when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens."

Quantum Kindness is a grand tapestry of divine consciousness that holds all things with unconditional kindness, including human frailty and suffering. It is at the core of our essential nature. As humans, we cannot grasp this level of kindness with our minds alone, but we can feel it in our bodies and allow it to touch our lives. And in so doing, we are transformed.

About Me
Like all of us, I play many roles in life.
Professionally, it is a true honor to serve as a healer, coach, and teacher. I have been a massage therapist for 32 years. A psycho/spiritual healer for 16 years. A licensed acupuncturist for 10 years. And a certified transformational life coach for 4 years.
And for the last 19 years, I have been on faculty in the Massage Therapy Program at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN, helping to prepare other fortunate souls to enter this most honorable profession.
If you'd like to know more about my professional life, click here to read my full resume.
Personally, I am a husband, father, friend, and family member.
While all these roles are important on one level, they do not define me. At my core is Love & kindness; an ocean of compassion and a deep well of wisdom, cultivated over the course of many decades of inner exploration. Of struggle and searching, breakthroughs and healing.
“The One” & The Curious Paradox of Being Human
I am a highly sensitive being. From childhood until this moment, I’ve experienced the world on a deep level. I see things that others cannot see (clairvoyance). I hear voices in my head (clairaudience). I sense things in my gut that in truth I should not know (clairsentience). This has been both a blessing and a challenge, as today’s world is not kind to sensitive souls like me. Even less so in the 60’s when I was growing up. To survive, I denied my sensitive nature. Which is to deny my essence; my very existence. Add to the mix some difficult childhood trauma, and you have a recipe for suffering. A young man in turmoil and in resistance to life itself.
It didn't work. In my 20s, the voices in my head broke through my resistance, and I began to hear them. And this freaked me out. Concerned for my mental health, I sought help, which I gratefully found, in the form of enlightened therapists and healers. I came to learn that I was not losing my mind. The voices were not mine, they were coming from…somewhere else.
So I began to pay attention. I listened. I asked questions. I spent many an hour in dialogue with these friendly voices. They guided me, challenged me, answered my questions, conveyed deep wisdom and perspective on many aspects of my life, and life in general. They are with me now as I teach and when I act as healer and coach. They have been my constant companions for the last 35 years.
A few years ago, I asked the voices what to call them. They said, “We are ‘The One’. Not as in “the chosen one”. As in, “everything that exists is One.” They represent the unity of all things.
Blessed though I was to have a relationship with “The One”, I have kept this aspect of my life hidden, certainly from the world, and sometimes from myself, for I did not want to appear to the world like a oddball. I’m like everyone else~I want to be loved and accepted by the community.
It takes a lot of energy to deny this aspect of my life. To keep myself split in many parts and in resistance to what is. To life itself. I felt stuck with a capital ‘S’, afraid to simply be myself.
But the call of my soul, my essence, the part of me who hears “The One”, did not subside. “Grow,” it exclaimed! “Be yourself, express yourself. Be the Love that you are!”
Caught Between Worlds
So, there I was, caught between my soul’s longing to grow and express itself, and my ever-present human fear. This inner battle of wanting to grow AND demanding to stay the same was grinding my mind to a nub. Thus, I know firsthand the deep pain of feeling stuck. I understand the desperate feeling that I simply must change in order to feel okay in my own skin. And to also feel afraid to change.
This way of being was unsustainable; I had to find a different way to be in life.
So, slowly, over many years, I changed my approach. I am making peace with fear and turning toward my sacred soul as the only true source of the life that I seek. In truth, I am my soul. I am Love (and so is everyone else). When I remember that, it changes everything.
It is not, nor has it ever been, an easy path, this feeling caught between worlds. But I can say in this moment that I am truly and deeply grateful for every moment, for I have grown immeasurably and learned many hard-won truths along the way.
And, the most profound & potent truth that I have learned is this: That the way to the life that I am called to live lies in surrendering to kindness. Quantum Kindness, toward all of me – my brilliance and my limitations, my light and my shadow, my joy and my suffering.
