Testimonials
Healing Arts |
I highly, highly, highly recommend Dr.
Sandrine Martin. She is absolutely amazing. She's so much more than a
chiropractor. She incorporates an incredible multitude of practices into
her work. Unlike every other chiropractor I've ever seen, she doesn't use
any 'gadgets.' She uses energy testing to figure out anything/everything
she needs to know. She just sold her x-ray machine, because she never used
it. I discovered her when my baby girl was 2 months old. On top of everything else, Dr. Sandrine is an incredible cranial-sacral specialist. I've been seeing her (along with my two little ones) for about a year now. She's up in the Davidson/Cornelius area (77 north to exit 28). She's sooooo worth the trip, though. Pat "After having a complete hysterectomy, I chose to
seek alternative medicine to alleviate my post menopausal symptoms. I contacted the Center
for Holistic Instructions in Davidson and was directed to Dr. Sandrine . Dr.
Sandrine's sincere, caring manner always puts me at ease as she answers the questions I may
have. "The encounter with Joe last summer was one of these events one
never forgets, simple and straight. The gentle touch of hands and mind has opened a door
for which I was looking for a very long time, and in spite of all the teachers and healers
I saw passing by in all the years of inner search Joe could tell without reservation what
he believed and what to do about it. The combination of several techniques and the gentle,
open and spontaneous wisdom is what makes the 'touch' strong. My knees will always
remember these qualities and the man who represents them. Thank you Joe. " "I feel blessed to have found Dr. Sandrine . I came to her with a variety of
health problems which I had suffered from for over three years, ranging from tremendously
painful fibromyalgia and stomach problems to migraine headaches. Dr.
Sandrine even diagnosed
a serious thyroid condition that my many previous doctors failed to find. Thanks to Dr.
Sandrine's genuine concern and determination to help me, my health is finally
improving! I feel that Dr. Sandrine is a truly caring, dedicated and skilled
professional who really takes the time to listen to me about how I am feeling. She has
taught me the value of a positive attitude, and most importantly, she has given me hope.
With Dr. Sandrine on my side, I am looking forward to a future of better health with much
less pain. She has made a huge difference in the quality of my life, and her efforts bring
great results." |
Martial Arts |
"The balance, sensitivity and the meditative aspect
of tai-chi has enhanced my external martial arts practice by helping me to blend with the
energy of my training partners." RC North Carolina, USA "I have been studying Tai Chi now for over a year, and its
benefits abound! My balance (both physical and emotional) has improved, and I feel more
graceful. I believe my golf and skiing have improved because of practicing Tai Chi. My
neck, which was always tight, and stressed, is now balanced and pain-free." "Master Martin's approach to Tia Chi is unique in my experience. He teaches
with patience and at a level his students can absorb individually. He not only
teaches the form as a fluid motion physical exercise, he shows the inner connection to
each part of the form. Even someone not particularly graceful such as myself finds
fluidity in the form Master Martin has perfected over a lifetime of work. He
incorporates many different aspects of martial arts as well as a holistic approach to the
healing arts of the Chi life force energy. The benefits are both physical (creating
balance and general health) plus mental by creating a center within that relieves stress
and promotes mental harmony. I have been a 57 year old student for about a year and
will probably continue with Master Martin for the rest of my life. In fact, Tia Chi
for me is a way of life." |
Bodywork |
Joe is fantastic. He takes the time to listen to what your needs are. He explains what is going on with your body. And best of all I always walk out feeling wonderful. I highly recommend his services. Lisa
"I have been receiving massages for years at certain spas and resorts, due to a lot of tension with work and not to mention; I just love to be pampered. I guess I was having a bad week, because my fiancé scheduled me a massage at CHI. I was very skeptical and expected this to be a one-time visit experience. Was I surprised in all my many sessions of the past, no one had asked me about how I wanted to feel after my massage, about my total well-being and the reason for wanting massage therapy. Joe Martin has taken the extra time in getting to know me with respect; truly caring about my body. Since beginning sessions, Joe's professional treatments leave me feeling totally relaxed and peaceful. The tension and stress in my muscles has improved tremendously as well as noticing calmer relationship with family and friends. I leave each one-hour session as if I've been on a weeks vacation. My motivation to eat healthier is attributed to Joe's competent treatment. I think anyone who has considered a massage should give this family owned facility a try. Every staff member I have met have been extremely friendly, professional and caring. Thank you Joe for giving me the best massage therapy without my going to some great distance, I look forward to continue my treatment with you."
At the start of each massage session, when Joe first places his hand on me, I feel such relief, like I'm going to be nurtured. I recognize that I felt tense and fatigued, until his techniques bring new life to my body. His touch is truly rejuvenating! AP - Cornelius, NC
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I BEGAN MASSAGE THERAPY WITH JOE MARTIN ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WHEN I STARTED THE TREATMENTS, I WAS SO INHIBITED IN MOVEMENT ON MY RIGHT SIDE THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY PAINFUL TO WALK AND TO BEND OVER TO PUT MY SHOES ON CAUSED EXCRUCIATING PAIN. I HAD BEGUN TO WALK WITH A LIMP TO TRY TO HOLD BACK THE PAIN. AFTER A FEW SESSIONS OF VARIED TREATMENTS, ONE OF WHICH WAS TRIGGER POINT THERAPY, I STARTED FEELING A RELEASE FROM THE PAIN, THEN MORE ABILITY TO MOVE ABOUT MORE FREELY. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY COMMUNICATE WHAT THIS HAS MEANT TO ME BUT TO SAY THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! THE ADVICE CONCERNING OTHER WELLNESS TECHNIQUES OF STRETCHING, APPROPRIATE WALKING TECHNIQUES AND AWARENESS OF THE NEED TO RELAX HAVE ALSO BEEN GREATLY BENEFICIAL. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES. SINCERELY, D.S. “Since beginning sessions, Joe's unique treatments leave me feeling totally relaxed and peaceful.
