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. Thank you for listening to me, being there for me, and guiding me to the answers within me. I have learned so much from you and hope to have many opportunities to learn more!
