Healing is not a journey toward wholeness.

It is wholeness unfolding.

 

Hello! I'm Donna Martin. Welcome to my new website! I have recently retired after more than thirty years as an international Hakomi trainer. I had the privilege of working closely with its originator Ron Kurtz for the last twenty years of his life.  Even before that I was teaching and leading workshops in yoga for self awareness, meditation, stress management, relationships, and bodymind healing.  Since 2010, my focus has shifted to teaching and writing about an original integrative practice which I call psoma.  (Please read more about that in my articles.)  Along with my books on Psoma and Psoma Yoga Therapy, I have published several other books including the Practice of Loving Presence, Embodied Mindfulness - the Hakomi Way, When Your Body Says Yes, and Your Heart’s Path to Partnering.
