Center For Family Wellness

Marti Macon, L.M.B.T.

Marti Macon's photo not yet available Marti is a nationally certified massage therapist who has been in practice since July, 2000. She joined the staff at the Center for Family Wellness in 2003, in part because she believes so strongly in the holistic approach of the Center – namely the approach that views an individual’s health as a balance of the body, the mind, and the spirit.

While drawing upon long-established skills and techniques of conventional massage, holistic massage is performed with the mindset that the therapist is working with a whole person, not just isolated sets of muscles. It is this focus on the person, rather than just the muscles of the body, that Marti feels is a key factor in promoting balanced health in an individual.

Massage in itself does not heal, but it creates the conditions necessary for healing. It helps to balance the energy flow within the body. It affects one’s physical and psychological well-being, bringing forth sensations that have considerable benefit for both body and spirit. It can serve as a preventive health measure as well as an aid to healing or cure. The receiver is encouraged to take responsibility for his or her own state of health, thus becoming an active partner in the process.

Therapeutic massage can be an influence in the integration of one’s body, mind, and spirit as it pulls together the physical and spiritual aspects of our being. It integrates the person with the therapy, and it helps to relieve the emotional and physical manifestations of stress and tension that are present in our daily lives. The deep relaxation and healing that often occur as a result of therapeutic massage make this an excellent choice as part of a balanced approach to health and wellness.

Whether you are considering massage for stress management, deep-tissue neuromuscular treatment, injury rehabilitation, prenatal or post-partum care, or simply to relax and unwind, Marti will work with you to create the optimal therapeutic massage plan to meet your needs.
