EMBRACE ALL OF YOUR SEASONS &

Soften into your Inner Alchemy

Embrace holistic growth with somatic practices and cyclical wisdom. Join me in a journey of surrender and expansion through Nature, conscious movement, befriending your whole emotional landscape and embodying your sovereign self in all of your expressions.

You came here to live your most expansive life

A life with joy, pleasure, play and wonder while embracing all of what makes you who you are. Without bypassing any emotions or inner-parts. With nurturing, gentle strength, and a deepening relationship with yourself, your beautiful body and your full emotional landscape.

To do this, we must embrace that we are cyclical beings, that we are Nature, and that we live our most fulfilled lives when we bring our uniqueness in service to the Collective. That we need to honour all of our seasons of life, every death and rebirth, even acknowledging the grief of what no longer is while navigating thresholds of unknown…and possibility.

do you feel this deep yearning in your heart?

CLIENT LOVE

“Marta is a rare soul; she is compassionate, wise, and gracious as well as incredibly warm and welcoming.

[my experience] was not only nourishing and transformative but it was also a place of safety which is hard to find in this world. I left feeling seen, heard, and held. What a gift..”

- Charlotte H.

  • Marta has such deep knowledge and intuitive guidance as a gift - and she packages that gift with passion, intuitive direction and softness. As Human Design was still a very new concept to me, she also educated me on all the deep knowledge and wisdom, before diving in to give me a very wholesome and well-defined interpretation and reading of my chart. I loved her session, I loved the learning and felt incredibly held in her space and heart.

    - Natalie Kashani

  • Marta has helped me as a mentor through some very though times, and I can say she has a true gift. Her ability to be there, to accept you and make you feel accepted, to guide you to find your own tools to evolve is everything one could ask for in a mentor and more. She has this great ability to hold space for everyone, and truly connect, that you can allow yourself to be whoever you are and learn how to really take care of yourself, your emotions, your vulnerability and strengths. She guided me with Qigong practices, long talks and also provided the guide I needed during emergency times (in my case, those were panic and anxiety attacks). I feel more than grateful to have met her!

    - Sara B

  • Qigong with Marta is a favorite indulgence of mine when I want to treat myself, its also a go to in times of need, weariness, or doubt. When I'm lucky enough to go every week it becomes a habit that sustains my vitality like nothing else I've tried. When I first tried a class with Marta I could feel that energy was finally moving for me and it was honestly so easy, her peaceful energy and playful demeanor brightens my mood and her tips and knowledge dispersed throughout the lessons help keep me engaged as I move through the routines. Best of all, at the end, I always feel like I gave my body and soul something it needed. I recommend her highly to all my friends who are interested in feeling better.

    - Lori Ann

  • Classes with Marta are very different from what I've done before, in a very positive sense. The movements are fluid, dynamic and, given my sceptical attitude in general, surprisingly effective. The flow is subtle, but it's there, which means that the transformation is too. You just have to be attentive and present in the moment. The moment of the class is our time, rescued from the rush of the day. Marta helps with the rest. I'm very grateful to her for what I'm achieving step by step. Have fun. I do

    - Jo

  • I was having a lot of anxiety attacks for various reasons, missing my family, the pandemic, many uncertainties that culminated in a burnout! I already knew Marta and her work, so I told her what had happened and we started working on my breathing. These simple exercises have made a huge difference in alleviating the symptoms and reducing the number of anxiety attacks. The uncertainties continue and so do the problems, but breathing has been fundamental to getting through these episodes well! Thank you Marta!

    - Úrsula C.

  • Marta guided me through my human design chart with ease clearly explaining how it works (as I’m new to human design) and what are the key components of my chart. Marta is intuitively lead selecting key elements to pick out and highlight which had an impactful resonance with me. I was amazed at how much of my personality, purpose and fears/worries are clearly seen by diving into my human design. It was a pleasure to receive this reading from Marta, and listen to her wonderful insights of my chart, the shadows and the gifts and everything in between. I believe her combined experience of holding space in circles and qi gong give her a wonderful ability of being able to perceive what needs to be read from the chart, weaving these insights into her communications to me beautifully. Thank you. 💗

    - Rachel R.

  • Practicing Qi Gong with Marta during my pregnancy was very rewarding. We worked on the pelvic floor and its elasticity, as well as breathing, posture, fluid retention, and mental preparation for childbirth and the postpartum period. Even though it was my second child, I still had fears and anxieties about the quality of my pregnancy. I worked with Marta on all these points and approached labour calmly, accepting the circumstances, and, above all, being prepared. Her approach is gentle and intelligent, as well as very effective. I ended up diving into the practice with almost daily dedication. I recommend Marta's work and care throughout pregnancy, for a much more enriching experience of Love.

    - Jo N

  • I did not know what to expect from a Circle, as I’ve never participated in one before, and I am generally not too much into the spiritual stuff. It was an interesting and even transformative experience. The informational e-mail up front was very helpful in preparing me for the event. While I haven’t completely changed my values or beliefs, it opened up the possibilities to more openness. I was stunned by the strong kinship I felt after barely an hour of talking and listening to the other participants. It left me with a warm yet vulnerable feeling. The guidance was stellar, with just the right amount of guiding us into a calm and open frame of mind, adding to the conversation and the gentle closing of a moment that could’ve easily lasted for an hour or so more. I also enormously appreciated the ‘aftercare’ e-mail, checking up on the participants and reminding us to tend to ourselves after the beautiful rawness of Circle. It’s not something for me for every week, but I am planning on doing this again.

    - Eveline L.

  • I turned to Marta to help me with tools to understand and work with my pelvic floor due to the discomfort I was feeling. I learned breathing techniques and pelvic massage. Marta is a person who listens to your problems, is empathetic and put me at ease. She was willing to help me and I finally felt listened to about my problem. I recommend her.

