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.
