My name is Martha Montgomery. I have been a massage therapist since 1999. I came to massage after three years of physical therapy school at University of Maryland, Baltimore. I work mostly with people for whom massage has become a tool in their arsenal of self-care. I help people looking to manage stress when it is no longer a word, but a way of life they have tired from. I also help people with chronic pain, and our appointment, every week, every month, is a beacon of respite. I take great satisfaction in being part of the solution for people's pain. I also work with people who are under-touched and weary in their every day lives. This is a lot of us, and this is not spoken of as it should be. A lot of us need touch more than we get (go hug someone, now!). I also treat people who have made a change in their self-care, and have decided to add relaxation to their regimen, after understanding the health benefits. Finally, I see athletes (both competitive and not so much) who realize that soft tissue massage can speed healing, protect from injury and create a better internal understanding of your somatic self. 

    I own Catonsville Wellness Center, which offers a home right now to 35 different practices large and small. You can see more about what we offer at CatonsvilleWellnessCenter.com. We are all about honoring your health.

     I have background in Swedish and Deep Tissue, like all LMTs. I also have experience with myofascial release, peri pregnancy massage, hot stone massage and lomi lomi. I tend to use the tools that suit the goals the client and I have determined together and I am likely to incorporate several modalities in a session. I hope you will call me!