This truth, the truth of “The One”, infuses my work as a healer, coach, and teacher.
Finally, there is a Buddhist philosophy that I cling to; it’s called “The Bombu”. Literally translated, bombu means “foolish being”. It holds that all humans are foolish beings, spiritually blind and stumbling around on Earth. And that we all deserve unconditional compassion. This notion touches and calms me on a level that words cannot express. And so, my fellow bombus, I invite you to join me on this ride called life. Let’s stumble through it together.

My Challenging Career as a Healer And How You Can Benefit From It
My holistic healing career has been a winding and challenging journey, and you can benefit from it. Here's my story.I graduated from massage therapy school in 1992 with well-trained hands and a heart full of love. I was released into the world to make my mark; but I had no clear vision, no business experience, no confidence, no accountability, no idea how to manage the therapist-client energy exchange, and no professional support.
Over the last 33 years, I have added multiple techniques to my toolkit--Acupuncture, Quantum Healing, Life Coaching, and more. While I loved the pure act of healing and being of service to my clients and patients, being a holistic healer has been a hard path. I wandered and stumbled through my career for years, experiencing confusion and heartache. I:
- Struggled to get clients, thus always worried about money.
- Jumped from job to job, as I often needed to supplement my private practice income.
- Accepted clients that challenged my ethics and integrity.
- Crossed my own boundaries by scheduling clients outside my normal work hours.
- Crossed my own boundaries again by allowing clients to chat endlessly before and after the session.
- Felt isolated and lonely in practice by myself.
- Hurt my body.
- Neglected my needs for the benefit of my clients.
- Went to work even when injured or sick.
- Rarely took a vacation.
- Often gave clients more table time than they paid for.
- Felt drained at the end of the workday.
- Was stuck in my career and confused about my path.
- Felt Disconnected from the passion that brought me into this field in the first place.
- Questioned whether or not I was even in the right field.
- Felt scared to take the steps my heart was calling for.
Looking BackWhen I look back now on my career, I feel…exhausted. Yes, I met many amazing people and got to serve them in deep and profound ways and for that, I am truly grateful. But it was so hard!
I didn’t know that:
💢Creating a clear heart-centered vision for the journey ahead is essential. And magical!
💢A guide and mentor can ease the way. The right person grounds and stabilizes us, gently nudges us inward and forward, ideally with love.
💢It is so important to connect with peers and colleagues! It’s odd to say that being a healer is a lonely profession since we work with people all day long. But our clients are not our peers or colleagues; we nourish and give to them, but it is not reciprocal (nor should it be). And since I am an introvert, I did not naturally seek out other healers to connect with. I mostly stayed in my own world, and I was lonely.
💢My highly sensitive and open nature was draining me dry! I did not know that I was merging energetically with my patients and clients with no thought of boundaries. I gave them my best energy and took on their pain. So many times, clients came in with an ache or pain; they would leave refreshed and feeling great, but I felt drained and achy!
💢I was denying my own needs for the benefit of my clients. Whatever the client wanted was what I gave. Want more pressure? You got it, I’ll strain my forearms for you. Want the room warmer? No problem, I’ll sweat til I swoon. Want a little bit extra on your neck even though I’ve said our time is up? Okay, I'll give you some of my precious break time. Who needs to use the bathroom anyway?
💢Managing the dynamics of the therapist--client relationship is foundational to the wellbeing of both.
If only I’d known all of this 30 years ago.My Journey Continues as a Teacher
In May 2005, I joined the massage therapy faculty at Northwestern Health Sciences University as a clinic supervisor and classroom teacher, and I'm still there, nearly 20 years later. In my time at Northwestern, I have had the humble pleasure and brilliant joy of teaching and training hundreds of other budding MTs.These blessed beautiful souls come into school with open hearts and a desire to serve. And I foresee some of the same struggles for them that I experienced, for I am intimately familiar with the psyche of a healer. I am one, and I know our general make-up. I know where we struggle and where we shine. I see these students headed into their professional lives with no clear vision, no support, and little understanding of the challenges ahead.
