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. Raised between Germany, London, Paris, and Ibiza. 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. Years inside the international creative and fashion industry, watching what success can cost the women inside it. Three published books, including a Spiegel Bestseller. Six years alcohol-free. None of that is the work — it is simply why I understand what it takes to build a life that fits who you actually are.

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.

A dear friend introduced me to Martina's Dry January Challenge. What began as an experiment quickly became one of the most significant months of my life. With Martina's support I not only completed the challenge but gained a much deeper understanding of my relationship with myself. Challenge accomplished.

I've had a few conversations with Martina, and 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. Every interaction is deeply inspiring.
Harita

Martina has so many wonderful attributes that it is very difficult to describe the full impact in a few sentences. She is warm, supportive, constructive and very professional — with great expertise to guide people in finding their way. Highly recommended for anyone seeking serious personal development.

The session with Martina was a thoroughly enriching experience. It was 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.
