You know a lot – but your impact falls short of your expectations.

How you're feeling:

You start overthinking long before the meeting begins. While others glide effortlessly through their presentations, you feel a knot forming in your stomach. Your heart races, your shoulders tense up and your voice falters.


You're exhausted, yet here you are back at your desk. You care about everyone, but you end up neglecting yourself – I know that all too well.

My name is Marta, and I will help you find your strength again.

I have provided over 2,000 hours of body-oriented therapy and have experience as a leader and manager. I have built teams, led processes and taken responsibility as an entrepreneur.


My mission is to show people in challenging professional positions how they can utilise the often overlooked professional strength of their body.


To achieve this, I combine body-oriented methods with strategic thinking to help people develop a presence that has a deeper impact than words alone.


As a speaker, facilitator and host of the Somatic Lab podcast, I regularly take to the stage and support leaders in workshops, keynotes and panel discussions. I work in German and English and am active internationally, from Berlin to Zurich to Lisbon.
