Therapy with me is a genuine meeting—relational, honest, and human. Nothing is off the table. Through open conversation we discover new perspectives and pathways for meaningful change.
I’m Martina, and I believe we can grow and transform at every stage of life.
For over 25 years I have had the privilege of accompanying individuals and groups through seasons of healing, transition, and transformation. This is more than a profession—it is a vocation rooted in deep listening, steady presence, and a trust in our natural capacity to grow, heal, and rediscover meaning.
My approach is soulful and relational, grounded in genuine human connection. I offer a space where you can bring your whole self, where silence has value, and where your story is welcomed in all its complexity and beauty.
I draw from many streams—Gestalt psychotherapy, the wisdom of conscious eldering, Celtic insights, and my training as a forgiveness ambassador. At heart, my work is to hold space with compassion and curiosity, helping you find clarity, wholeness, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I am also a mother and a grandmother. Life has tutored me through joy and sorrow, love and loss. These experiences deepen my faith in the resilience of the human heart and remind me that the second half of life is not a diminishing but a deepening—an invitation to live with honesty, courage, and grace.
In recent years my focus has expanded to include the profound transitions of ageing and dying well. As a Sage-ing Leader and Anam Cara companion, I guide others in embracing the gifts of elderhood, facing mortality with openness, and living each day with intention.

Mission Statement
Rooted in my own spiritual path, I hold a deep trust in the healing of humanity. We are not separate from nature; we are of it. When we return to our true nature, we help to restore wholeness—within ourselves and in the wider world.
I walk with individuals as they navigate the thresholds of healing and the longing for meaning. In working in the circle-way, I help communities listen for the wisdom that arises when hearts and stories meet.
Core Values & Beliefs
- Presence: Transformation begins with presence — to ourselves, to one another, and to the moment.
- Integrity: I walk my own path of inner work and aim to meet others with honesty and compassion.
- Sacred Listening: I believe in the healing power of deep, non-judgmental listening.
- Community & Circle: Wisdom grows in circle. We are not meant to walk alone.
- Elderhood as Gift: Ageing consciously is a gift to the individual and the collective — a reclaiming of wisdom and wholeness.
- Soul-Centered Living: Life has more depth than surface. I believe in following the soul’s call, even when it disrupts the status quo.
