Apparently not taking on new clients and/or not open for business at this time. Left word a few times once last week and once on Monday and never received a call back. Thank you. read more

Marti is one of the most beautiful individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is so full of love and is absolutely amazing at what she does. This is her passion and genuinely loves helping people. This isn't about money for her, it's about helping people find themselves again. I found Marti from reading all of these awesome Yelp reviews and was immediately drawn to her. I had never received reiki before, nor did I know much about it. I now know that's the way it was supposed to happen. I came to Mari completely vulnerable and so ready to find my light again. Everything about the first visit flowed so easily from the second I entered her space. I had the most powerful experience. In just one session she led me back to my true self which had been hiding for more than half of my life. It was such a magical experience and unfortunately can't be put into words. I have so much gratitude for Marti's gift. I've since returned to her and plan to continue reiki because it's brought me so much happiness! There's absolutely nothing to fear here. If you are reading this review, it's because your light is trying to find it's way over the craziness of life. Let Marti guide you back to your true happiness. read more

I was so inspired by Marti when I started her yoga class. Her patience teaching me to love yoga again has propelled me to do classes faithfully, now a year later, sometimes three times a week. I learned to breathe properly so that my breath became a tool to use to stretch my body comfortably. I see and feel the difference remembering many of her lessons learned in the fundamentals of yoga. I enjoyed how Marti as a teacher guided me into poses assuring me that with practice and proper breathing, I can do it. I continue my practice thankful that I met her and received the techniques that make my yoga classes enjoyable while challenging. She will be an inspiration to many who attend her class. read more

Marti Maley - All ready for class with props - Yoga Near Me

Frankly, I was turned off to yoga. I had been in a long term relationship with a yoga instructor and I used meditation and breathing just to navigate being yelled at for not transcending already or achieving perfect chakra levels. If there were jumper cables that could shock my system or an acai Bowl of answers to the universe, I was looking for them. Marti, you taught this old dog to play again. My heart felt really light. She welcomed me into the space and all the pressure was gone. Usually I dread walking into these and being surrounded by folks that are like gods and goddesses and I'm here trying to figure out how to channel my inner tree. Genuinely, she catered to my abilities. We spoke and I heard myself say positive things, freely. I guess that's what was so valuable to me. Freedom. She reminded me that this was my experience and that I could have it. I smiled and laughed the entire time. Tears of healing. Breath escaped and then filled my lungs, and that duet danced through me the entire time. I can say, for having built walls and extra locks around my heart, it was unfamiliar to be unchained. I wasn't seeking a feeling and indulging in it, hoping it were real, it just was. Go and do Reiki with Marti. Treat yourself. read more

Late. This review is super late. But just like I told my professors in college, it wasn't my fault. I blame the economy. Amazing. Marti is simply amazing at what she does. The moment I walked in, she made me feel unbelievably comfortable and excited. Which is amazing since I have never done reiki before nor was I terribly open to the idea. That speaks volumes of Marti's experience, patience, and heart. Vulnerability. I have always loved the idea that vulnerability equaled strength. That idea always lived in my head, but rarely did it live in my heart. Marti is all heart. We started the session with a kind and open talk. Here, she encouraged me to open about my life, the good and the bad. It was truly refreshing to speak to someone so engaged and caring. We could have talked for hours. Afterwards, she guided me to the floor and had me lay down on my back to finish the session. Strength. The strength of Marti's love could fill universes (or maybe acai bowls- Andres). Her love is simply powerful. She showers you with this love and it eats away at all your ego. All your doubts. All your shields. And leaves you looking at your true self, for which I am eternally grateful. Marti. What more can I say about Marti? She is a beautiful human being. Her experience, knowledge, and passion for healing is remarkable and she does this all with immense grace. I definitely recommend a session with her! read more

I'm one of those people that constantly have trouble falling asleep because my mind can't shut off. I'm trying to grow my career while managing a stressful job to pay the bills, and I often feel overwhelmed. Enter Marti. I have never felt so at peace, so blissful, than during and after a session with her. Going to a healing session can be a bit intimidating. I wasn't really sure what to expect, and I wasn't really sure if I was ready (or able) to open up. But Marti quickly gains your trust and guides you through a session that's a little bit guided meditation, a little bit yoga, and a little bit reiki, and a lot a bit of everything you need. After the session, my shoulders were no longer up near my ears with tension and stress, and I slept better than ever before. Thank you Marti, and I can't wait to continue working with you! read more

