“Working with Martina has been a truly life-changing experience. From the very beginning, she created a space that felt safe, compassionate, and free of judgment. Her calm presence, deep empathy, and insightful guidance have helped me navigate some of the most challenging times in my life with strength and clarity.
Martina has an exceptional ability to listen — not just to words, but to what lies beneath them — and she gently encourages growth at a pace that feels natural and respectful. Her professionalism is matched by her genuine care, and I always leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and a little more empowered.
I’m deeply grateful for the work we’ve done together and couldn’t recommend Martina more highly to anyone seeking support, healing, or personal growth.”

“Working with Martina, I experience a space that is collaborative, creative, contemplative and compassionate, feeling safe and contained within a soul depth connection. It is as if a light shines onto the work, which expresses integrity, professionalism, kindness and wisdom, guided by ethics; all of this, present with sincere authenticity.
Then - light shines from the work.
Within the space, true and honest reflection emerges, honoring my flaws and encouraging acknowledgement of work well done. It is a space of growth and transformation.
Thank you Martina.”

“Martina has a spiritual and heart-centered gift. Her beautifully aligned spirit and intention seem to strengthen the heart–mind connection—I felt that deeply myself.
She brings a powerful presence to the circle, helping us feel connected to something larger. Circles, as she reminds us, have no beginning or end—they just get deeper over time, and Martina reflects that with such grace. Even on Zoom, it felt like we were side-by-side in something sacred.
Her facilitation opens hearts, creates safety, and offers a beautiful blend of spiritual insight, deep listening, and soulful teaching. The material was rich, the breakout rooms deeply connecting, and her use of The Thread by William Stafford grounded me in something eternal.
Martina weaves heart, soul, and culture with great sensitivity. Her circles are truly healing spaces.”

“Martina helped me to see health as holistic, that there are many different aspects to health, not just physical and mental. The process we went through helped me identify my unhealthy habits, but more importantly the deeper reasons for these behaviours to keep persisting. Understanding some of the causes, helped us to identify paths to solutions. But it was only after enough sessions with Martina that I was prepared to implement the solutions. When I got to this stage my mindset and behaviours felt so healthy, strong and positive. I am deeply indebted to Martina. She is so skilled and knowledgeable, and her characteristics and personality full of kindness, care, compassion and non-judgement make her naturally suited to this work. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. A million thanks Martina.”

“Martina is a wonderful therapist who gently helped me work through my anxiety by exploring the deeper issues beneath it. She is warm, kind hearted and sensitive, and always made me feel comfortable and truly listened to. Her non-judgmental and engaging approach helped me open up at my own pace, and I always felt supported during our sessions. Martina is also very professional, creating a space that felt both safe and respectful. Her guidance made a meaningful difference in my life, and I am grateful for the help she provided during a time when I really needed it.”

“Martina had come highly recommended to me as a therapist who could help provide me with counselling.
I was going through an extremely difficult time in my personal life due to a relationship break up and really needed help in understanding and dealing with this on-going situation and critically also with myself and my feelings.
From the first time I met Martina I have found her to be very understanding of the issues and emotional trauma I was going through. She listened to me and has been tremendously insightful in her understanding of not just the situation I was dealing with directly but also helping me to make sense of what had happened and indeed helping me to bring to the surface aspects about my personality that have for me been emotionally debilitating throughout my life. This on -going process, although difficult, is giving me new-found possibilities and allowing me to understand and change things about myself, for the better, that without Martina’s expert counsel, would have I believe continued to remain dormant in my life thereby allowing the damaging effects these personality traits have had on me to continue.
It is a journey but the most important journey I am making in my life; to find the real ‘me’ and I am delighted to have Martina there to help me work through it.”

“I am a trainee Psychotherapist and my college had recommended Martina to me as I began my journey of personal development and healing.
Martina’s wisdom and years of experience as a psychotherapist along with her compassion, warmth and her non-judgemental presence created a safe environment for us to explore aspects of myself and allow for further healing.
I am grateful to Martina for her capacity to meet me where I am and walking my journey with me over the last three years.
Martina’s embodied presence and her ability to stay with me moment to moment has supported new awareness to arise for me gifting me with new experiences and choices in my life.
As a trainee therapist I am delighted to have Martina as my personal therapist, and I truly believe our contact will inspire me as I prepare to support others in this field.
Thank you Martina.”

““I can’t recommend Martina enough. She has been such a supportive presence, both in one-to-one work with me and in couples sessions with my partner. She has a real gift for holding a safe and grounded space, which made it possible for us to explore challenges with honesty and care. Her approach helped us find clarity about how to move forward together, especially during important life moments like preparing for our trip to Brazil. I’ve always felt truly listened to and supported, and I’m deeply grateful for the way she works.””
