The outside life is not the whole story.
You may be functioning. Loved. Respected — even admired. And still, something in you knows: this version of your life is costing more than anyone can see.
Not because anything has gone wrong. Because something has shifted — quietly, in the space between who you appear to be and who you actually are. That shift is what I work with.

Most women arrive through one of two doors. They are closer to each other than they look.
The Sober Muse Method
For the woman re-examining alcohol.
Not because it has become a problem. Because it has become a question. A 90-day private engagement — no group sessions, no recovery narrative, no one-size-fits-all framework. One woman, one mentor.

II.Female Empowerment & Leadership
For the woman navigating identity, presence, and what comes next.
There is a particular exhaustion that comes not from doing too much, but from being someone who no longer quite fits. The container you built has stopped being the same size as you are. This is information. And it is the beginning of the most interesting work available to you.

The work →
I am interested in the distance between how a woman appears — and how she actually feels inside her own life.
Born in Persia. Adopted by German parents. Educated in Germany and London. I have lived, from the beginning, with the question of who I am underneath the circumstances I was placed in.
Before this practice: personal assistant to Isabella Blow in London. Three published books, including a Spiegel Bestseller. Six years alcohol-free. None of that is the work — it is simply why I can sit with women who are accomplished enough to know that accomplishment is not the answer.

The session with Martina was a thoroughly enriching experience — inspiring, motivating, and above all extremely effective. She has a wonderful way of helping you arrive at important realisations about yourself in a remarkably short time.

Her energy is truly special. The topics we discuss resonate so deeply with my own thoughts — as if taken directly from my own mind. She speaks from experience and conveys profound depth.