Getting a Reiki session from Marti felt like I was being cared for, listened to and LOVED. She can't help but exude love while she is giving Reiki, because each of her sessions come directly from her heart and soul. She is caring, attentive and really focused in on everything I wanted to work on. I cried and had a hugely needed emotional release within her session, and I can't wait to get more sessions from her. When the release started...she was right there with me, supporting me through it...but not getting in the way of what I was needing to release. That is a fine line between supporting a release and getting in the way of it releasing...Marti knows exactly where that line is, and works there beautifully. Receiving Reiki from Marti is definitely a top priority on my self care regimen. I cannot wait for my next session! read more

I'm lucky to have known Marti for nearly 3 years, and have always been drawn to her genuine and loving acceptance. I see so many people in this city searching for meaning, but few are as honest, humble and grounded as Marti. When she invited me to attend a healing session, I wasn't sure what to expect. I attended traditional therapy sessions for years, which have been instrumental in my personal growth. But a recent transition left me feeling lost and overwhelmed, and I accepted Marti's invitation at the perfect time. The session was beautiful and unlike anything I've ever experienced. Marti's presence and her idyllic studio created a safe space for me to let go of everything I thought, and just feel. Her unconditional love and acceptance had an unexpected effect. I let my guard down in a new way, and literally saw myself as I never had before--I saw me, not trying or pretending to be anything else. I knew that I was worthy of love, first and foremost from myself. Words can't describe the tingly floaty feeling I had after the session. More than a week later, I still feel relaxed and empowered to tackle my days. I've been more productive, less anxious and I haven't felt the need to hide from the world. Long story short...go. Even if you're nervous, or self conscious, or you don't totally believe it will work...go. It's an experience you will not forget. read more

Marti is kind hearted, warm, friendly and she makes it easy to relax around her. She makes you feel relieved of your daily burdens and you find that strange and unpleasant feelings and emotions that have plagued you will suddenly leave you after a session. It's not just yoga, it's yoga and reiki with an aim to heal. We can all use a little healing no matter what and Marti can help guide you through it. Afterwards she smiles at you and you have a nice sense of inner peace. In a busy Mecca like LA, Marti is an oasis of calm and pleasantness. read more

Marti is exceptional at her craft. She first subbed for a yoga instructor at my CrossFit gym and she brought a refreshing practice into my life. In fact, many of us "regulars" commented that we could benefit from a long term balance of traditional vinyasa yoga alongside Marti's mindfulness yoga. I took the next step and asked Marti for a private session. Marti's private space is inviting, calming, and perfectly suited for reflection. She started our session with a sit-down catch-up, where she invited me to open up on the "sticky points" going on in my life (concerns, ideas that take a lot of my attention, etc.). Verbally expressing some of my deep-rooted (subconscious) issues allowed me to open up fully in our hour-long meditative practice. Marti's guidance kept me grounded and present, and she helped my thoughts calm, my soul relax, and my spirits rejuvenate. While I do not traditionally practice mindfulness (I should!), this was such a memorable and impactful experience because it proved taking time for your self is an often overlooked practice that would benefit us all. I highly recommend Marti to new and experienced yogis looking to explore mindfulness through breathing and concentration on the present. Marti will guide you effortlessly on a journey that will stay with you long after you leave her care. Enjoy! read more

The service Marti offers is extraordinary. I'm naturally a very pragmatic person, skeptical of most forms of "mysticism". Marti doesn't trade in mysticism. She trades in peace of mind. She delivers calm and she gives. That last requires no modifier. Marti gives, without reservation. She creates an experience that in my recollection is unique. The opportunity simply to be. Just for a short time. To exist without analysis or concern. Whether you believe in the healing power of reiki or the benefits of yoga is irrelevant. Everyone needs to relax. Marti delivers relaxation and a moment of peace. All in a welcoming manner, without judgement or message. I cannot recommend the experience highly enough. read more

