True North Guide

Martina currently resides in Chicago, but was born Slovakia, formally known as Czechoslovakia. As a child she spent much of her time at her grandmothers cabin in the mountains where she explored the picturesque mountains, picked wild mushrooms and berries, star gazed and listened to folk stories around the campfire. At an early age, Martina was very connected to nature, animals, and the spirit world.

Growing up in the communist era, Martina’s parents wanted a better life for the family, so they immigrated to the U.S. Not knowing the culture or language, Martina’s parents worked hard to get established and create a better life for their daughters. Learning that hard work is expected, nothing is for free, and opportunity doesn’t just happen, Martina worked very hard in creating and living the “American dream”.

After losing her mom to cancer at a young age, Martina chose to follow her calling of wanting to help people heal, so she became a nurse. After many years at the bed side, Martina got restless and pursued a career that would elevate her status, bring in more money and more opportunities. She became obsessed with having it all... more clothes, more vacations, better boyfriends, and being seen at the best restaurants and parties. She was living the American dream, but the dream came at a great cost…she lost her connection to spirit and God; she was numb and sleepwalking her way through life.

 

Her Pivotal Moment

 

After repeated heartbreaks and BIG financial losses, Martina found herself questioning the purpose of life, and why she was doing things that brought her misery…dating narcissistic and emotionally unavailable men, hanging out with toxic friends, excessively drinking, and people pleasing. So, the journey of self-exploration and healing began.
 

Coming Out of the Corporate Closet

 

Martina has a very successful career in healthcare with 20 years’ experience in sales, training & education, marketing and public speaking. However, there’s a secret that Martina has been hiding and she’s ready to share with the world… for the past 10-years Martina has been quietly learning and exploring the healing and spiritual aspects of sacred Amazonian medicines. Having the honor to learn from very special Medicine men and women and work with sacred medicines, allowed Martina to heal her past, release what was no longer serving her, and ultimately find her purpose in life. Martina trained to become a certified medicine woman and coach in hopes that she can help lead others to such an impactful shift in their own lives.
