Welcome!

My name is Martha,

I am a spiritual crisis/psychosis peer, astrologer and embodied mindfulness coach. I offer a tailored approach to helping others integrate expanded states of consciousness and transpersonal crises. If you are looking for psychologically safe and discerning support that is at the same time spiritually oriented and rooted in connection with the Divine, then this might be a good fit. My aim is to help you lean into what the human experience offers us, while preserving the wisdom and connection to something more vast and magical that you discovered during your non-ordinary states.

Although I am working towards becoming a fully qualified counsellor, the motivation for my work in this field is as an experiencer- as someone who has lived through non-ordinary states and transpersonal crisis. I recognise my own distortion and ungroundedness whilst in the midst of those states, which resulted in my being sectioned. I also recognise and have been transformed by the insights, healing and growth that were catalysed thanks to my crisis and am committed to nurturing the potential of challenging transpersonal experiences in others.

As an embodied mindfulness coach I can provide grounding and stabilisation support that is an aid in building a secure foundation of inner safety, self trust and self compassion, from which my clients can delve deeper into their creative and spiritual process.

Astrological guidance can work well for some people alongside crisis integration support by providing a bigger context for experiences, and a sense of place within the universe. When we see our experiences, positive or negative, literally written in the stars, there can be a sense of relief and a renewned feeling of this was meant to happen, what is the learning my soul wanted from this?

Looking back to my own crisis, I wish there had been someone there to walk with me through the messy bit.. the bit where I felt i’d been torn into a thousand pieces and scattered across the floor. I wish there had been someone who believed there was a higher purpose to my breakdown, and could help me ground, stabilise and integrate the huge lessons and gifts that were offered to me.

This is what I hope to provide- spiritually aware and psychologically safe support that honours the transformative potential of challenging transpersonal experiences.

"I'm writing to express that I feel very grateful for our sessions together during the last few weeks. Your level of attention, listening and compassion...and your reflections about the process of touching the edges of sanity are helping me tremendously to integrate this experience and get to a more balanced, accepting and self compassionate place".
