Martha has had the opportunity of working in a variety of professions. She first applied her Bachelor's degree as a psychiatric nurse for 10 years, working with the chronically mentally ill. Then her nurturing spirit served as her foundation through subsequent successes ranging from direct marketing to teaching alpine skiing.After studying with Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar and earning certification in Positive Psychology, she is now writing and teaching on the topics of well-being and happiness.
She is also a Reiki II practitioner, trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and recently served as a teaching assistant for psychologist Maria Sirois in a 3-month course entitled Crafting the Resilient Life, offered at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health.
In all her pursuits, Martha's love of people and relationship development form the core of her work... and her life, which has taken many unexpected turns offering opportunities for personal growth. Another constant in her life is her enthusiasm for the outdoors--she loves skiing, biking, hiking, sailing, and daily walks in the woods with her beloved dog, Stitch.
