Martha
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor
Martha (R-HYI & Licensed Associate Counselor) was introduced to Holy Yoga in 2009 while pursuing a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling. After earning her clinician’s license in 2013, interning in nonprofit practice and addiction recovery, Martha presented at the Christian Association of Psychological Studies conferences on the benefits of yoga as a supplement to trauma/stress therapy. She became a Holy Yoga Trauma-Sensitive Certified Instructor in 2016, along with fellow Phoenix Seminary alum, Mandy Higginbotham, owner/Clinical Director of Ezra Counseling Services.
Martha is an athlete and aerialist (silks), but believes yoga is the inter-connecting link between work and recovery, whether physical or psychological. A businesswoman by day, Martha is a pioneer in using and advancing mental health insights in the workplace, particularly related to employee engagement and disaster recovery.
