Hi, I’m Martine. I help people perform at their best without compromising wellbeing. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in education, leadership, and professional development, I now work with individuals and businesses as a consultant, coach, and trainer. You’ll also find me writing, podcasting, and doodling about working and living well.

To do well, you need to be well.

  • I was genuinely impressed by Martine's facilitation of her Handling Difficult Conversations course. She was engaging and emotionally intelligent, skilfully reading the energy in the room and supporting participants accordingly. The content was clearly well-researched and thoughtfully adapted to suit a very varied audience, which made it all the more impactful. I particularly appreciated how Martine treated me as a peer, creating a space where curiosity was welcomed and encouraged. I would thoroughly recommend her as a trainer and look forward to sending more of my colleagues on her courses.

  • Martine helped me find definition during a very chaotic time. Through her brilliant coaching, I have been able to set and then achieve goals with my work that I had felt stuck and frustrated with. Our coaching sessions even helped me balance everyday life issues. Martine creates a very easy and personable space and is engaging and insightful. I fully recommend her coaching.
