Jacqueline Martin, LMT

Stream of Life Massage Therapy, LMT #NM3535I was born and raised in NM and have working on and off in town as a LMT for close to 13 years and recently graduated in December of 2011 with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Communication. I will have been at the High Desert location for close to 2 years in September. I have traveled cross country and done backstage massage at concerts and festivals and have done chair and table massage at many charities event like run for the zoo. After traveling many diverse paths in my personal life and traveling all around the United States, I have discovered along the way the simple, yet profound, healing experience of touch. I find its ability to ease the body, calm the mind, and nourish the spirit an amazing feeling and a new way of being. I believe that focused, professional touch - used with caution, sensitivity, and patience – can have profound results. Massage can relieve stress, restore range-of-motion and balance, and improve your overall quality of life. Massage may also reduce pain, relieve anxiety, provide comfort, and maintain a physical connection for the touch-deprived. Contact me today to book your next massage!Contact Jacqueline:
