over the threshold of The Sacred Tree Massage and Reiki, you are greeted by just that individual."

"This testimonial is LONG overdue since I was your very first client oh so long ago…..Here is what I want people to know, in every session I experience your gifts. I am always able to release those emotions, feelings and stored up pains that do not belong in my physical or subtle body anymore. As these toxins move out I know that healing energy is flowing into those places helping me to leave more whole, more peace-filled and renewed in my Body, Mind and Spirit. I trust what I am experiencing when I am in the loving care of Marty’s work."

"I am writing in thanks for your dedication and compassion in the work you do. Your unique blend of massage and Reiki is just what I needed to allow me to continue work on my clients. I feel fortunate to receive an integrated bodywork session on a regular basis. You have a true gift, continue to be positive and make a difference in the lives of the people you touch. I speak for myself and, I'm sure your clients as well, when I tell you that your work is valuable and appreciated."

"I have been to Marty a few times and each was GREAT! He is truly gifted and has healing hands and demeanor. I have been to many massage therapists and Marty is one of the best! His techniques are very healing both physically and spiritually... Marty's space is very cozy and comfortable. He has a way of making you feel very relaxed as though you have known him all your life :) can't wait my next treatment."

"Coming for a massage leaves me with a feeling of calmness, peace and serenity. Marty can tell what I am in need of rather it be a massage, reiki or a combination of both. I always look forward to my appointment. I had won a gift certificate to the Sacred Tree three years ago and I have been coming every other weeks since then."

"I've been a client of Marty weekly since April of 2005. Before then, I had periodic episodes of lower back pain, sometimes mild and sometimes so bad that I could hardly move. I tried everything- specific lower-back exercises, conventional painkiller/muscle relaxer therapy from my physician and finally six months of 3 times/per week chiropractor visits prior to my first visit to Marty in April, 2005. In fact my last chiropractor visit was two days before I saw Marty for the first time. A friend of mine recommended him when she saw that I was still in pain and not getting better.

In summary- before I began seeing Marty, nothing helped- drugs, exercises, chiropractor visits- nothing helped.

Almost miraculously, after the very first session with Marty, and since then (for over 8 years now) I have not had a reoccurence of my back pain. After only one session I had dramatic relief from pain, and after the second session the pain was gone! Every once in a while (especially after heavy yard work or lifting) I feel a warning "twinge" in my back and Marty concentrates on my lower back in the next session. Marty- I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me."

"As a guy over fifty who is still trying to log miles running and biking, I have found Marty to be my deep muscle rehab specialist. I cannot say enough good things about Marty's ability to get me back on the bike or in my running shoes."

~David Hall

"I started going to Marty when I friend gave me a gift certificate instead of flowers when my Dad passed. My sessions with Marty helped to heal my grief and take care of my body at the same time. Marty is a gifted healer for body, mind and spirit."

~Dianne M.

"I have been going to Marty for about six years now, and would never think of going anywhere else. He knows just what to do to make whatever pain I am having go away instantly. I would never trust anyone the way I trust Marty. Not only is he great at what he does but he has an awesome personality as well! He makes you feel relaxed and at ease in his quaint office in the Tannery. I recommend The Sacred Tree to everyone I know. Don't take my word for it, make an appointment and find out for yourself!"
