Thrive with Martina

Ever since I was a child I have found joy in helping others. I was born a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), an empath and an introvert.

I hated seeing others suffer, whether they be humans or animals.  As a child, I was highly intuitive and analytical, which were not easy qualities to possess in childhood, especially as there was no one to guide me. I saw, perceived, and felt experiences that others did not, which was lonely. I was excellent at reading the faces and body language of adults, which helped me survive. I could morph myself into any kind of a child that adult needed me to be. Over the years, I discovered who I really am and learned to embrace my true self. I learned to manage my high sensitivity, intuitive abilities, and introversion. I like to say that I went from an anxious worrier to an enthusiastic warrior!

My journey began when I left home to attend college. It became alarmingly apparent that the life skills I developed as a child were dysfunctional and inadequate in the larger world. I suffered anxiety and depression while searching for better ways to navigate my inner landscape and external enviornments. 

In college I earned a degree in economics, leading to a brief career in corporate sales. While I was good at my job, it lacked the meaning and life purpose I craved. Serendipitously, I was led to pursue contemplatitve practice, which offered me the ability to understand how to work with my sensitivities so that I could thrive in the world. 

I becoming a student and teacher of meditation, mindfulness and intuition. From there, I became an intuitive business coach before obtaining a master’s degree in psychology and advanced certifications in cutting edge technologies and applied neuroscience.

During my career as a trauma recovery psychotherapist I took great care to hide my intuitive gifts. I was concerned I might lose credibility, or worse, my license. My reputation might be tarnished, and I might lose respect from my colleagues.

I was wrong.

In time, I met a remarkable coach and mentor who encouraged me to reclaim the intuitive gifts I had tucked away. Surprisedly, my business soared to new heights. In the process, I created a system that has helped countless introverts and Highly Sensitive Persons. 

It is my passion to partner with high achieving introverts & HSPs to develop customized resiliency skills that allow them to express their natural gifts and claim Reliable Personal Power in every area of their lives.

​Come out of hiding. The world needs your gifts!