As I say to them in class, "I want you to have a long, happy, healthy, prosperous massage therapy career." I so want that for all healers, including you! It is absolutely possible! But without professional support, it can be a hard and lonely path.
How I Can Serve YouMy holistic healing career has been a winding journey filled with challenges, but I am deeply grateful for it, as I met and served many amazing people, and I learned and grew so much along the way.
But it didn’t have to be so hard, I think. If I'd had a professional mentor & guide, someone to anchor me to a vision and challenge me (with kindness), I would have had a smoother, more fulfilling and prosperous career.
So, I am here to offer you just that--professional support from a man who has walked the territory. And not just the terrain of the outer life of a healer. I've also traveled far and deep inside myself to unearth the roots of my own being--my shadow and my brilliance. Click here to read more about me and my training and experience.Out of my vast experience & training as a holistic healer, I have created three avenues of support for other healers.
I created this framework of support because I know that there are many holistic healers in the world with great gifts and huge hearts who truly bless the world with their amazing work--and they stumble down the same bumpy road that I traversed. Many throw up their hands in resignation and give up the profession far too soon, simply because they lacked support and perspective. The world is deprived of their gifts, which is sad! I am here to offer a different path.

Quantum Kindness Multi-Dimensional Healing
"You are pure Love. Anything else that you experience is not really you. It's time to make peace with your humanity and awaken your brilliance. To heal, be yourself, and live a life that you would love.”~Quantum Kindness
The Paradox of Growth & Resistance
If you are like me, then some part of you longs for change. To grow into your most expanded self, reach your full potential, and live the life of your dreams. To be the Love that Quantum Kindness® says that you truly are.
Meanwhile, other parts of you resist change with all their might.
And there you are, caught in the middle, torn between the primal call to grow and the desperate need to stay the same.
Resistance!Unresolved, this inner conflict leads to ‘problems’ in our daily lives. Do you experience any of the following?◈You feel chronically stuck--frustrated and dissatisfied in some area of your life.
◈You struggle with relationships.
◈You experience financial lack and insecurity.
◈You experience chronic physical dis-ease.
◈Your daily actions do not match your inner callings and longings.
◈You let fear & resistance stop you cold.
◈You drift through life without ever giving time and attention to your dreams and passions, the things that light you up.
◈You often compare yourself to others and feel 'less than'.
◈You negate your own needs for the benefit of others.
◈You curse and belittle yourself on a regular basis.
◈You find yourself stuck in the past, rehashing & recycling mistakes that you've made and wrongs done to you.
◈You feel that growth is eluding you and life is passing you by.
◈You feel a nagging sense of regret building inside.
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, congratulations! By acknowledging your struggle(s), you take a step toward healing. Toward blending together the primal energies of growth and resistance and creating a life that you love💙.A word of encouragement: It is normal for us to have flashes of awareness, then let them pass and go back to normal life. Don’t do it! Now is the time to act before ⌁resistance⌁ talks you out of it. Take a step toward the life that calls to you before you drift back to the maze of suffering and struggle. Take a deep breath, untie the knot in your belly, and decide to change.
I am here to be of service to you. I am intimately familiar with all of the above, I’ve lived it for decades. And it is one of my missions to make my suffering useful to others.
Born of my own struggles, victories, and a multitude of training & experience, I have created a transformational process called Quantum Kindness® Multi-Dimensional Healing, which combines my 30+ years of healing, coaching, and teaching.
What is Quantum Kindness ®?Quantum Kindness® is a grand tapestry of divine consciousness that holds all things with unconditional kindness, including human frailty and suffering. It is at the core of our essential nature. As humans, we cannot grasp this level of kindness with our minds alone, but we can feel it in our bodies and allow it to touch our lives. And in so doing, we are healed and transformed.
What are the benefits of Quantum Kindness Multi-Dimensional Healing?