I cannot imagine anyone not having a positive experience with this loving, accepting, and present human being. Upon walking in I instantly felt a warm and generous aura. She took her time to listen and tune herself to my goals for the session before beginning. Then, through the relaxing healing process she skillfully stripped away all of the unnecessary noise (stress, fear, doubt, etc) in the body and mind that holds so many of us back, and grounded me in my authentic core. I left revitalized, grateful, and focused - with a peaceful enthusiasm to resume my daily goals. If only everyone booked a session with her! Thank you Marti for making the world a more beautiful place through your healing. I look forward to coming back! read more

Marti Maley has an incredible gift. Meeting up with Marti has helped me to find my center again and to sift out what I need in my life. She is kind and patient and she knows how to make you feel the most comfortable. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Marti. If you are going through a rough time in your life, looking for answers within, or seeking to just generally better yourself, Marti is your gal. read more

Marti has been a complete blessing in my life. From the first session I knew I could trust her and that she was going to help lead me down the path of truly finding myself and finding that inner peace. Right away Marti has this amazing way of making you feel safe. You will feel like you have known her for years because of her compassionate heart and her sincere way of helping you along your journey. Every session I have with Marti is magical and I can't wait to see where my journey with her guidance leads me. read more

I recently got a Reiki healing session from Marty. A very profound experience. She guided me through a 60 minute Reiki session. Its hard to put into words exactly how great the experience was. I walked away feeling happy, grounded, centered, focused and healed. Call Marty today. You wont be sorry. read more

Marti is so authentic and welcoming, I felt comfortable and connected with her instantly upon walking into her studio. I was a bit nervous and didn't know what to expect from the session, but she is such a calm and gentle guide, I felt encouraged to experience whatever it was that I needed to experience, in a completely safe and accepting environment. Marti is truly gifted at Reiki. I had tried Reiki once before in NH and left feeling unsure if anything had happened.. Unsure if it "worked". One session with Marti and I understood what Reiki is all about. Her touch is pure love. Her style of practice was beautiful, powerful and moving. She was so present and attentive the entire time I was in her studio. After the session I felt centered, calm and present. I will definitely be returning to work with her again. My session was physically, emotionally and spiritually moving. Words cannot do it justice so I encourage you to try a session with this beautiful soul. read more

If you arrived to her Yelp page then you've done some good research already. :) I'll get right to it! I was going through a rough time in my life a few months ago. Career, relationship, health scares, etc. I was someone you didn't really want to be around and I didn't want anyone around. So much of my life was up in the air and I was not in control. Overall a complete mess, leaving me distraught and I started to develop severe anxiety and panic attacks (You know...when it rains, it pours kinda story). It was awful. Since I don't think a pill is a long term answer, I looked into Reiki. I had seen a Reiki healer the week before, but something about that healer didn't feel genuine and thankfully I listened to my intuition. Then I met Marti...and never looked back. I'm not sure how I got so lucky to meet her. She has such a beautiful spirit and loving way to make you feel extra comfortable and calm - all even before starting a session. The session itself is not something I can fully describe... it's an experience filled with a lot of emotion and the energy in the room remains after as well. The only way to describe it, but that doesn't really come close: You feel as if you're surrounded by positive and uplifting energy where nothing can really let you down, not even yourself (isn't that what we are all looking for most?). On top of that, Marti is so passionate about this and super connected on a much greater level with you too. She's smart, humble, easy to talk to, welcomes all feelings, but overall someone who you can trust to help you through a difficult time. She provided me techniques and resources that fit my lifestyle best, so I am able to continue my growth and help myself. Note: Nothing seems forced. She's just an amazing human being to be around and what she says and does comes from her heart. During our sessions, we talk in detail about the situations in my life. Never do I feel like her mind is somewhere else, she always there with me and listening closely to every detail most people don't always pick up on. Marti always has unique ideas for the session that day depending on my energy and what is happening in my life. I felt (still feel) significant changes after each session and noticed my attitude shift towards people, sensitive circumstances, but mostly within myself. I began to love myself again and therein-lies the real win. I could go on about this ongoing journey and how my life is back to normal AND better. Yes, it's really the steps you decide to take, but without her guidance and healing hands, I am 100% sure I would still be a disaster. That being said, I continue to see her and encourage anyone reading this to give her a try. She is a real healer. I am forever grateful Marti! Thank you! read more

