About Martha Nichols-Ketchum:

After working several years as a biomechanical engineering consultant, a family member’s illness piqued Martha’s interest in natural healing. She studied traditional naturopathy at Clayton College of Natural Health, which led her to the belief that therapeutic touch, as practiced in massage, is critical to the well-being of the body, mind and soul.

After graduating first in her class from Northwest Arkansas School of Massage in Eureka Springs, Martha opened Ancient Paths Holistic Massage & Health Center here in Eureka Springs.

Martha Nichols-Ketchum has a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, has received her Doctor of Naturopathy degree and has taken continuing education in Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Applied Kinesiology, Reiki, and Healing Touch. She is a Reiki Master and a Healing Touch Apprentice, working toward her certification through the Healing Touch Program. She has also worked as an instructor at Northwest Arkansas School of Massage.