When we are in need of healing, we may feel as though some essential piece(s) of us is missing. This feeling leads to a sense of unease and has real world consequences, as it leads us to make choices that are not truly in our best interest.
The root of the phrase ‘to heal’ is ‘to make whole’. Thus, when we heal, we bring together all aspects of ourselves so that we may live life from a sense of wholeness. Then we can make choices with more of us weighing in on the path to a happier, more productive life.
Thus, the benefits of healing are many. On a very practical level, you may:
✅Improve your relationships, as you create a deeper connection with yourself.
✅Heal physical ailments, as your natural flow of energy is restored.
✅Create more money, as you begin to express your gifts.
✅Take steps toward your dream career.
✅Gain clarity about the circumstances of your life~why things are the way that they are.
✅Take responsibility for those circumstances and begin to change them.
✅Find your power! You are more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
✅Create a vision for a life that you would love.
✅Get unstuck, as you gain new perspectives on old habits & patterns, the things that hold you back.
✅Heal the unhealed places within you.
✅Unburden yourself--let it out, in a very safe place. All of you will be seen and accepted.
✅Increase your level of heartfelt joy & inner peace as you learn to accept your suffering.
✅Gain more energy for life, as you learn to use less energy defending against life.
The goal of all of this? To be yourself and live a more authentic life! The life that your heart and soul are calling for. It is sacred work, and it would be my honor to do this sacred work with you!
My Healing & Coaching Philosophy
As a Quantum Kindness Multi-Dimensional Healer and Inspirational Teacher, I believe that:
✦Your life is meant to be a wayward & winding journey; a spiral filled with joy and blessing, questions and challenges.
✦Thus, your challenges are not nuisances to be expunged from your life. They are part of the oneness of existence--light & shadow, Yin & Yang, suffering and joy. It's all part of the wholeness of life, and we cannot have one without the other.
✦Seen in this way, your challenges are really opportunities, for learning and growth.
✦Nothing outside of you is real. All change begins within, then emanates outward into your life.
✦You have the power within to transform any challenge into an opportunity.
✦In truth, the answers to all your questions already live inside you.
✦YOU are responsible for the circumstances of your life! When you really get this, it is so empowering and can lead to the freedom that you seek.
✦Quantum Kindness and spiritual grace are all around and within us, holding us and our challenges with unconditional love, acceptance, and support.
✦You are a multi-dimensional being, which means that:
1) As a human being, you are subject to the laws of the physical world, and impacted by your environment, physical condition, thoughts and belief systems (conscious and subconscious), identity, emotions, ancestors, breathing patterns, nervous system, and much more. Tending to your humanity with Quantum Kindness is essential to healing and transformation.
2) You are so much more than your humanity. You are a soul, powerful beyond measure and made of Love. You are a brilliant light with nearly unlimited creative potential.
3) Healing and transformation happen when you explore your humanity and your soul and blend them together. When you see, accept, and create a relationship between all aspects of yourself. All with Love, with quantum kindness, as a foundation.
As your healer and coach, my role is to accompany you on your journey, as you uncover your own answers, find your authentic heart, and begin to see yourself and your life anew.
What Happens During a Quantum Kindness Multi-Dimensional Healing Session?My approach to healing and coaching is simply to be present – to you, myself, and the subtle and physical energy between, around, and within us. And to use the many tools and techniques that I have learned over the years. Not every session includes all of the following techniques, but they are all available to me and thus, you, to support you in creating a happier more authentic life.
Here are just some of the techniques that I use in a healing session:
❤️Dialogue & Self-Inquiry—I will listen deeply to you and ask you powerful questions to bring you to a
new level of awareness.
❤️Checking in with your body. Your body is a powerful guidance system for your life. Your body is
where your life happens, right here, right now! Learning to listen to your body is an essential and very
powerful tool. Thus, throughout our sessions, I will regularly ask you what you are feeling in your body.
❤️Exploring the shadow—the parts of you that you hide, deny or resist.
This includes generational patterns in your family line. There is great
power hidden in the shadow.
