Certified Life Coach | Hakomi Psychotherapist | ACMG-Certified Hiking Guide
Nature-inspired mindfulness, and minimizing stress, have long been Martha’s passions.
Martha’s interest in stress as the root of illness began with her Master Herbalist thesis on the causes and impacts of stress in 1999. Next she completed a 4-year (part time) certification in Hakomi mind/body psychotherapy, and led Mindfulness in the Mountains weeks in nature for six summer seasons. Most recently she has been immersed in over a decade of international hiking guiding and marrying couples in the mountains.
Twenty-five years after this interest in stress began, Martha has completed her life coach certification. It brings fresh life to her Mindfulness in the Mountains retreats and ignited her one-on-one life coaching.
Why group coaching in the mountains?
Wild nature impacts us profoundly – it inspires, relaxes, enlivens, connects, disconnects, exhausts, alters perspectives, and even scares us all at different times. It invites us to inhale deeply, open our senses, and pay full attention to our surroundings, our inner experience, and our like minded group!
“Things that were too scary to even consider have become a matter of course. I have gained not just courage, but a sense of safety and trust in my own heart. I cannot recommend Martha enough!”
~ Layla Messner, Canmore, AB
