How I Work

Pieter Martiz - Unalome Body Therapy

Good bodywork begins in the hands. It deepens when the mind is fully engaged. It becomes something else entirely when the heart is also in the room.

There is a particular quality of attention that makes healing possible — not only technique,
not expertise alone, but also a willingness to be genuinely present with another person,
exactly as they are.

This is what I offer, and it is what I continue to learn.

My practice is built around three complementary modalities — Rosen Method Bodywork, Myofascial Release, and Massage — each one a different way of listening to the body's own intelligence.

Together they form a practice rooted in a simple conviction: that the body is not a problem to be solved, but a living record of everything we have carried, and given the right conditions, a remarkable capacity to reorganise itself.

For some, the need is specific and physical — a postural pattern, restricted mobility, a pain that hasn't shifted despite other treatment. For these I draw on my training in advanced clinical massage and Myofascial Release, working carefully and methodically with what the body presents.

For others it's a sense of disconnection from their bodies, or a feeling of being held in place
by their tension. Perhaps something they cannot quite name. Some come not knowing quite why — only that something needs attention. I meet all of it with curiosity.

That is where I try to begin. Every time.

I work in private- and clinical practices in Hackney, East London and I am Lead Complimentary Therapist at St Joseph's Hospice.