It's rare to find a guide on one's journey of self-enlightenment as gifted as Marti. She possesses inexhaustible patience, compassion and empathy. Sessions with Marti can be yoga flavored... allowing any negative patterns your body might be holding to find release, or she may find intuitively that your soul and spirit need her hypnotic mix of what I can only describe as magic Reiki. She absolutely is capable of transferring her also inexhaustible positive energy... you can feel it when it happens, and it Is magical. read more

Marti is incredible. I've been going through a lot of stress and she helped me be present with myself and was so kind, encouraging, and gentle. I've never done anything like this before and I am definitely a skeptic when it comes to these kinds of things, but I'm so glad that I tried something new. It's also worth mentioning that the practice space is very comfortable and homey. I felt so refreshed after my session today... Thank you Marti! read more

Every time I practice with Marti I leave feeling renewed and at peace. She guides you on a journey to presence through releasing, yoga and meditation! Love practicing with her!! read more

Marti is amazing!! I had never done Reiki before and have always had trouble meditating so I had no idea what to expect, but I left feeling 10x lighter. She has a very calming power and makes sure that your session is tailored to you. read more

I had a private reiki session with Marti the other day and it was amazing! She is one of the kindest, friendliest, loveliest people you will ever meet. She just can't help but constantly radiate a positive, joyful energy that is infectious to everyone around her. The session itself was very calm and peaceful, in a beautiful, quiet environment. She helped me relax and meditate while listening to serene music and enjoying her gentle, loving touch. If you are feeling stressed or unhappy about anything in your life, go see Marti. You definitely won't regret it. read more

I recently went to Marti for a healing session after I had been laid off from my job. Actually, we had scheduled the session before that even happened. A coincidence? I think not. So it was perfect timing for me to get some healing work done to help me transition out from my previous job, and helping me shift my energy to help invite some beautiful new things into my life. I felt very comfortable and at ease with Marti right away. She has a very loving and caring way about her, and you trust her and feel like you have just found a new best friend, all at the same time. She listened very attentively to what was going on in my life, and then guided me through a beautiful healing session. I felt so supported throughout, nurtured and cared for on all levels, and I loved Marti's approach of combining very gentle movement, breathwork and Reiki. The session was perfect and just what I needed to set the stage for a new chapter in my life. In fact, my plan is to focus on my own business, and just as I left Marti's place I was contacted by a potential client. Thank you Marti, for providing a safe space to release the old me, and welcome in the new! read more

I am so happy I had my first Reiki experience with Marti. I came in with some very personal issues that had just struck me deeply. Immediately Marti sat down with me in a comfortable serene studio where she holds her classes, and we discussed what were some of the things I would like to work through in our Reiki session. She really listened to me without judgment, and I knew by her presence that I was safe to let myself be vulnerable and let the session truly affect me. As Marti guided me gently through the meditation, I could feel my scattered thoughts, anxiety, and sadness slip away. At the end, I was full of peace. Marti is a healer! She really was able to open me up to release all the negative and confusing energy that was surrounding me. Go see her if you need some spiritual comfort and cleansing. She definitely has a gift of relieving pain. read more

Marti has an amazing gift!!! I've been struggling with anxiety and Marti's private session helped me let go of all my fears. I pray and meditate everyday but I kept doubting all of my prayers and Marti's session helped me tap into an higher level of intimacy with the Lord. It was just what I needed and I think this class would be great for all believers who are in need of a transformation to grow closer and become more confident in the Lord through LOVE! :) read more

Where do I start with Marti? How about I get to the chase, the point, the reason you're reading my review? The question running through your mind: Should I book Marti for her services? Then answer is: YES! DO IT! DO IT NOW! Call that number and set up your time. Why? Because you found her page for a reason, someone recommended her for a reason and here you are reading dozens of reviews that say "Book Marti". The sign is here. The look is over. Okay, reasons to book her: she is kind, caring, thoughtful, considerate, intuitive, healing (yes, herself is healing), understanding, funny, vivacious and most of all loving, from the depths of her soul. My experience: I didn't know what to expect. I just thought I'd give it a go and that was a wonderful decision. I've been off kilter for some time now. Marti say that, worked on it and confirmed my existence is meaningful. read more

It had been over 12 years since I had tried Reiki, so I was admittedly cautious and skeptical, but Marti made me feel instantly at ease. She emits such a positive, caring, and healing vibe that even the most stubborn of Taurus men can't resist. I have been twice so far and have left both sessions feeling relaxed and at peace. Ms. Maley has a gift, and I urge you to give her a try. read more

