Somatic Leadership: The biological prerequisite for High Performance.

Systems are shaking. The pressure is rising. I train you to regulate your nervous system under high pressure – so that you can shift from being driven to being the driver.

Why old strategies become a risk in times of transformation.

In a world full of fake news and AI, people are radically seeking authenticity. Those who hide today lose the trust of their team.

2. Cognitive Limits

Energy is lacking

Your mind wants to go faster than your nervous system can. Mental strategies are no longer sufficient for this level of complexity. Those who do not use the body as a strategic tool leave massive potential on the table.

  1. Networks don't carry

Networks don't carry

True alliances that carry you through difficult times require trust. Those who cannot build relationships stand alone in the storm.

That doesn't have to be:

An update for your operating system.

I connect strategic development with somatic work.

Instead of spending hours analyzing problems, we regulate the state that causes them. We work precisely on your "Human Operating System."

About Marta

Political scientist. Therapist. Somatic strategist.

True transformation requires more than tactics. It needs biological safety. I connect political strategy with clinical psychosomatics to make leaders in top-tier organizations resilient.


My approach is radically pragmatic: I understand the pressure in the boardroom and the biological costs it incurs. We don’t use your nervous system for relaxation, but as a strategic precision tool and leadership.
