ENDORSEMENTS

Martha has consistently been the favorite among presenters at our agency. Hers have been the most inspirational, motivating and well-received of the many trainings I've coordinated. Energetic, authentic and extremely knowledgeable, Martha presents a wonderful role model for becoming an expert clinician.

You bring strength, warmth, and power to your participants. Sometimes "helping" one person see her own power is worth more than being in the presence of a thousand. That's the gift you gave me; your caring guidance in that writing exercise led me to a scene that holds much value to me now, as a writer, and as a woman. The way you get people to open up and trust you is inspiring. Thank you!

Over two years ago I attended two different trainings presented by Martha, on Self-Care and Grief and Loss. I'm still applying words of wisdom and practical application for both my clients and myself personally. Martha models for any therapist, new or old, how to address difficult topics in a real and genuine way. Outstanding, just outstanding!

Martha is an inspiration to those of us who have been given the gift to help others in their healing process. She is incredibly authentic and speaks directly from the heart in a way that is both warm and motivating. There is a sense of comfort and care that exudes her presentations, and as an audience, we feel well taken care of.
