Martha Henslee
Marty Henslee remembers her first massages as back rubs given by her mother on hot Tennessee summer nights in the days before air conditioning. One of Marty’s proudest moments was when her mother trusted her enough to allow her to massage away muscle aches after she had helped her mare with a difficult birth.
She was exposed to Touch For Health in 1985 when she worked for Jeanne Girard in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where she helped vacationers recover from their ski adventures.
She rediscovered Touch For Health when she took Arlene Green and Matthew Thie’s home study course for TFH 1. The DVD and its emphasis on Zip Up, Switch On, Tune In really helped Marty master accurate muscle testing. It was the missing piece.
Since discovering Arlene Green’s SNERT work, Marty has combined it with her Fascial and Reflexology knowledge. Marty is thrilled to help clients maintain their fascial freedom for longer periods of time. She celebrates that her clients use these techniques to help themselves.
