Giselle Martins

OMA Wellness was founded 10 years ago by Giselle Martins, an internationally qualified therapist who takes a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing, integrating contemporary and evidence-based therapeutic methods with
traditional practices. Giselle Martins is a qualified therapist with a Dip. in Counselling and B.Soc.Sc. in Psychology. She has undergone postgraduate training across New Zealand, Brasil, and at UC Berkeley, USA, where she was also directly taught by Peter Levine, the founder of Somatic Experiencing. Additionally, drawing from over 15 years of dedicated meditation practice, and as a certified Taiji and Qigong instructor trained at the Wudang Mountains in China, she integrates mindfulness into her therapeutic approach.
Giselle brings a rich and diverse background to her practice, having worked with Indigenous communities, served as a university course tutor, and supported survivors of severe interpersonal violence and abuse. She has supported hundreds of clients globally through individual therapy, group workshops and retreats. Her purpose is to provide guidance on the journey toward inner peace and resilience.