❤️Bringing your attention to the present moment.
❤️Balancing the nervous system, which calms your fears and gives you
more space to be present.
❤️Breathing with intention. Of all the tools that I've explored, breathwork
is among the most powerful.
❤️Traditional Chinese Medicine, including psychic acupressure.
❤️Activating your light body (spiritual aspects of you) by using sacred
geometry, balancing your chakras (energy centers in the body), and
raising your vibration.
❤️Quantum Jumping: Going backward in time to bless your past self
and/or forward in time to learn from your future self.
❤️Guiding you to create a vision for your life by starting with the question,
"What would you love in your life right now?"
❤️Leading you through meditations and activities to explore other aspects
of your multi-dimensional life.
❤️Meeting you with kindness.
❤️Gently challenging you inward and forward.
❤️Respecting you as the highest authority of your life.
The foundational principle that I hold during our sessions is that I am not the healer. I may act as guide and mirror, but you and your own spirit are the true healers of your life. And true healing comes when you hold the entirety of your life with Quantum Kindness.
If you feel a spark of interest in what you have read, and you have questions, then follow that spark and reach out to me.

Testimonials
The things you're teaching us will come back to us over and over when we're working with clients, and just in life in general, and will make us better MTs and better humans. You're doing really good, important, life-shifting work. How lucky we all are! Thank you. And congratulations on the (well-deserved) Teacher of the Year award!
Lisa, MinneapolisStudent Thanks so much for being an excellent mentor. I have felt much support from you as I’ve navigated through many personal fears to pursue my education and career as a massage therapist. Thank you so much for all of your words of wisdom, compassion, and encouragement. Thank you, too, for your gentle spirit! Thanks for all you do to guide students in their personal and professional journeys of growth.
Jen, MinneapolisStudent I enjoyed being here, I really did! This was the best journey into self I have ever had, and a fire is ignited. I hope you have more classes like this 😊❤.
Mirael, MinneapolisStudent I will always be touched by you helping me during a stressful time. You are a gift to this world, and I hope I can become more like you as time goes on. Thank you for everything, I've learned so much from you. I am more grateful than I could put into words.
Hannah, MinneapolisStudent Just wanted to say thank you. After coming from a life of being corrected and instructed and condemned, your kindness and feedback just leaves me feeling so affirmed in who I am. And thank you especially for your mercy today; that alone is healing. Thank you for listening, and letting me just talk. It’s hard to find someone who will let me stumble through finding the words for things, and let me be squirmy and agitated and awkward while I figure out how to say them—because they bring up a lot, and it’s hard. The questions you asked and the feedback you gave actually gave me a lot to work with.
Bethany, MinneapolisStudent For years I have been searching for someone who can hear my story without trying to fix me. To be truly present to someone who is in great pain is not easy, but Martin has been able to do that for me. The result is I have been able to go deeper into my grief and feel what I could only hide for years. The pain is still great, but now I have had the experience of being accepted for who I truly am. More and more I have been able to give that gift of compassion and kindness to myself.
Kathy, MinneapolisHealing Client Martin's way of psycho/spiritual healing has been an ideal match for me. Martin's capacity to listen deeply and ask simple and yet provocative questions has lead me toward healing, and toward healing myself. While not being "confrontational", he opens me to my own awareness by creating a non-judging clearing that encourages my own Self to explore what lies inside me. So I never feel that it is his agenda we are following, but rather, always mine. I would recommend him to anyone who wants their deepest soul-aspects to flourish and come forward.
Larry, MinneapolisHealing Client Thank you for being such a kind, patient teacher. You have been a positive influence on me. I will never forget you ❤️.
Rachel, MinneapolisStudent Thank you for making my (education) so much fun and eye-opening. I just want to express my gratitude towards you for being such a great mentor to me.
Lexi, MinneapolisStudent Thank you, Martin, for being you! You are one special teacher and I think it was divine order that brought me to this massage program. You have made more of a difference in my little world than you’ll ever understand! Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, greeting me, and taking interest in my journey.
