About Bearded Bear Massage
About Martin – The Bearded Bear 🐻
Welcome to Bearded Bear Massage. My name is Martin, and I’m proud to work as a Gay Massage Therapist in Nottingham, offering a unique blend of skilled bodywork, genuine care, and an inclusive, welcoming environment.
Massage, for me, is more than a technique; it’s a way of creating space for men to feel safe, seen, and supported. As both a clinically trained massage therapist and naturopath, I draw upon years of professional training and experience to provide treatments that not only relax the body but also restore balance to the mind. Whether you’re dealing with muscular aches from the gym, tension from daily stress, or simply seeking the grounding experience of touch, I create sessions tailored to your individual needs.
As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I understand the importance of spaces where people can be themselves without judgement or pressure. I chose the name Bearded Bear as a reflection of my own identity, but also as a symbol of strength, warmth, and community. My practice is built on the values of acceptance, authenticity, and care—qualities that ensure every client feels comfortable, respected, and at ease.
I specialise in recovery massage, deep tissue release, and restorative techniques designed to ease muscular strain, encourage circulation, and promote long-term wellbeing. Many of my clients come to me after workouts, long weeks at work, or during times when they simply need to pause and reset. My role is to support you—whether through firm therapeutic pressure or gentler, nurturing work—so that you leave each session feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself.
Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist is, for many, about more than the massage itself—it’s about trust, comfort, and knowing that your identity is fully respected. I honour that trust with professionalism, confidentiality, and genuine care in every treatment I provide.