Marti is Awesome! I decided to go for a Reiki session without knowing anything about the practice, and I'm super glad I did. Although it requires being vulnerable, Marti provided a comfortable and safe environment that made it easy to let go. I highly recommend going, sometimes we forget to do good things for our soul, but going to Marti is a great place to start! read more

I'm a true believer in everything happening for a reason and the perfect timing of my session with Marti couldn't have happened at a better moment. We had just moved into our new home and while I was excited about having our own space, there was a lot of unexpected stress that came with the transition (moving away from our friends, renovations gone wrong and trying to make this new space feel like ours, meanwhile planning our wedding.) Marti, realizing I had a lot on my plate with the house (plus an 18 month toddler) came over and our Reiki session was EXACTLY what I needed. Not only did I come out of it with a feeling of lightness but also a confidence that I was precisely where I needed to be, that everything would work out just as it was supposed to and this next step in our lives was, in fact, the right one. I was able to let so much go and just BE. Be in the moment. Be confident. I opened my eyes at the end of the session and suddenly found myself having re-grasped my strength and power as a woman and mother, something I felt I didn't totally have a handle on during this transition. Thank you so much Marti...so much! read more

i first experienced marti's magic when she subbed for the yoga class at my gym. she led the group through an incredibly peaceful practice unlike anything i had experienced. i contacted marti to set up a private reiki session completely unsure (and admittedly slightly nervous!) about what it would be. i arrived at marti's studio which was beautifully lit with candles and a mellow welcoming atmosphere. she even has a "healing fish" that is part of her studio. we sat together and spoke for awhile about my reasons for wanting to try reiki and more. then we moved into the session which is truly difficult to describe. it was transcendent and floaty and heart warming and soulful. marti really does have magic in her heart and hands. at one point she helped me stand up and just embraced me. i burst into tears it was emotionally overwhelming. i have found myself using some of her breathing techniques when trying to be mindful or to fall asleep and am so excited to go back next month to see her again. she is wonderful!! read more

Marti is the most amazing person. She has helped me focus and become a better person. Her energy and spirit make her the easiest person in the world to relax and release around. Plus her laugh will free your soul!! read more

To say I was skeptical about reiki would be an understatement. But after feeling completely overwhelmed, exhausted and generally overloaded by life I decided to give it a try. The whole experience was unique and soothing. Marti just has that kind of face and personality that makes you want to open up to her and I found myself pouring out all of the frustrations I've been bottling up. The reiki was like a guided meditation. I struggle to relax and switch off but I quickly found myself in my own little world and before I knew it I was being gently guided to stand in front of a mirror where I opened my eyes and saw someone who was a bit broken...but that was ok because it was acceptable to be that way and you don't have to be strong all of the time. Overall, it was a positive, life enhancing experience and Marti is definitely the only person I'd trust with something where you are so vulnerable and open. Amazing lady and an amazing experience! read more

Marti is truly God sent. I'd been harboring a lot of stress from having to do so much work that is not related towards my career. That coupled with regular day to day stress had turned me into a ball of anxiety. I'd been seeing so many posts about Marti's Reiki sessions and while really nervous about the whole experience, I decided to reach out to her. I am so glad I did. The minute she greets you in her studio you are immediately struck by a wave of peaceful energy. I felt so instantaneously comfortable and right away I began to unload. The actual experience is hard to describe, but more than anything it feels as if you are transported into another sphere. One where you are able to release everything and really connect to yourself and the world around you. It was truly magical. I left being able to breathe better and feeling stronger. The next day I had the most wonderful message sent to me. I woke up and did some meditation that Marti had taught me to do. I went to my kitchen to make breakfast and right on my fridge I saw a bright green praying mantis on the side panel. I had never seen one before in my life so I was initially surprised. I noticed that he/she wasn't moving so I knew it wasn't your typical insect. In looking it up I was flooded by articles about what they symbolize. A few of the words that stuck out to me were: God's presence, patience, stillness, Female warrior energy. I read on about how they are sign and reminder to "be still, go within, meditate, get quiet and reach a place on calm." I definitely reached that place in my session. A place I had not been in, in a long time but thanks to Marti, I was able to reconnect to that part of myself. I am infinitely grateful. Thank you, Marti. read more

