“This workshop is the best gift you could give your daughter.

What a beautiful workshop! I can’t thank you enough for your beautiful words, the way you delivered all the teachings, and the way the girls felt empowered to share or not share as they wished. You spoke so positively about everything and what mother could not be grateful to turn what used to be seen as a ‘’curse’’ into a superpower for their daughter?

My 12 year old really enjoyed the teachings on so many levels. She loved what she called all the ‘’spiritual’’ side of things in terms of the candles, cards, drumming and circle ritual, so as a bonus outcome I feel so happy to have opened the world of sisterhood circles to her so young. We are both excited to implement some of the things you talked about into our lives. This experience was truly a gift! I personally got a lot out of the mum’s time sharings too. I really hope to come again with my youngest daughter too.”

“This was life-changing for me. I didn’t know what to expect but I certainly didn’t think it would be so transformative. There’s so many decisions I have made as a result of this workshop and so much more to come. I had no idea what it would mean for myself or my daughter and I really can’t thank you enough!!!”

— Chantal Harrison

“The room at the Becoming A Woman Workshop was so beautiful and safe. All the women and girls seemed relaxed and able to share and learn thanks to Martina's ability to set up and hold such a nourishing space. I have so much joy knowing that this is my daughter's experience and the positive effect the circle creates as we all go out into the world.”

— Natalie Choo

“Martina, you are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for the circle with the girls. And also thank you for doing all this that you do. It’s such a powerful mission. And you’ve lighten a flame in here to come on board and spread the seeds of our deep power. Lots of pennies dropping since the circle.

Alice loved it as much! Lots of tears after the meeting and super bonding conversations came afterwards. It’s magical. Can’t thank you enough for that.”

— Rachael and Alicia

“Thank you so much for those resources and for running such a nurturing, informative and connecting workshop for all of us lucky ladies over the weekend.

I came away from it feeling so grateful Maya and I could have this special time together to learn about the magic and power of being a woman and building our connection with each other.

I know when it’s the time of her menarche she’ll have a completely different experience to what it was like for me.”

— Karenna, Forstville

“My daughter was unsure about coming but was glad that she came. We now have a different language to speak of menstruation and her menarche. It is of great comfort, to me, that the lunar cycle continues to hold me as I move through menopause and grieve the years passed without this knowledge of my own menstrual cycle.”

— Naomi, Manly

“My daughter has not stopped thanking me for bringing her to your wonderful woman’s workshop. Thank you Martina - it was beautiful. Your efforts are appreciated and long lasting. “

— Mum participant

“What a truly beautiful experience it was..! Thank you so much Martina. I feel more whole. And feminine. Embracing the sacred dark powers and recognising the beauty in the cycle. What a feeling, to know that I have divine goddess within.. The healed self. Someone who has answers. It was an honour to be in presence with the beautiful women I met today.”

— Emiko Khoh

“Martina is a highly skilled facilitator who creates a space with just the right balance of warmth, challenge and depth. The work that she’s sharing is so incredibly vital for us women as we learn to sit more and more securely in our rightful, honoured places in the world. So if you’re feeling intrigued or moved by the idea of one of Martina’s workshops, just go!”

— Rachel, Freshwater

“Martina is naturally a magnetic and captivating soul. From the first moment I met her, I could feel her welcoming and loving energy and I knew my first experience in the Womens Circle would be no less than profound.

I came into the Circle seeking a safe place to connect with others and share my story, I wanted to become the seeker of fulfilling and authentic connections and I found exactly that. I have not looked back from the first gathering - I was left with revelations of myself and women as a collective that gave me goosebumps. I resonated so highly with the introduction and explanation of the women's menstrual cycle and I couldn't wait to share what I had learnt with others. I also have never felt so strongly bonded to nature and the simple pleasures around me.

Martina's circle is a divine gateway into this knowledge and phenomenon of womens cycles, providing us with space to connect to ourselves on a deeper level. There is something so special created when we come from a space of vulnerability and being open to share and receive. This has allowed me to connect more with my wisdom body, surrender and trust the process of healing and my intuitive voice. The Circle has also helped to heal me on a bigger level - I am more aware of the cycles that have played a huge part in my life for years - codependency, self criticism, shame and judgement.

Martina is truly wise, kind, generous, intelligent and her personal story inspires me. I am so grateful that I was guided towards such a magical experience. ”

— Claire

“Martina creates a space of nurture and warmth. Her circles allow for a breathing out, a slowing down and reconnecting with oneself - Mind, body and spirit. A raw and meaningful union flows through the circle, weaving an invisible web that deeply connects us.

Martina leads the group boldly, with strength, passion and tenderness. She imparts deep insights and wisdom on the feminine cycles of life, in relation to the moon and reawakens us to past healing traditions, all whilst empowering us to journey to our core and embrace the innate beauty and power within. Each woman shares a part of their journey and the others hold a supportive and loving space for them. I never anticipated how powerful, nourishing and enriching sitting in truth with women could be. Heartfelt gratitude Martina, for being our Sage, I’m already loving this journey and it’s only just begun. ”

— Ann, North Willoughby

“The Moonwise circle represented a big turning point in my life. The first time I joined the circle I experienced the Red Tent ritual and I will never forget that day. It was as a key that opened up a portal that would change my life. Indeed, being part of the circles has helped me immensely in my search for my true nature and to reclaim my authentic power. I've been with Martina and the other sisters for over one year now. It is hard to describe the magic we experience each time we gather. It is about awakening. It is about trust. It is about holding a safe space for each one of us to voice our happiness and/or pains, traumas and whatever our souls are going through. It is a powerful way to (re)discover who we are, but it is also a beautiful way to (re)connect with the others who also need to be heard/listened to. I'm forever grateful for Martina and for the other sisters I have gained in this beautiful journey.”

— Ana Paula, Lane Cove

“Thank you so much for all the work that you do. It’s such a powerful mission. You’ve lightened a flame in here to come on board and spread the seeds of our deep power. Lots of pennies dropping since the last circle, and meaningful and bonding conversations were inspired after that. It's truly magical. Can’t thank you enough for that.”

— Rachel Platenik

“After the Women's Circle, I have felt more connected to nature and to the universe. I have started to value myself so much more and I've had some really peaceful moments by myself in silence in total harmony, it really is such a wonderful feeling. I honour the cycle of grief, knowing there is so much to gain and learn from each stage.”