    - Anonymous

  • The experience of mentoring with Marta has been wonderful, in the support during my pregnancy and beyond. The best part is feeling heard without being judged, learning to listen and communicate with my body, always calmly, and at my own pace.

    - Ivonne M

  • It was an important session for me. It brought me clarity and allowed me to become aware of some characteristics. I felt Marta's professionalism, availability, and dedication before and during the session. I felt welcomed and supported with my questions and sharing. I recommend Marta's work, both as a professional and as the Human Being she is.

    - Milena M.

  • It went far beyond my expectations. Very profound and yet coherent. It [Human Design] offers a completely different perspective on character/personality while complementing so many others I have encountered. I can only say: "Go and try it." It's worth every euro invested.

    - G.G.

  • I've never taken part in a Forest Mind before but I'm grateful that my first experience was guided by Marta! It was an intense immersive experience in the Choupal Forest. This idyllic place will never be the same for me again, but in a good way. I had a greater perception of my surroundings guided by Marta's friendly hand and calm voice. An experience to be repeated

    - L.G.

  • I was blessed with a one-on-one qigong class with Marta and I am still in awe of her deep love and care for both the ancient practice, as well as for her practitioners. I felt so seen and held during the class, and she had created a beautiful sequence to support my body through a difficult time and it was evident how much intention she had placed into it. I highly recommend booking a session with her if you are curious on getting loving guidance towards befriending your subtle energy field, moving in a gentle and supportive way for your body, and spending time with a practitioner who truly cares for you and your well-being. I cannot thank you enough, Marta.

    - Bergy S.

  • I was accompanied by Marta about my struggle to have pleasure in my intimate life. She made me feel secure talking about this issue and gave me some concrete tips. My way is still long to be myself and let it go, but i am convinced that practising meditation and self-love helps me.

    - Edit L

  • I had the most wonderful HD Reading with Marta! She is empathic, sweet and funny, and also very organized and clear in her explanations! There is just so much information that I'm excited to digest, reflect and try from the reading, and she makes sure to explain it in the nicest way. Thanks Marta for your wonderful energy :)

    - Angela J

  • Fascinating session! Marta really broke it down what Human Design is and then the basics of my chart too in such a helpful and understandable way. I really didn’t know anything about human design so was really interesting and helpful to have Marta guide me through it all and it left me feeling empowered to be my true authentic self. Also really helpful to have the notes and audio recording of the live session given afterwards so I could just be present and take it all in without making my own notes enabling me to be more present too. Highly recommend Marta if you want a guide through your chart.

    - N.W.

  • Marta is truly a wonderful human being, warm and very passionate about Human Design. The session was really a great intro into HD for me as she explained all that I needed to know and guided me though my chart. I would recommend Marta to anyone wishing to explore Human Design and gain more understanding about its potential.

    - M.N.W.

  • I recently had the opportunity to try qigong for the first time with Marta, and it was an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding experience. Marta is a fantastic teacher, and she made the practice accessible and fun, even for a person that strongly doubts holistic or spirituality. I was impressed by Marta’s knowledge and expertise, and I could tell that she truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She provided clear instructions and guidance, and she was always available to answer questions and provide support. Overall, I found my first experience with qigong to be incredibly beneficial, and I credit much of that to Marta’s skill as a teacher. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in trying qigong.

    - R.P.

  • I had my first Qigong practice ever and I loved the way you introduced me to this. Not only that your voice is so calm and sweet, but also the way you explain things and the safe space you create is fantastic. I felt very relaxed, centered, and grateful for the experience. And it also helped me with my PMS.

    - Flavia Andrei

  • It was a very interesting [Human Design] experience, in which Marta accompanies us in the discovery and understanding of many of our characteristics. It is a process of valuing each individual and the differences between everyone, in a logic of complementarity. I recommend it!

    - Tânia A.

  • I'm normally a restless person, so activities like meditation don't appeal to me. However, I took part [in Forest Mind] with an open mind and was able to let go and share the emotions I felt during the exercises. In the first few exercises, I sadly remembered my late dog Max with his ears flapping, but with Marta's help I was able to develop a little more acceptance. At the end of the activity I felt freer and we were treated to a visit from a red squirrel. Thank you Marta!

    - Rui P.

  • When I got pregnant, I thought I should start exercising, as I had never done anything before. So I found some different classes [Qigong] that helped both me and my baby, and at the same time, I became aware of each movement I was making, since Marta not only explained the movements but also the reasons behind them. I found it very interesting as a first-time mom. The classes were online but always with the right level of guidance. For me, it was a 10, and it helped me immensely to calm my nerves. Thank you for everything.

    - Beatriz D.G.

  • My first Human Design reading with Marta was truly profound and felt complete in every sense. She provided a clear and resonating overview of the fundamental elements of my design, helping me understand key behaviors, patterns, and needs with remarkable precision. What stood out most was the way she connected big-picture insights with smaller, detailed aspects of my life - past, present, and future - revealing meaningful connections I hadn’t fully seen before. The beauty of her approach lies in its depth and flexibility: while the reading offered a wonderful foundation, it also left space for future sessions to explore specific aspects whenever life feels uncertain or challenging. Marta’s ability to provide precise answers to my tailored questions made this an empowering gift to myself as I step into 2025 with greater clarity, alignment, and self-awareness. I now feel guided to honor the balance of being over doing and to give the right parts of my life the attention they deserve, all from the lens of my unique design. Merci *

    - Nadine E.

  • I feel that it is a very integrative approach, bringing together many loose pieces of a puzzle, and in the end, the final vision of ourselves makes a lot of sense. Very grateful!