Marti is not only expert in yoga, but an inspired and inspirational healer. She has greatly helped me to see, hear and feel the healing power of the world around me and the spirit within. She can help you, too. read more

Marti has a gentle approach to reiki and each time I've gone to her, I have left feeling like I got exactly what I needed that I didn't even know I did. What strikes me the most about her is that she is intuitive- nothing is pre-planned in terms of how she is going to guide you through. She uses her intuition to feel into what you soulfully need and she lets that be her guide, and that makes all the difference. There was one particular meditation that left me feeling so present that I felt like I could actually see air and energy moving around me. It was in my acting class right before I did a scene and it made me so present in the moment, I felt like time was standing still and all I could react to and see was the other person in the scene with me. The world outside of our scene truly felt like it did not exist in that moment. It was a lovely and surreal experience that made me feel an immense amount of joy. I have been to quite a few reiki practitioners and I count my experiences with Marti among the best and the biggest testament to that is the fact that I keep going back. Highly recommend! read more

The first time I met Marti, I instantly and instinctively knew there was something special about her. She has such a warm, kind, beautiful soul that she pours into her clients without barriers. I'd never done anything like this before and was a little nervous (read: skeptical). Still, having been under tremendous stress and heartbreak lately, I was open to learning. I was seeking relief from the weight I've been carrying around and that's exactly what Marti delivered: relief. She creates a safe space for you to talk and share your heart with no judgment, only empathy. Any geeks out there remember when Korra lost her connection to the Avatar lineage and was feeling all hopeless and then realized the power of the Avatars was always right within herself... and then she surpassed the Avatar State and kicked ass? ::pushes nerd glasses back up:: Well, Marti helps you tap into your inner Avatar power. In other words, her words and touch act as an anchor to the world as you travel into the deep, dark, scary parts to find yourself, to find your light, ::ahem:: to find your inner Avatar (sorry, couldn't help it). At a bare minimum, I felt comforted, like I was linked to another spirit to help carry my burden for a while, but what I experienced was far more than comfort. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and like I could really breathe for the first time in months. Like I said, relief. I swear, even my skin lightened a few shades. I would recommend this to anyone feeling any level of stress, from mildly worried to completely drowning. I know I have a lot of work to do moving forward, but Marti reminded me that I am absolutely still here and still capable of doing it. Basically, it was great. You should do it. K. Bye. read more

Thanks to Marti and my session with her I have been able to move on from a chapter that had been opened in my life for over a year, and a very toxic one for my mental health. You really wanna have a session with her if you want to go back to your true self. She is AMAZING. read more

Marti is an incredible trusting soul. I did my first reiki session with her and honestly I was petrified going into it! I knew it would be a vulnerable practice, and any hesitation I had immediately subsided when hugging her just to say Hello. I had such an amazing experience and I fully believe this is because of Marti and her technique, knowledge, and most of all her heart, love and care. And pure joy in doing what she does! I will absolutely be back to check back in with myself - and Marti :). Thank you Marti for all that you do! read more

I came in to the studio kinda in a funk, but still ready for whatever. Man was I in for a experience of a life time. I met Marti very nice and warm energy. Her smile was already making me feel better. Her style was so free and beautiful, she let me totally relax and free myself of all my fears. I just met your 10 minutes ago and I already was surrendering myself to her soft voice. I felt I could trust her and i was in good hands, the flow was amazing and enlightening so much love and great energy filling the room. I felt blissed out for the whole time I was there, she was so nice and totally allowed me to be myself. If you want a glimpse of what enlightenment is like then I highly recommend her classes! read more

Tonight's yoga class was transformative and magical. I've been going to Marti's classes for a few months and she is really in tuned to her students' energies and exactly what they need for that class. It may change from class to class but she is so intuitive that she quickly knows exactly what that is and will focus the class accordingly. Every class is different because of this. I love that she understands that yoga is a group practice, as well as for the individual student. The group's energy plays a big part in her classes. She brings something very special to her practice--a combination of reiki, meditation and yoga. Sometimes we even dance. Every time I leave class, I feel lighter, more present, with tools to help me navigate every day life's challenges. I highly recommend this beautiful soul if you are looking for someone to change your life in the best of ways. read more
