I have always been interested both in my mental/spiritual development and how we can use our minds to push limits and excel. I am interested in both spiritual approaches and the use of science to illuminate what it is to be human and to be on this path we call life.
Over the years I have tried traditional forms of mental therapy but they always felt far too like ‘doctor-patient’. The models/methodologies seemed out of date and didn’t fit… too simplistic, patriarchal, and rigid in their approach.
Finally approaching 50 and recovering from a serious car accident I found my morning’s internal conversations unbearable and realized that my unhappiness, frustrations, and feelings of being ‘mentally blocked’ were damaging my family and threatening the relationships I value the most.
I had met Marta through my ‘adventure tribe’ and one day I read a post she had put up about coaching and her approach… so I reached out. In the first conversation, I felt that it was a good fit and… I was not wrong.
I have done both one-on-one and group sessions with Marta over the past 2 years. The progress I have made has highly surprised me. It’s been noticeable to those closest to me. I significantly improved my relationships with my wife and kids and I no longer live in fear of losing them. I am capable of discussing and sharing issues I would have previously buried.
The best part is that Marta doesn’t just apply the same recipe or formula and try to achieve the same outcome or ‘fix’… she accompanies you and guides you.
I see my mental health as an ongoing journey and Marta has opened up new avenues and helped me explore them. She has given me concrete tools that help me tune up my ride and help massively to keep me on the road and avoid crashing into the ditch…. To be fair: I still crash… however I am rarely badly hurt. I’m quick to recover, and more likely to find a learning and positive outcome.
Is Marta and her approach/techniques the right help for you? Who knows! What I do know is that she is a real person and she will either be able to help you or point you in a direction where you can get the help you need.
Marta is on a mission to effect positive change in this world, and from where I am sitting she appears to be succeeding!
Thanks, Marta!
