My name is Martina
PCI Certified Parent Coach®
Alongside the parents, for the children.
​
My journey into parent coaching is rooted in lived experience, deep empathy, and a lifelong fascination with the relationship between adults and children.
After becoming a mother—and navigating both profound loss and the unique challenges and opportunities of raising my children far from home—I found my purpose in supporting parents to grow with intention, presence, and self-trust.
Parenthood isn't about perfection.
It's about (re)discovering the joy in the journey.
When I first started working with Martina, I was skeptical about whether I needed professional parenting support, and was unclear whether I had any issues worth addressing. What I discovered was both validating and transformative- she helped me recognise the strength in strategies I'd already implemented while equipping me with new tools to address challenges as my daughter continues to grow and test boundaries. The practical results have been fantastic: she no longer watches TV during weekdays, maintains a tidy room, and takes responsibility for cleaning her lunchbox daily. These might seem like small wins, but as parents know, establishing these healthy routines creates ripple effects throughout family life. What I appreciated most was Martina’s supportive approach that built on my parenting instincts rather than trying to replace them. I now face new phases of parenting with both confidence in my abilities and practical strategies to navigate whatever challenges emerge. I would recommend her services to any parent looking for thoughtful, practical guidance that respects their unique family dynamics.

We loved our sessions with Martina. Over the course of 10 sessions we followed a meandering and enlightening path of parenting frameworks, child experiences and family dynamics, all integral to how we parent and aspire to parent our 2 kids. We definitely recommend it for anyone who is either working on specific challenges around parenting or wants to give themselves additional resources.

This has been the most transformative experience at such an important, much-needed point in my parenting journey—like a precious gift to myself. Many tears were shed as I reflected and went inward. The insights I gained about how I operate, how I experience myself, and how I parent have been incredibly powerful to realise. Honestly, it’s been profoundly changing. Though slow and steady, I’ve learned so much about myself and my needs. I can never go back to where I was before this gift of reflection and self-care awareness. Everything is now making sense in a deeply positive and meaningful way. Martina has been incredibly insightful, gentle, aware, and supportive as a parent herself. It’s been a truly beautiful experience to open up and be vulnerable with her in such a nurturing and supportive way.
