Marta is a massage therapist, massage therapy instructor, and business owner of Purpose Massage, LLC. She attended massage school at Ke Kino Massage Academy & Institute of Healing in Plano, TX, where she wore many hats while employed there from 2015-2022. In July of 2022, she co-founded The HAVEN with business partner and friend, Kelsey Zellmer, BNS, RN, IBCLC. She is also on staff at Frisco Massage Therapy and Mind & Body Therapy, both in Frisco, TX.
Marta's training includes Craniosacral Fascial Therapy in the Gillespie Approach, CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute, Visceral Manipulation with the Barral Institute, as well as TMJD massage, lymphatic drainage, myofascial therapy, scar therapy, postpartum recovery, pregnancy massage, infant massage, and reflexology. In addition, Marta has attained specialized knowledge around TOTS (tethered oral tissues) through "guiding"/supporting infant frenectomy procedures, continuing education with the Breathe Institute and attending training with Michale Chatham, RN, LMT, IBCLC, OMT. She recently completed her training in Myofunctional Therapy with Sarah Hornsby, RDH, founder of MyoMentor.
Marta’s bodywork sessions are individually crafted to attend to the needs of each client and family she serves. Anything she has studied may be used during a bodywork session, depending on a client’s body tightness, history of trauma, accidents, surgeries, flexibility, how they breathe, diagnoses, medications, diet, workout habits, daily job, family life, etc. Culture pretty much keeps everyone folded up, tense, and in a forward posture, causing our bodies to make hundreds of compensations daily just to get through, and that tightness becomes a person’s new norm, unbeknownst to them, until they find their way to Marta’s table.
Prior to finding her purpose in the massage world, Marta graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor of Music, sang with the Dallas Opera Chorus, worked in corporate HR, and completed the first year of graduate studies in Music Therapy at the University of Kansas and in Biblical Counseling at Dallas Theological Seminary.
