About Me

My name is Marta, and while I’m originally from Spain, I’ve spent the past 20 years living in south County Galway, Ireland, with my family. Together, we run a small organic vegetable farm that is also home to a centre for Creative & Compassionate Living. Living by an ancient Oak Forest in the West of Ireland has been and continues being the greater gift of this precious life. I am learning from nature everyday. 

My journey with Focusing began long before I knew it had a name. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet practice of noticing, being present with myself, my environment, and my relationships in an embodied way. Over time, this natural inclination deepened through Mindfulness and Zen contemplative practice within the Ordinary Mind tradition, where Focusing began to emerge organically in my life.

Eventually, I began studying Focusing formally, alongside Nonviolent Communication and Mindfulness teachings. My path included three years of in-depth learning with Simon McKibbin at our centre, where I later joined him as a collaborator. I completed my Focusing Practitioner training with Kay Hoffman and am now honored to serve as a certified Focusing Coordinator with The International Focusing Institute.

Over the years, I’ve developed a program called Sensed Ecology, which integrates Focusing with experiential practices in nature. This unique approach helps participants reconnect with their true and most authentic nature as living organisms, rediscovering their place within the intricate web of life. Through Sensed Ecology, I guide people in deepening their connection to themselves, each other, and the natural world.

I accompany individuals and groups on their own Focusing journeys, including supporting aspiring Focusing Professionals and Trainers. My work is rooted in the belief that when we listen deeply to ourselves, to one another, and to the natural world we tap into a profound well of creativity, healing, and connection.

“Your physically felt body is in fact part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people - in fact, the whole universe. This sense of being bodily alive in a vast system is the body and it is felt from inside.’
