Client Testimonials

“

“I had the enormous privilege of attending Martha’s Search Inside Yourself practicum. It was such an enriching experience, which was possible because of her impeccable delivery. All the material in the workshop was explained in a very clear manner, the examples were relatable and overall provided very practical tools for applying mindfulness in everyday life. Martha is truly an inspiration of resilience. After the workshop, I came back to my regular work feeling empowered to take on new challenges. Very grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking both to enhance their performance at work, as well as personal growth.”

“I’ve had the sincere pleasure of being the recipient of Martha’s wisdom and knowledge in a couple of different scenarios. I participated in the 30 Day Mindfulness Meditation Challenge and then again the follow up 15 Day Meditation Challenge. Both programs were so insightful and useful with tools that I could apply immediately. I was so impressed, I asked Martha to create and conduct a workshop for my group at the IMF (job seeking spouses/partners of IMF staff members). The workshop, “How to Reinvent Yourself to Flourish in New Life Chapters: Mindful Tools to Connect with Purpose, Build Resilience, and Live with Intention” was a huge success. The tools were immediately applicable, the information and research was current and relevant, the exercises were helpful in applying the knowledge/tools. The attendees were asking for more immediately after the workshop. I give Martha the highest recommendation possible. She has a gift for teaching, speaking and connecting.”

“Martha Brettschneider co-presented a Mindfulness in the Workplace workshop with me and explored the concept of intentional decision making vs. reactive responses from a cognitive perspective. Her practical exercises, concise and engaging presentation skills and on-the-spot connections with the audience were inspiring and effective. I enjoyed collaborating with Martha and together we created a high-quality workshop that received 100% positive reviews.”

I appreciate the breadth and depth of Martha’s skills and knowledge in mindfulness techniques–which she delivers in a straightforward and accessible way, allowing immediate integration of practices that meaningfully impact well-being for body and mind.
