"I came into the course not knowing much of Martine. I am now such a fan of her work and authentic delivery of some incredibly sensitive topics that need not to be shamed but sat with as reality for some"

"You really have a natural gift for teaching this content but also it's clear you have studied and done your research and training thoroughly. You come across so authentic in this teaching it is hard not to be inspired to learn more and spread the good word."

“Thank you for a wonderful and insightful weekend. I am so looking forward to the next training session. You do wonderful work :) “

“I feel like this sort of training should be mandatory for all yoga teachers. I spent my first few years as a yoga student being told how I should feel and move in my own body. I now consider this sort of language as negligent, especially for anyone who has experienced trauma in their life. And let’s be honest, it would be hard to find some today who hasn’t had a traumatic experience in their lifetime. I highly recommend this training to all yoga teachers.”

“I am so very grateful that I found this training you offer. I am learning new language, understanding my body and brain and it is all immediately transferred to use for myself, at home and in my workplace. I can’t thank you enough. “

“Genuinely one of the best trauma or yoga learning workshops I’ve participated in. Martine’s style and her focus on the participants embodying their own experience and her facilitation is excellent. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Martine during the mentorship program.  Martine was incredibly generous with her knowledge, experiences and time. Martine was very emphatic as a mentor and gave me insights that were not only rooted in scientific, evidence-based findings but also her rich experiences spanning over many years. “

“I recently had a lived experience of a personal situation - my best friend was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. As a yoga teacher who had basic knowledge of how trauma can affect your body I was inspired to find training in trauma-informed yoga creating a spark and a yearning to deeper understand how it can affect us. Martine's course was exactly what I was after. Not only was this course recommended to me by another highly respected Yoga Teacher but when I met Martine I felt so at ease. She is the most approachable and empathic person to learn from, she also teaches with a perfect mix of personal experiences and insights and scientific/backed knowledge from the Boston Trauma Centre.”

“This training is invaluable in understanding helping to understand people's experience with complex trauma and how is unique for everyone and every body. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“A great way to explore the foundational concepts around trauma and how it sits in our body and how we show up for ourselves and others. Everybody could benefit from the key elements offered here.”

“Great that this online training is available to encourage the development of therapists living and working in diverse and under-served communities.”

I learnt so much as Martine guided us along with her vast knowledge. Martine is very experienced and her empathy and compassion shone through.”

“Martine is so skilled at delivering this practice with her ability to be able to tease out the complexities of this terrain of complex trauma in the way that she models and articulates.”

“excellent, professional, informative, nurturing and inclusive.”

“Martine's style in presenting this training is warm, confident and inviting to all individuals participating. She has extensive knowledge and experience and brings this into the training material.”
