Hi, Marta here.
It is an honour to have you come across The Genuine Wave.
TGW is the natural expression of my own journey and my deep calling to contribute to a kinder, more conscious and connected world.
My mission is to bring light to our shared human experience and help you make the most of your time on Earth. So that when you leave this planet, you can do so in full embodied conviction that you’ve lived your truth, expanded with courage, loved deeply and savoured being alive.
This lives in my life’s work as a breathwork facilitator and integrative coach. I blend a range of mind-body techniques to support your journey of reconnection and growth.
My belief is simple. You are a creative being full of life force and deep wisdom. In you lives the ability to heal, change and rewrite your story.
I am a deeply curious human, who devotes her time to being of service. A lifelong learner, a passionate traveller, an inquisitive thinker, a highly sensitive and empathetic soul, and someone profoundly connected to nature and all living beings.
At the core, my goal is to leave rooms, people and nature better than I found them.
The Scope of My Work
I believe transformation asks for both courage and softness. The willingness to stop bypassing what's uncomfortable, and the safety to actually do that.
My work lives at the intersection of breathwork, somatic coaching, and Emotional Freedom Techniques. The modalities are the doorway. What happens inside follows a deeper arc, one I witness again and again:
Safety creates permission — to meet the parts of yourself you've kept at a distance. Feeling allows for release: beyond the thoughts and into the body. What was stuck begins to move. And from that release comes expansion, and eventually, aligned action: The conversation you finally have. The boundary you finally hold. The choice made from your truth instead of fear.
I walk beside you as it unfolds, honouring the beauty and uniqueness of your journey through a safe, ethical and trauma-informed lens.
My Values
I believe striving for a lifestyle that enables you to operate in alignment with your values is essential to wellbeing. Your values are informative of who you are and why you’re in this world.
Whether you act in coherence or not will determine everything.
These are the values that act as north stars in everything I do:
Training & Expertise
Drawing from a previous career across international business environments, today my path is one of full immersion in personal development and emotional wellbeing.
My work sits at the intersection of coaching psychology, neuroscience, somatics and energetics, guided by intuition and anchored in ethics.
The thoughtful combination of these fascinating fields coupled with my innately compassionate and curious nature, allow me to grasp a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be you right now.
In pursuit of continuously broadening my knowledge, I have completed the following training programs:
EFT Tapping Level II - EFT International
Trauma-informed Expanded States Breathwork Certified Teacher Training - &also by Jelena
Breathwork, Neuroscience & Ice Bath Certified Instructor Training - Macarena Musante YACEP
Sound Healing Practitioner - YACEP
Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner & Emotional Intelligence Coach - GlobalNLP
Health Coaching Training Program - Institute Integrative Nutrition
Fuelled by a desire to expand my impact, while also meeting my fascination for the intricacy and mysteries of the human psyche, my professional development is a life-long endeavour.
Yet, above all, I am an imperfect student of life, who continues to walk the walk, doing the inner work, questioning my belief system, failing, learning, evolving, and experiencing everything I teach first-hand. Taking life in through all of my senses.
My own challenges and fears are my greatest masters.
I am grateful for the opportunity to develop professionally and personally in a field I feel truly compelled by, but it most definitely wasn’t always this way. More on that below, where I share the path that has brought me here today with you.
My Journey
Today - quite literally, every morning - I feel deep gratitude to inhabit a resilient mind. Through years of devoted inner work, lived experience, and unwavering commitment, I’ve developed the capacity to meet life with trust, to become fluent in the language of my nervous system, and to navigate challenges from a place of self-leadership, embodied safety, purpose and faith.
Yet, truth is, this couldn’t be further apart from my previous reality!
My journey was marked early on in my childhood years, living in a painful depressive state. One that, alongside its deeply embedded self-destructive behaviours, was to accompany me well into early adulthood. It’s safe to say I spent the first quarter of my life in a permanent freeze state, feeling trapped in both a career path and lifestyle that were completely misaligned, in every way.
In hindsight, I now clearly see how those years were to become my most profound teachers. They shaped not only who I am, but how and why I hold others today.
If there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this: I understand, deeply, what it means to be both the battleground and the prisoner: to be trapped in patterns you didn’t consciously choose, yet don’t really know how to leave. And I also know what it takes to come back home.
My path has also confronted me with the harsh realities we often avoid: the fragility of our bodies, the limits of control, the ache of witnessing someone you love suffer, and the raw truth that time, is finite.
Most precisely, the passing of my dad, with whom I shared a rare and indescribably intimate bond. His transcendence reshaped me by clarifying what truly matters.
Today, my work is informed by this lived knowing: that alignment should not be a luxury, that presence is invaluable, and that postponing life comes at a cost. I support others not from theory alone, but from integrated experience.
If there is one unstoppable force that fuels my devotion to this work, it is the desire to empower you to fully embody your truest self and soul calling, so you can live in such a way in which, when the inevitable last day on Earth arrives, you can look back with gratitude and satisfaction at the magnificent adventure your life has been - because you’ve learned, loved and LIVED.
Honoured to walk this path,
Marta
