A Little About Me

​​​

My name is Heike Martin, and I am a Certified Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle Practitioner, Certified Life, Health & Wellness Coach, and Certified Biology of Trauma® Professional. I work with individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their health—especially those navigating chronic stress, fatigue, and unresolved symptoms—through a trauma-informed, whole-person approach to healing.

My path to this work is deeply personal. I understand what it feels like to live in a body that doesn't seem to respond to conventional answers—to be told things look "normal," while still feeling anything but. Those seasons of uncertainty, reflection, and resilience shaped not only my own healing but also my professional commitment to walk alongside others with compassion and clarity.

Over time, I was drawn to a more integrative framework—Functional Nutrition, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and parts work. These tools did more than address symptoms; they helped me cultivate a more peaceful, restorative relationship with my body. They shifted my approach from "fixing" symptoms to listening to the body's deeper wisdom.

Today, my work is grounded in the understanding that health is influenced by many layers—biology, history, environment, and story. True healing happens when we approach the body with respect, patience, and safety, creating space for transformation that goes far beyond quick fixes.

How I Support You

  • Functional Nutrition and Root-Cause Exploration
    Identifying imbalances by mapping symptoms, timelines, and system interactions, rather than chasing isolated diagnoses.

  • Trauma-Informed Care
    Recognizing how past experiences and chronic stress shape biology, and approaching healing with safety and compassion at the center.

  • Nervous System Regulation and Somatic Practices
    Teaching gentle, body-based tools to help shift from survival patterns into states of safety, rest, and healing.

  • Parts Work and Inner Compassion
    Helping clients reconnect with the protective parts of themselves that have been working hard behind the scenes, creating space for wholeness.

  • Whole-Person Healing
    Honoring the unique biology, history, environment, and emotional landscape of each individual—tailoring care to fit the person, not just the symptoms.

  • Grace-Paced Transformation
    Healing is not rushed. I meet clients exactly where they are, helping to foster sustainable, deep-rooted change with kindness and respect.

My focus is not simply to provide information, but to offer a space of transformation—anchored in safety, grace, and the belief that healing begins with being heard.
