About Martine
Martine is a PACFA-registered Certified Practicing Psychotherapist (Graduate Diploma in Contemporary Gestalt Therapy), and an experienced telephone crisis supporter at Lifeline.
With more than twenty years experience in corporate communications and change management, she embarked on her own career change journey in 2016.
She is currently undertaking Level 3 training in the beautiful, mindfulness-centred, somatic psychotherapy of Hakomi.
Learning from compassionate and dedicated traditions continues to delight, stretch and surprise her.
Martine grew up in Sydney in the 1970s, the youngest of three. Her early years revolved around reading, piano, netball and cats. After studying journalism, she worked in community and government communications before later moving into change management and the mental health sector.
Today Martine lives on a small property in peaceful Wonnarua Country (Dungog Shire) and combines a part-time career in change and communications, with her private therapy practice and Lifeline.
