About Align815
Hey everyone!
If we haven’t met already, let me introduce myself. My name is Mariyah Martinez and I am passionate about health and wellness.
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Yoga Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, and Level 1 Certified in Sound Healing. I am formerly certified in personal training, and have a background in bodybuilding and powerlifting.
My goal with align 815 is to use the tools I have acquired over my trainings, in order to help clients with mind, body, and spirit. A holistic approach to health and well being.
I want to create a safe space where people can come and ask questions about anything related to body & energy work, yoga, and sound healing. And also receive any of these modalities in a single session.
The Story
I started out giving just massage, but the further I get into this work, the more I am being guided to care for my clients at a deeper level.
I realize that people need WAY more than just massage, myself included.
They have aches and pains more than likely because of what their job or daily duties require. So I wanted to be able to teach people yoga postures that will help them unwind the knots in their body and mind. Stretches (also known as asana’s) designed specifically for whatever their daily activities require.
Getting certified in Yoga Instruction then led me to understanding the powers of our subtle/energy body. And how our mental body can affect our physical body, and vice versa. I found myself taking on clients pains and emotions and picking up on things intuitively throughout massage sessions. That’s where Reiki and energy healing comes in to play.
I have more recently been drawn to sound as a means for meditation and relaxation. I attended a few sound baths before I decided that this was something I needed to be incorporating into massage sessions and yoga classes. So I attended a three day sound healing immersion training with the Academy of Sound Healing. And from there, I have started to practice this every day on myself and with clients.
By blending all of these modalities together, and trusting my intuition, I hope to give my clients the tools and services they need to continue to heal themselves or at least start their journey.
While building my practice keeps me pretty busy, in my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (including our pup’s), practicing yoga, weightlifting, traveling, reading, dancing, and learning new things. I would consider myself a “foodie” as well as a movie buff.
Your healing is my healing.
