Physiotherapist, Osteopath & Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist
Languages: English, Spanish & French
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Esther Martínez Navarro brings a deeply integrative, trauma-informed approach to the regulation of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). A Physiotherapist, Osteopath, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (BCST), she works at the meeting point of body and nervous system to support patients living with chronic pain, stress, trauma, and somatoemotional tension.
Her clinical foundation is enriched by advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS Levels 1 and 2), Compassionate Inquiry, and specialised pre- and perinatal therapy. This combination allows her to accompany patients through emotional, somatic, developmental, and trauma-related challenges with depth and sensitivity, meeting each person exactly where they are.
Esther supports a wide range of conditions, including headaches and migraines, tinnitus, chronic pain, digestive issues, stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. She also works extensively with babies, children, and their families throughout their developmental journey, with particular expertise in breastfeeding support as a trained lactation consultant.
At Maison Santé, Esther offers two advanced, non-invasive therapies for nervous-system regulation. As the only NESA non-invasive neuromodulation provider in the UAE, she uses gentle microcurrent therapy to rebalance the ANS – supporting better sleep, chronic and neuropathic pain, muscle recovery, anxiety, and overactive bladder. As a certified provider of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, she uses specially filtered music to guide the nervous system out of stress states, helping with anxiety, sensory sensitivities, trauma, and attention difficulties.
Her work is grounded in the belief that lasting health begins with a regulated nervous system. By combining manual therapy, neuromodulation, and a compassionate, trauma-informed presence, Esther helps patients move from survival toward balance, resilience, and well-being.
